16 REAL ESTATE. The Transactions of the Loan Market Not Extensive. Inquiries for Property Not Numer- ous, and Sales Few. Something Further About Capitalists and Loan Associations. Summary of Real Estate Transactions for Half of 1876. THE LOAN MARKET. BUSINESS FAIR UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES. The figures of tbe consideration of trust deeds and mortgages make quite a fair show- ing, but an analysis reveals the fact that more than one-half the amount represents somcthing elsc than actualloans. There was considerable business done the past week in securing indebt~ edness, which creditors thought would be safer if fastened down by real-cstate security. There 15 Do change in the rate of intercst,—S and 9 arc the figures,—and, although money is plentiful, holders show no disposition to come down to Jower rates. There 15 2 fair demand for money for building purposes, and several good loans with this end in view are in process of negotia- tion. Businessissaid to be very fair, which means as good as can be expected under the circumstances. The fmportant transactions of the past week ‘were as follows: 1 Eight hundred and seventy-five fect frontage between Twenty-sccond and Moore streets, near Leavitt, to eccure §16,125. 2.

THERE WERE FEW INQUIRIES for improved or unimproved property last weck &nd few sales. Tae market remains in 2 condi- tion of greater dullness than has been witness- ed for many years. In truth, the. state of af- fairs now prevailing is irrational, and illustrates the sheep-like way in which men move. Real- estate, residence, and business property can now be bought at prices yielding from 8 to 10 per cent nmet. A return like ibis in -thesec times amounts to- a gunar- extee of a handsome profit in _the wcer future. Capital, on the other hand, is oiied up in the banks and trust companies seek- ing investment. That capital and real estate do ot come together in numerous bargains is due simply to the lack of intelligence among capi- talists. There is noform of investment which iclds more certaloly, and none which inthe Jon run vields more profit than real estate. The principal sales of the week were: Charles D. Cole purchased a house and lot on Prn&'loe avenue, south of Thirty-fifth street, for $3.000. Edgar T. Paul sold Block 17 in Dingee’s Addi tion 1o Wilmette, for $10,000. A. P.

CHICAGO, July 15.—~A. correspondent in last Sunday’s TRIBUNE, over: the signature of #Btockholder,” opens an article as follows: “The plan suggested for the securing of homes by salaried and laboring men in the most eco- nomic way Jy O. C. Gibbs in your issue of Sun- day last is good in theory, and, could it be ap- plied to any extent, would meet my hearty ap- proval. But as capitalists do not build and sell houses on the plan he proposes, his figares are valucless when applied to the plan pursued by building and loan associations.” As I do not care to be placed before the pub- lic as advocate of impracticable theories, permit me to say a word in reply, that some capitalists do build and sell houses on precisely the plan I pro- pose. 1f “Stockholder” will call uponme. I will takehim to theofficcof a Chicago capitalist well known in this city, and show’ him a set of books covering a business of some five or six vears, in which this same capitalist has built ana sold several hundred houses in the suburbs of Baltimore and Savannah on precisely theplan Ipropose, and that it has been entirely suc- cessful as a strictly business enterprise, leaving out of the account the principles of practical be- neyotence, which, in his case, form an im- portant element of the work. 1 am reliably informed that a similar building: enterprise has been suceessfully carried on dur- ing the past gcnr or two in a suburb of Cincin- natl, but with the details of which I am not ac- quainted. An enterprise of a similar character, though differing in its details, has been. success- fully carried out in the vicinity of Boston under the advice and direction of the Hon, Josiah Quincy, a full explanation of which is con- tain in a little amphlet ublished by Mr. Quincey. entitled " Moderate Houses for Moderate Means,” which, I have no doubt, the author would send to any one on application to him at Boston. Iwill simply say of this plan that it cmbraced an_nssociation of some twenty industrious mechanics, who purchased a tract of 1and in the Town of Dedham (adjoining the city), subdivided it among themsclves, and borrowed money of one of the savings banks with which to build—the entire membership of the associa- tion becoming responmsible ~for cach in- dividual loan, the members making their weekly deposits in the ravings banks, and at the end of_every six months having cred- ited to them on their loan the amount deposit- cd, with the interest accrued upon the same, less the interest due from each on his loan. And, finally, if Stockholder ” will take the trouble to call on me, I will take pleasure in showing him houses which have been built and sold this summer by Chicago capitalists on my plan, and othier houses now in process of ercg- tion, which are for sale on the same plin. And, further than this, I can give him the names of other Chicago capitalists who are ready to build and sell on this same plan s soon as satisied that purchasers for such cheap homes can be found, which I think this season’s work will practically demon- strate. At the risk of repetition of matter em- braced in previous articles, I desire to restate what I regard as_the main points of my plan. First—As regardsthe purchaser: It gives tothe man of moderate income whose living expenscs, including rent, now absorb his entire earnings, a chance to secure and own a home, and com- mence accumulating by taking him out of his rented house and ~ placing him where his _monthly rs{nyments, instead of being hopelessly sl in rent, will apply on the purchase of his home, less the in- terest, which will be diminishing with each month’s payment. It places his family in better physical, sowial, and moral conditions than is ‘possible with bis weans in the city. It furnishes the strongest possible motive to industry and cconomy—the dropping off of unnecessafy ex- penses—in order that the home may be paid for, and furpishes him a standing ground jrom which to work, and a leverage :ith which to work, which he lacked before, and without ‘which accumulations were impossible. Second—As - regards the capitalist: It far- nishes & safe investment for money— the property being sold on _contrict, the title remaining in the scller until the entire amount is paid unless otherwise pre- ferred, and the purchaser ;mying interest at 8 per cent from the time of his dllmmhm which Interest can be included in cach wmonth’s pay- ment, or made payable quarterly or semi- annually. It will fpny a reasonable profit on the Iot and the cost of the house, but a greater in the enhanced value given to adjoining lots not built upon. Iam aware that many will say this is too much of a retail business for a capitalist to en- gafie in, and I admit the full force of this. nd yet to a man who has a sensc of his stew- ardship and who wishes to use his means in such a way as to most benefit his fellow-men, even if it does involve some labor and sacrifice on his part, I can conceive of no more satisfac- tory plan for the use of moncy, since it em- Draces the elements of a_grand benevolent work, without the admixture of a single grain of char- iy to detract from its value. Of course, cheap houses on cheap lots, and proximity to the city, with convenient and cheap transportation facilities are essential elements in the success of such a work. 0. C. GsBs.

The decrease may be attributed to various causes, but we suspect it to be largely due to the cessation of the rumor, our ‘‘trades™ to get rid of incumbered pro]ietly. A vast amount of property has been changing hands of late ycars through the efforts of weak holders to get rid of heavily-mortgaged realty. About all the ‘““swaps” necessary have been made, and the record of transfers is shrinking to its natural proportions. MISCELLANEOTUS, BUILDING-PERMITS. Owing to the improvements in progress in Superintendent Bailey’s quarters, and to the fact that one day was given up to the election, there were fewer building-permits fssued last week than usual. During the week ending July 14, there were twenty permits granted for the erection of fifty-one buildings, a3 will more fully appear from the following rccord: George Ducker, onc-story store, 2570, at 314 ‘West Madison strect.

BUILDING IN NEW YORK. ‘The report of Superintendent Adams, of the New York City Department of Buildings, for the quarter cnding June 30, shows thut the bullaing trade has been kept up to the average of former years in many respects. The quarter mentfoned is tLo busy season of the year, many more works being entered upon and “plans filed during tie montbs of April, May, and June than during any other thrce months of the year. The report shows that during the past quarter plans and specifications have been filed to the number of 257, as against 206 last vear, and 284 for the corresponding period of 1874. Some of these plans embrace scveral buildings, in some cases long rows of flats or tenements. Com- paring_the number of buildings, there were in 187, 447; in 1875, 476; and in 1876, S new structures Empoaed for erce- tion, showing mor® buildings with fewer owners. This result is probably duc to the present opportunity for cheap building being seized upon by many cstate ownens for the ini- provement, of their lots. This improvement is mainly seen in the ercction of rows of brown- stones along the line of the Fourth avenue, be- tween the Grand Central Depot and Harlem River, also far ovér on the west side, about Tifty-ninth street and above. In the estimated costs of the new structures embraced in the plaus the past quarter shows a material increase over the corresponding quar- ters of 1875 or 1874. With the cueap rates at which builders are now willing to undertake new work, the comparative increase is far more than the comparison of fignres would indicate. In 1574 the estimate reached $6,003,037; in 1875 it had risen to $7,225,200, and in 1576 the esti- mate stood at $7,54,585. P o — -~ LETTERS FROY THE PEOPLE. A CONVALESCENT'S TIOME. 7o the Editor of The Tribune. CmIcAGo, July 15.—No one who passes slong our lake-front and sees the “Summer Cloud” moored in the basin, with its liberal awnings and decked with evergreens, can help a fecling of gratitude towards those of the medical pro- fession and other liberal-hearted people of Chi- cago who have devised and put in operation this grand and humane idea by which the sick and suffering little oncs can be taken out of the close, heated, and often foul air of their homes in the city, and given the benefit of the cool, invigorating, hcnlthfilving lake breeze. But I Lave for a long time felt that another institu- tion was nceded kindred in its object, and which for want of a beiter term I would designate as a Convalescents’ Home,—a large, roomy house, plainly but comfortably furnished, located in some suburb convenient to the city, open on all sides to air and sunlight, with wide verandahs (which could be inclosex with glass fn cold weather), large grounds, with a sufliciency of, but not too much, shade, with flowers and ornamental shrubbery, pure water, cows to supply fresh and puremilk, chickens for fresh eges, a reliable Christian horse, and easy two-seated carriage, It would be a comfortable but, not luxurious country home, to which there could be sent for a few days convalescents from hospitals, or from sick beds at home, needing more favorable conditions than they or their friends can supply, or sickly children, or overtaxed workingwomen. 1o whom a few days’ rest and change of scene would be like a foretaste of Heaven, and would give them a new lcase of life ana new courage to take up its burdens. It should be in charge of some kind, capable, eflicient woman, in whom the principle of motherhood is largely developed, and who would make it in reality a Home, and not simply a machine charity. It docsnot seem tome that sucha charity could be made what it ought tobeif organized and managed as ordinary charitable institu- tions are, viz.: by a Board of Managers who would raisc the money for its majnteuance by solicitation .from the public. _Besides, I think we already bave as many such charities deFendan upon public contributions as we are able to support, and that if therc were 2 con- solidation of some which are worling in similar lines there might be 2 large reduction of pres- ent working expenses withont any loss of efli- ciency or usefulness. To'be 2 complete success, such awork as I have indicated should be endowed by some one individual, who should be free to carry out his or her plans unhampered by any Board of Di- rectors, and independent of “benevolent contri- butions. Besides these, there are many persons of delicate, sensitive _disposition, needing _the benefit of just such 2 Home as I have sketched, who would be unwilling to avail themeelyes of it if put on the footing of 1 common charity. There are in'this, as in every other centre of wealth, men and women of large means bereft of dnil&.rgn or near relatives who have any claim upon their wealth, and who intend to devote it on their decease to charitable purposes. One by one the objects of their nflectflms and finter- csts have been taken away, till they arc left slone. Instead of waiting till their decease, and then leaving to others the carrying out of their plans with all the uncertamties of its being faithfully or wisely .done, how much betier it would” be for them to_be- come their own exccutors, and during their life- time establish and maintain under their own di- rection such a plan as I have sketched, which, as it seems to me, would be onc of the most beau- tiful, beneficent, and least objectionable forms of charity. It necd not be done on a large scale,—indeed it should be small enough to pre- serve fully the homefecling and influcnce. A house large enongh to entertain a dozen persons at a time would pass a large number through it in the course of the year, each averaging, say two weeks. At the present time there is hardly a suburb of Chicago in which l}])lm:cs admirably adapted to such a work, with large, pleasant grounds, could not be purchased for less than the bufldings have cost,—zay $6,000 or $7,000,— and its running expenscs, if wisely and prudent- 1y managed, need not exceed $4,000 a year. Is there not some oue who will read this arti- e who will be glad to engage insuch a work? ., 0. C. Gusss. BATHS, T the Editor of The Tribuns. CmIcaGo, July 15.—Having read with greatine terest in the columns of yourpaperthe letters of “‘Leander,” “Irene,” and *“ A Would-be Swim- mer,” in regard to bathing in the different pub- lic parks in this city, I would like to say some- thing in regard to this very important subject, and I fully indorse what they bave stated. Dar- this dreadfully warm weather the people of this city are constantly complaining, through the columns of your paper, of there being no proper accommodations for bathing purposes. I beg leave to call the attention of the Park Commissioners and the public to this very important subject. The expeuse is nothin, and all citizens living in_ the vidnity ith of the different parks would fully - indorse this. I have talked some of the Yend!ng citizens of this city, and they fully indorse my views on this subject. We, a5 tax-payers, pay men to look after and manage our parks. is it they cannot look after the bazhinq facilities as well? It is 2 shame that a city like Chicago, which is one of the largest and most important in the world, should not have suitable places for Dbathing as well as boating purposes. 1f this view were fully carried out, it is my impression that therc would be Jess bathers drowned-in the lake, the water in the parks not being of a very great depth, and the surroundings affording a more convenicnt place to render assistance if necessary, while in the lake, the water bcin§ very decp, bathers are very apt to get beyon their depth, and before assistrnce can be ren- dered are drowned. For tnis reason I think the parks would be the most proper places for bnnhinfi oses. The length of time to be allowed for bathing to be from 5 to 6 & m. and from 9to10 p. m.; nobody allowod to bathe -unless dressed in bathing-costume. Hoping this will meet with favor in the eyes of the Park Commissioners and the citizens of Chicago, Iremain very respectfully yours, - E, THAT $1,000,000 LOAN. Tv the Editor of The Tridune. CHICAGO, July 15.—No loan can be very popular in this or any other city whose smallest subscription is limited to sums of $500. The Finance Committec of the Council made a mistake when they placed this restriction upon the success and popularity of the Joan. Had they allowed small investors to come in and subseribe for sums of $25, $50, $100, and up- wards, and made the interest 7.30, there would have been a perfect rush for the million, which would have been absorbed within about thirty days. What if it did make a little more trouble and involve cxtra clerk-hire, would not the greater popularity of the loan have been an abundant compensation? From present appear- ances the loan Is likely to drag because confined to large investors, who, in times of panic, are the most timid class in the whole community. The United States Government mignt to-day have half of its-bonded _debt owned at home bad it adopted the French system of pop- ulsr subscriptions, and issued 4 per cent inter- est-bearing bonds of the denomination of $50, $25, and cven $10 each. These would have taken up and utilized the floating, idle capital in the hands of the masses. |So, too, our entire county and city debt might be funded in small bonds at low rate of interest and held at home by the people of the county. It is not too late for the Finance Committee to issue smaller bonds, aud then advertise, after the French plan, for subscriptions to, the loans, and they nced not be surprised to receive offers for sever- al times the amount required. M C. THE COOK COUNTY SAVINGS BANE. v the Editor of The Tribune. Cricaco, July 15.—During the last few days the depositors of the collapsed Cook County Savings Bank have evinced considerable interest in the doings of that institution, and have ex- pressed their sentiments touching the manage- ment of said baunk in language more forcible than elegant. As “may or may not be generally known, the pgreater portion of our Scandinavian fellow-citizens have been depositors in the late bank, and when its sus- ‘pension occurred, the chagrin, mortification, and consternation of those people knew no bounds. They at once set to work devisin ways and means of obtalning at leasta smnfi portion of their hard-gained carnings. A meet- ing was called, at which a committee selected from among the depositors, was appointed to examine into and ascertain the true state of affairs, The committee having the matter in charge have now finished their ardorous task and report the condition of the bank us follows: Totul amount of lndebteflne&sb $145,530.64; claims, now pending in Court, $125,000; bank- ing stock, $700; laim on the firm of Henry Ch:ws&do., New York, $3,803.56; probable claims on stockholders, 310,000; claim on an Albany firm, $15,000. Sum total, $154,580.56. ‘The'claim for the above mentioned $125,000, is, a5 stated, now pending, and it is believed judgment will not be rendered untfl some time in October. The claim for 315,000 from Albany is of a_very doubtful charocter, and can be reckoned for nought. The same maybe said of the claim on Clews & Co.. as the firm, as gone into bankruptey. a The Commitiee censure the Board of Direc- tors se\mmliy1 for having misused the confidence reposed in them by depositors, by allowing one of the officers of the ibstitution to use the greater part of the funds. ‘The Scandinayians have lost not alittle by this failure, and are very indignant at the turn things have taken. A meeting will be held by them Munda?' evening at the Scandinavian Workingmen's Hall, on Halsted strcet, ncar Chicago avenue, to which they cordially invite American and Irish depositors gol whom there were not a fow) to be present. Matters of dee interest will brought forward and I gfi opinion called for. Al PUBLIC SWIMMING BATHS. To the Edltor of The Tribune. Cricago, July 15.—I have read, with not a little anusement, your correspondents *Lean- der ™ and “ Irenc,” with reference to the.above subject. The idea of * barricading a portion of the lake shore” for the purpose of allowing people to bathe, in my opinion, would not be a practicable plan, but a useless waste of money; besides, it would be a resort for loungers and worse characters. Again, the water is not par- ticularly pure, and people of refined taste ob- ject to using water for domestic purposes in which so many bathe. A * Would- Be Swimmer"” says ‘‘that people remain unwashed,” etc. Now, as he appears to know little of our city, it may be useful in- formation to inform him that for 25 cents he can get washed in any part of the city,—as in almost every street there arc baths, The cost is trifling, and within the means of the meanest inhabitants. I fail to see reasons why our city authoritics should be called upon to take steps o this matter. They show common sense by not complying with such suggestions, and silent contempt is fitting treatment on their part. I ask you if it stands to common sensc that I am to be annoyed with a crowd in front of my dwelling, creating s disturbance, and degrading the morals of my daughters. If people are foolhardy enough, and s0 urgent to indulge in the “noble art,”let them sail far cnough from shore to be out of the range of op- cra-glasses. In conclusion, I would recommend the writers of those uscless letters not to waste pen, paper, and ink, not to speak of time, in composing such letters. I can assure you, I shall reply to no other communications on the subject. DaiLy READER. HALSYED STREET. 7o the Editor of The Tribune. CH1CAGO, July 15.—Allow me, through the columns of your paper, to call the attention of the property-holders of South Halsted street to a much-needed improvement. Last fall there was a prospect that we would have a street-car lineon this street, had not certain property owners, influented by owners of broken down horses and dilapidated, worn-out omnibuses, opposea the measure, and_threatened the rail- way company to enjoin them from laying the tracks. In what condition do we find the pavement of South Halsted street? Are the property-hold- ers aware that in _about one year it be in just the same condition as Canal strect, img’ns- Bsable for empty wagons in wet weather? The remedy I suggest is: Petition the West Division Railway Company to lay tracks on Halsted street, they bz‘i’n ‘then required by ordinance to repave that portion of the street between the tracks, which fs the greater portion of the street, and that part most subject to travel. The narrow strip on the outside of the tracks +will then be very little used, and can, by a little expense, be put” in a tolerably good condition, snd the whole will then be fit for use for ten years to come. ° If the owners are blind to this suggestion thiey will find that, In about one year, there will be no pavement left on Halsted street. The greater portion of the people will have no mon- ey and will not be willing to pa& for repairing. ‘here will be no money in the City Treasury to pay for paving the intersections; and Halsted sticet will be just as dead“and as little business done on it as on Canal street now. TAX-PAYER. SUBURBAN TRAVEL. To the Editor of The Tribune. PARE RGE, July 15.—The accommodations extended to suburbau travel on the Wisconsin Division of the Northwestern Road have never been what they should be, especiallyin the mat- ter of alate train from the city. Eventhese are now sadly curtailed, owing to a _recent change in the running of the traina. Hereto- fore there has been a train leaving the cityeyery evening at 10 p. m., swlgping at way stations. This train, the Green Bay express, now runs out on_the Milwaukee Division, leaving on the Wisconsin Division the St. Paul express, which leaves at 9:45 p.m., excent Saturdays, rbhe very day when a llnw tmén ]i:;\o:}: nz:kded n this eveniny e mus! ethe 28 Ry s 658 o nog dtall, T is sexious fo- convenience to the business men living in the suburbs, whose interests demand their presence in the city after that hour, while 211 on this line are thus totally debarred from attending places of amuscment on that evening. It would scem that it was only necessary to call the attention of the railroad officials to this matter to have it immediately remedied. As it is now, the change is seriously fclt, and isa severe blow to the mumerous prom- ising suburban villages on this division. It s suggested that the Desplaines accommodation train makeonemore trip daily, leaving Desplaincs about 6:30 p. m., and, returning, leave the city at11:15p. m, It is almost absolutely certain that it would be well patronized, snd the rail- road magnates are preyerfully besought to makc.thc cxperiment. M. R CORRECTION. Tv the Editor of The Tribune. Cnrcago, July 15.—Your item under * City- Hall " news, to the effect that work was sus- pended on the Milwaukee avenue viaduct by reason of my refusing to accept certificates as compensation, is erroneous. As the city neglected to pay me either in cer- tificates or cash for amount of work done, and 28 the laborers, masons, and _others, could not afford to work without pay, Iconcluded to stop the work till such time as T could, not without injlmz my men or loss to myself, fulfl my e 3 co} Now that the city has flvcn me certificates drawn against the levy of 1875 (not 1876) I have concluded to resume work at an early date. JAMES CADE. DEAD DOGS. To the Editor of The Tribune. CHICAGO, July 15.—1 wish to call the attention of the people to the fact that there isa dead dog on every street n the city. I would sug- est if the city cannot afford to carry away the dead dogs, that it stop buying the xmlson and meat, “which of course cost money,’’ and wait till it can afford to indulge in both of these lux- uries without causing any inconvenience to the public. G.H. W. ————— A Cholera Remedy. Brookiyn Argus. The hot season revives the necessity of having at hand a goad cholera mixture, and none has proved more effective than the one published years ago by the New York Sun. This_consists of equal parts of tincture of opium, red pepper, rhubarb, pepppermint;and camphor. It 1s o remedy for summer complaint, diarrhees, cramps in the bowels, and similar ailments, and affords almost instant relief. The dose is {from three to ten drops for a child, according to age, and ten to thirty drops for an adult, according to the severity of the attack. e —E— European capitalists as a general thing arc represented as very much down on the war feel- ing.
