6 THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY. AUGUST 20, 1876—SIXTEEN PAGES. REAL ESTATE. A Slight Increase of Business in the Loan Market. Prompt Payments Universally Reported by Agents. Some of the Most Important Loans Effected Improvernents on Wabash Avenue =eaLake View. LOANS. THE NUMBER OF NEGOTIATIONS that were brought to & happy completion the paat week were slightly in excess of those for the previous sevea days. The consideration represents a larger proportion of loans, but these averaged ony small amounts. Moncy Yoaners report the market dull. They were pre- pared for a moderate business, but the present situstion is one to which po language can do sustice. It would maturally be supposed that in $he plethora of mouey-seeking investment there would occur a weakening in the rate of intersst or commissions, but 6o far nothing of the kind has cropped tothe surface. Theidea enter- tained by the city and county authorities of cn- deavoring to levy a tax upon miortgages has by no means tended to soften the rates for money. Lenders, of course, regard the eodeavor with supreme contewpt, but at the same time it is in human nature to resent the attempt, and, as they feel they Liave been put on the defensive, they are rather inclined to insist still more sternly upon full rates. Very little of the money loaned on real estate is owned by Chicago capitalists. The parties who do the heaviest losning business are merely 2gents for Eastern or European moneyed institutions, such 28 insurance compavies and & Jimited liability companies.” They are beyond tne reach of city or county taxation. Tlere is no feature in the loan market which £ greater pleasure than the uniforin report by aments that payments are being promptly met. and that Chicugo stands in the fore front in this respect when compared with other citics. The releases in the tapular ststements tella good and encouraging story, and coufirm the Yeport. It must be owing to tnis fact that buing sent here continually for loan cnts. But there is alimit to Chicago’s to the product- power of lund, and -hence the over- inr us with money i the expectation vi the usual returns is as useless as overloading a farin with sced in the expectation of reaping 2 more than average crop.

The official records prepared by Mr. Roche, the Secretary of the Board of Asses: that over 1,590 new buildings have been erected within the city within the twelve months ending on the 1st of May last. The aggreate taxable valuation of these structurcs amounts to $3,- 742,100, exclusive of the ground they occups. As the asscssed valuation is little, if at all, over 50 per centum of the actual cost of the build- ings, it will be seen that the addition tothereal- estate of this city in the year is in excess of of city limits, sale: eent. 6.

Real estate agents atl report the market * flat, stale, and unprofitable.” The latter is specially true, for if they state facts as they are, their commissions would not pay rents, not to spealk of current and other expenses. There are very few transactions, and most of what do occur wre trades, and the prices named in-deeds are -30t & reliable standard by which one can farm 2 sorrect opinion of the condition of the market. And yet holders manifest no anxiety to realize on their property. Thisisabundantly proved by the tenacity they manifest in holding on to it. They remember other times as dull and un- prowising; and yet Chicago property has always rallied if owners oaly could manage to pay Laxes and keep it till business revived. This it is always sure to do. WABASH AVENUE. For the last week or two rumors bave been abroad of a mew and very heavy dry-wouds house being about to lowate in the Drake & Wilder Block, corner of Washington street and hash avenue. A, J. Averill, Esq., bas charge of locating the enterprise, and it is understood that arrangements are nearly completed that will meet the views of the firm in question. They are to be here during the week, when, if the plans are consummated, the public willlearn s1! the fucts in relation to this important addi- tion to the jobbing trade of the city. ‘The parties are said to have ample capital and abundant facilities to take rank at once with our Turrest and most successful houses. There has not yeurs been a better time for such a firm to ®tablish itself in the metropolisof the North- west. It shows that Eastern merchants appre- te the advice THE TRIBUNE has sv often given i, that if they mean to retaiu their trade must come to Chicago to do it. Let them now when trade is just about to revive, and the sooner-and the more surer will they be to achieve abundant success. MORE WABASH AVENUE STOTES. No sooner are Boyington’s new stores near Coneress strect showing their solid proportions on Wabash avenue, and the announcement that a pew millionaire dry-goods firm are to open in the Wilder eud Drake Blocks in October and January next, when notes of a large music Lall, in connection with a pianoforte manufac- tory, come greeting the pudiic ear, and in _con- mection with it there is to be a commodious gulesroom. We hear also of two new stores in the Palmer House Block just south of Mouroe street, on Wabach avenue, to be erected by Walter S. Williams, of Hartford, Conn., from plns snd_ studies of W. W. Eoyingz- ton and his son Homer, who arc to be the architects and superiutendents. From the architect we learn that the stores are to cov- er the entire lot, and to be five stories above the basement, with brown-stone frouts, two-siory plate-glass bay windows above the stores, and more than usual medern improvements, and to be among the prettiest and most attractive busi- ness-places on the avenue. Bids are offering for its erection and having party walls on the south and west with the Palmer House, and north with the Gates (late Ballard) Building, they hope 10 make quick work in_its crection, and to have it ready fur occupaney Nov. 1. Just kere comes word that the owner has received proposals for the upper stories and additionof a ** fire-proof " Mansard story from Potter Palmer, Esr).. of the Palmer House, for a five or ten years’ lease to accominodate his growing patronage, and to prive his guests « better outlook on Lake Michi- an. One of the buildings has already been foasea by Dr. Justin Hayes for five years. LAKE VIEW. Since the new Water-Works are supplying Lake View, vue of the fiuest of our suburbin towns, with the waters of the lake, the eyes of our heavy real estate men are turned towards jt. Mr. Potter Palmer, the successful operator in South Side property, has made Lake View his home gince epring, aud Mr. Samucl T. Walker, the West Side operator, has followed bis cxample, and is now alsoa resident of the same place. For the last twenty years, and up to this time, there has beea no stir in Lake View property, and our citizens have been blind to the real beauties of its groves, the fresh breczes of the Jake, and its bathing facilities. Instead of be- juer lined with handsome country residences iike tt:¢ islands of New York, and the mnear rbs of Boston, Baltimore, and Cin- ciuuati, there are very few of them &= that £tiip of beautiful residence property £7,500,000, not counting the lots uow put to e alterations and exten- sions of buildings, which can hardly fall to raise the total ageregateto $9,000,000. The statistics aughton, of the epartment, and which ‘have also ap- cared in the Eayle, show that the building usiness was more active during the last half of the current year than the first, from which it is fair to infer that a steady improvement is still golng on.As it is, a eréater addition has been made to the real wealth of Brooklyn tius year thap last, or in any one year, if we except the years of the speculative Dbegan in 1865 and ended in 1873 second Ward leads all the other wards in ageregate amount except the Seventh. In all probability houses lave been erected in advance of the demand for thiem, for money isplenty and readily obtainable- on adequate security.

Holders of productive real cstate have felt the inconvenience of tight times and reduced in- comes, but their property remuins, And in this city the future before it is more encouraging ‘Within two years at furthest we will have cheap, safe,and at all times certain communication with New York by means of the East River Bridge. This will bring all of Brook- Iyn as near to New York as the most favored section of our city now is.—Lrooklyn Eagle. NOTAL OWNERS OF REAL ESTATEIN NEW YORK.

The Experience of a Pittsburger in Siam— A Siamese Breakfust—Capturing the White Elephant. Correspondence Pittsburg Etening Chronici. U. S. STEAMER ASHUELOT, BANG KOK, S1AM, May 10, 1376. The busiuess which brought us here being now sbout finished, we were b ning to think of leaving, when we got an invita- tion that fairly startled us. Every year they have an elephant hunt, or drive rathier, and we were invited to attend one about to take place. To add additional eclat to the occasion, there was a white clephant in the drove, and that was of course the cause of great rejoicing. Fortunately 1 was one of the lucky ones who could go. There were six of us in all, the Captain and five of our mess. For nearly a year they had been collecting this drove from all the disbant provinces, driving them in a few atatime, and now they wercall collected at Aynthia,'a_place about” 60 miles up the river from Bang Kok. Our invitation came from the foreigu minister, aud he did_everything up for us in style, sent us a stemn lauuch, to tuw us, and do the cooking, etc., and what they call a house boat, with a'house built over about half of it, and very comfortable, indeed. We_took bedding and clothing, and that was all. Every- thing else was proviied for us. The minister also sent his interpreter with us. He was a Portuguese, a very pleasant fellow, wno added very much 1o our enjoyment. . Weleft the ship about daylight, and hada most delighttul trip up the river. The coun- try is rather monotonous, being very flat, but still there is quite enough variety to make it interesting, the endless variety of tropical foli- age coming down on the water, with occasional breaks with room enough for a temple or little village. About 9we stopped ata little tem- Ic and bad brealfast on shore, and 2 very good Erc:\kfast it was. We took our own boys, but they furnished cooks, ching, grub, wines in .abundance and variety, and everything clse MPyiecdssary. The cattlechere areregular butfalos, ‘and every once and awhile agreat drove of tliem would rush down the bank iuto the water and dashand splashin great glee. Another pleasing thing we saw was a murderer’s head stuck onapole by the water, asagentle re- muinder that you should not kill people. We had a mishap or two, just enough to add varie- ty. Ouce our launch broke down, but another one came along and picked us up. About noon the King passed us. He wasin a large, handsome barge, towed by a small steamer. About dark we got to the summer palace, o handsome new building a few miles below Aynthia. : Here our Jaunch overtobkus, and we went on. In about tifteen minutes we broke down again, but almost immediately another launch came up and took us on. Tie Kivg bad heard of our breaking down, und seut it after usin case it should happen again. Very thoughtful, wasn’t it? We got to Aynthia about Y, and were im- mediately taken possession of by the foreign minister’s son, and one of his oflicers, and they never left us while we were there always lovking out, and antivipating our very, wish. ~ I never was so well looked out for before in my life. The foreign winister was not there him- self, but the ex-regent took us under his wing, and kepta fatherly lookout forus. We aid not know exactly how ourmeals were to be pro- vided for us, but the first day settled all that. About daylight, before auy of us were up, the regent came alongside in & small boat to pay his respects. ‘We received him in panjamas, but he didn’t seem to mind that, and leit cotlee for us. (The coffee-pot was made of gold.} We were tied up alongsideof the bank, and about 9 o'clock a loug vrocession of his servants appeared, march- ing alone with our breakfast, everything being served in massive silver. The breakfast was covked in our style, and consisted of a dozen courses, everything being as niceas possible. Lunch was prepared on board our launch, and dinner came in the same swell style from the re- gent’s. That was the daily routine, and very Pleasant ive found it. The first day “was devoted to capturing the white elephant, nothing else being of sutlicient importance to touch on the same day. The per- formance was to commence uat 1, and we went up there about 12 to secure a good place, but, as usual, we found ourselves well looked out for. We were given splendid places, just below and in_front ot the King. A’ little before the hour the herd was driven in from the stockade, where they bad been confined, and a queer sight it was. They cameon atavery sedate puce, headed by 2 tame elephant, and surround- cd by about twenty other Jarge tame elephants, who had no difficulty at all in’ keeping the herd together. Each tame elephant had two riders, who scemed to have_the most perfect control over the beasts, jabbing them playfully in the head with a sharp iron hook when they wanted them to do anything. The drove was brought down immediately in front of where we sat. " We were about 15 or 20 feet above thewm, and the trained elephants, which are -used in the catchiny, were brought out. The elephant was taken by a high nobTe, who is second lord of the elephants. The wise men had been counsulted, aud the cxact minute at which it was proper to take the fellow ascertained, and all hands wait- cd patiently until the King gave the signal, and then he went for him. There were 185 ele- phants in the licrd (we counted them afterward), and it seemed almose impossible to pick out the one they wanted; but they spotted him instant- 1y, and hiad a rope around his leg in a very short time. The rider carries a coil of hide rope, in the end of hich is a loop, which they carry on the end of aloug bamboo. They rush up behind the one they wish to cateh,stick this loug bamboo down, aud, as he lifts nis hind leg to rushalong, slip the lvop over it, and the trained elephant instantly turns and walks away with a taut, so there is 1o danger of it_slipping, and then the end is thrown oif and allowed to drag. In the case of full-grown_elephants three or four ropes are nec: . They are jmmensely sirong, made of buffalo hide, but in the case of the white elephant one only was_necessary, us De was only about 3 years old and quite small. As soun as the ling whs fast to him they caught the end of it, and made it fast to 2 strong post, and theu the tame elephant closed in, and drove the herd off, leaving the poor little wreteh all alone. His mother broke from the herd and came back, tramping on the line and pulling at it with her trunk._trying to free him, but thcy soon drove her off and left bim alone in his glg- ry. Ie bellowed and snorted and stood on his licad, and did everything be could to break the line, but without cffect, and then they closed in on himand captured him. It took threc tame ones to do it, one butting him from be- Dbind. Themenon eachside pussed astrong collar around his neck, and then made it fast to other collars around the necks of their own ele- phants, and thus they had him. They brought himupin front of the King, and washed him nice and elean (the elephants keep themselves plastered from head to fout with mud to keep insects off), and_showed h Leautifully white he was. He really was rather a light brown, aud is said to be the whitest one they have caught in 100 years. Another good omen was tiat he wonld eat. Generally, they will not. touch foud for two or three days, but this fellow did not scem to mind it much. The King threw him bananas, which he ate very con- tentedly. After every oue had admired him suflicicutly he was led away to bis stable to be tamed, which would take two or_three months, aud then he will be taken to Bang Kok with great ceremony and rejoi ENTRE NOUS.

Business at the banks showed no new featare yesterday, with the exception that country custom- ers were a little more liberal in their offerings of Allcalls for legitimate pur- poses were freely met, and many more wonld have been cheerfully accepted. Holders of farm prod- ucts do not seem disposed to accept the present prices, and therefore hold on for better figures. To customers the bsnks still charge @10 per cent. The packers' banks take paper 2@3 ver cent below these figures, and 4@35 per cent is about the rate for short time on call loans with approved On the street almost nothing is doing, 2nd rates are nominal at 6 per cenl and upwards New York exchange is weak and drooping. The price has been gradually downviard during all the lutter haif of the week. On Saturday betweenbanks it was nominal at par; but some considerable sales were reported at 25 cents per $1,000 discount. The fact indicates larger shipments Eastward, and therefore, a premonitionof the near approach. of the fall business. The clearings for the week eading Aug. 19 were paper for disconnt.

More curt than courteous. Alot of 10,000 bu wheat was taken last Friday from the Union Elevator for shipment, and found 10 be in splendid condition. X A gentleman who made the trip from Cairo to Chicago last Friday, mostly by daylight, states that the corn all along the line is poor, but that the growth further west is reported good, and that a fine crop is growing in Mssissippl and other Southern States. Several letters from Northern Iowa give di couraging news with regard to the wheat crop in that section. They chronicle heavy rains for three or four days, with wheat in the shock and some on the sronnd umstacked, The yield is poor, some large farma giving only about 4 bu to the acre, bat the qualitvis good, ** what there is of it.” There are, however, plenty of hoge. The leading produce markets yere ngain quict on Saturday, and most of them were steady; though grain was easier, chiefly under the fact or prospect of larger receipte. There was little change in pro- visions. The shipping movement was light exceptin corn, and there was little except monotony in the course of trading, with nothing to break the same. The British markets were steadier. Business with dry-goods jobbers continues to improve, though aside from prints, worsted dress fabrics, shawls, and hosiery, thereis esyet no real activity. Silksare receiving increased attention owing to the advancing tendency of prices. The grocery market presented little that was new. There was a very fair movement both in staple and side articles, and previous prices were thoroughly sustained all 2round. Sugars, siraps, molasses, and coffecs were strong. There was a somewhat Armer market for imported dried fruits, trade hav- ing shown some little improvement .of late, but domestics remain inactive and nominal. No change wae apparent in the fish market, trade con- tinuing quiet at easy prices. The demand for but- ter was again active, and fully previous prices were being realized. Cheese was without much activity, and lacked firmness, The conl, wood, leather, bagging, and tobacco markets were nominally un- changed. Oils remaln quiet, carbon was again higher, other oils were without important change. The whoresale lumber market was aguin quict, only a few cargoes being on sule. The yard trade is improving, and prices are 1uling steady. Wool was firm under a continued fair inquiry, especially for fine _ ficeces, which are stronger in the _Eastern markets, ‘Cimothy seed was again lower, but active, at the decline, and other descriptions of secd were quict. Hops and hay were unchanged. Light hides were casier, there being less urgency in the demand, the rusn to fill ontside orders beinz about over. Green fruits werc abundant, and in fair request. Poultry sold at full recent prices, and frerh egzs were steady. Potatoes were quict and unchanged. Lake freights were dull and unchanged at 53%c for wheat to Kingston, and 1i4c_for corn to Buf- falo, with carriers asking 13(c. Ruil freights were quict, withont change in quotations, agents asking 20c to New York, 1Sc to Philadcl- phia, 17kc¢ to Baltimore, and 20c to Boston, er 100 1bs, and being willing to take considerably fese.

THE YALUE OF WIEAT. o ihe Editor of The Tribune. Citicago, Aug. 10.—All wheat trades for Sep- tember and October delivery, made upon the fluor of the Loard of Trade at the present time, are based upon wheat now in store in this city, and not upon comingarrivalsof new wheat. Such wheat as we now have in store—such a8 is now selling in this market at ubout 92¢ free on board, for delivery in September—is worth in New York market at the prescat time from 83@90c, and 85@90c s all that exporters, in the prosent situation of Eaglish markets, can afford to pay for this quality of grain. Now what I would like to have vou tell me is wherein lies the profit in buying wheat here at 92¢ frec on board which ig worth 85@$0c only in New York, ond also whether we can expect to maintain present prices (10@13c above scaboard values) after we commence receiving from 100. 000 to 200,000 per day, as we are likely to do the lat- ter part of next week. “Second—\Will you piense tell me what probability there is of England advancing her buying price ermancntly, with her present favorable crop safe- v secured in'good shape, and the world full of a choice quality of grain from which, at any time, to supply her every want? Question No. 3and I have done. In the fall of 1874 the price of good wheat averaged in this mar- ket from 85 to U3c. Wy should it average more the coming fall? The crop of the world is as large now ad then, and the quality no better. ReTIRED DEALER. PROVISIONS.
