THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1876—SIXTEEN PAGES REAL ESTATE. Continued Lack of Life in the Loan Market. Plenty of Money but Very Few Borrowers. The Additions to Chicago’s Heavy Business Firms. An Immense Carriage-Building _Establishment Coming. The Market in the Cities of New York and San Praucisco. LOANS. - TOE TOTAL FIGGRES OF THE BUSINESS FOR THE MONTH last past show a falling-off of nearly §50,000,- 000 as compared with August, 1875. The latter date, however, was peculiarly favored with sev- eral large railroad mortgages, amounting in the aggregate to $49,000,000. Leaving these out of the question, the discrepancy between the two months is not 50 very great. As time rolls on, the figures of the year's business are receding further and further from those of the previous years, with but _little expectation of recovering the lost ground under the most favorable cir- cumstances. Incommon withall other branches of the real-estate business, there is no briskness in the Joan market. A sufficient number-of loans are ncgotiated to keep the faculties of agents from Tusting. There is mo material cliange in rates, and, although now and then 2 very low rate of interest appears on the papers, still as a general thing agents are wedded to 8 and 9 per cent. * MOKEY 15 PLENTIFCL 5 and more is being constantly added. Some of this money was originally sent here for the pur- chase of business locations, but, finding nothing of the kind for sale, the principalsdirected their agents to invest it in loans, but even this last resource turned out 1o be impracticable. No one needed large sums on mortgage on fix:st— class business property. Property of this kind has mostly got into strong hands; able to hold it without any assistance, who have sufficient confidence in the future of Chicago to kee) what they have, a8 2 good investment, whicl will be better than money in Laud at a time not far distant. The Joaning business shows a larger falling-off than do the actual transfers. A com- parison of 1575 with 1374 shows a decrease of one-sixth in the number of trust-decds and mortgages filed for record, and, comparing 1876 with 1575, a decrease of onc-fifth is discovered in the same line of instruments, 5o that the movement in the loan market is one-third Ises tnan it was two years ao, with a gradual di- minishing_tendenéy. In the matter of actual transfers, the business has not diminished by more than ope-sixth in comparison with 1874 Choice husiness property does not move, but there is etill & slight movement in park, boule- vard, and suburvan_lots, a brisk demand for w! is what is nceded to give vitality to the market. Small and numerous_sales are the life of the realestate agent. It is not the movement in property worth thousands, but the movement in lots worth hundreds, that gives an impetus to the landed interest. In the im- provement of the condition of men of moderate 1neans lies the hope of improvement in the gen- eal-estate market. RECENT LOANS. The following loans were negotiated the past week: (1) State street, 100 feet west front, southeast corner of Washington street, $175,000, five years at 7 per cent. ) Twelfth street, 115 feet north front, and Newberry street 115 fect west front, $12,000, five Feare at ¥ per cent. . «i5) Meagher street, 50 feet sonth front, 100 feet eaet of Canal sreet, $10,000, two years at 10 per cent. «+) West Lake street, GO feet north frovt, be- 4 Desplaines and Union strects, $8,000, five < a1 8 per cent. ) Dlock 2 Assessors' Division of X. E. 3% of c. 8, 39, 14, intersection of Chciago and Mil- waukee avenues. §10.000, five years at 7 per cent. Thix perhaps is the most remarkable loan of the week, when the smallness of the amount and the low rate of interest are considered.

STILL DULL, BUT MORR HOPEFUL. There was scarcely aoy yeal change fn the real-estate market of the city generally during the past week. Duyers and sellers seem to be yet far apart in their views, and there is no im- mediate prospect of change for the better. All zood property is held firmly, and in this regard there is a more hopeful fecling. The most con- servative men agree that prices of real estate and business generally have touched bottom; but some still think they must ‘‘DRAG ALONG OX THE BOTTOM "' for some thme to come. It is now three years since the panic of 1873 struck the country,—or, rather, it will be in a week or two,—and past ex- perience shows this tobe about the limit of stag- nation after a panic. Heretofore the country Las begun gradually to recover its wonted sctivity after that time; but in some cases, notably after the crash of 1837. the recovery was slow, running through several years beforea good degree of activity was infused into all the departments of trade. The vast chapge which Las been made in the last thirty years in cur means of transit and in gathering news Qaily from ll parts of the world in regard to the condition and the course of the markets will undoubtediy have a marked effect in BESTORING CONFIDENCE snd inaugurating a new era of prosperity and Prograss.. Its coming in business circies all over the country is plainly manifest, and that it will reach real.estute values before many months have passed s confidently believed by all lusses of operators. TOE NEW FIRMS. . The addition of two beavy firms from New Yo od still another hereafter noticed—to the jobbing trade of thé city, and the certainty that many others must soun come, continues 10 be the topic of converzation in Chicago busi- ness circles. This recognition of the command- inyr commereial position of our city hss had a 110st favorable effect all over the country. The New Yorkers use all the philosophy they can command in regard to it, and treat it in a mat- ter-of-course kind of & way, and try to make themselves believe that this removal to the cen- tral ¢ty of the continent cannot seriously affect their tFade one way or the other. The Bulletin, the shrewdest journal in that city, in an artide wpon the subject, say: Markets natarally nove towards the consumers. eepecially when the distances separating them are +0 great 28 to involve an important sacrifice of time #nd expense in intercourse between the buyers and the sellers. A Jocal market has the advantage of atlording the retailere frequent opportunities cf making personal selections of etock, which it much rrc!: rable to ordering from a distant market or to huving cven from travelers' sampies. And the Joblber who s situated near to his customers bsga Very important advantaze inscrutinizing his credits and in making his collections over one who is gep- arated from them by several hundreds of miles. Advantages of ths character make it inevitable that cities situated s«, for instance, Chicago is, should become centres for distnbation to the retsil trade; and, of course, it it 10 be espected that durinis the period when guch cities are acquiring that position, there should be a gradnal transfer of the jobbing trade from older and remote centres of business. 5 In avother articdeit adds that it will increase competition aud draw more trade to the “5, ne-of the smaller Western merchants B S the viathan [Stewart & Co.] was coming out there to swallow them all up, never refiecting that this is too vast a country to be monopolized or ¢ gobbled up?’ by anything or an body. There is room enough for all, though of course as the philowphsrs would put it, only *the fittest will survive.” * While what was above said in regard to the dullness of the real estate market generally in the city is strictly true, the coming of Stewart & Co.and Burlock & Co., and theirlocation on WABASH AVENUE, has turned attention rather actively to that splendid thoroughfare: The sale of 50 feet by A. J. Averell on this avenue, now occupied by the Nevada Hotel, and before the fire was the residence of L. P: Hilliard, Esq., fo1 $S00 per front foot cash, could not have been effected a ‘month ago. Another sale _is reported on the street in which $500 cash advance was_realized on what the property was held at for many months past. And now THE TRIBUNE has to record that 5 AN 1SIMENSE CARRIAGE ESTABLISHMENT fromthe East will be opened on Wabash avenue as soon as the building can be put np for it. Messrs. Farrington & Hackney, agents for D. W. Irwin & Co., have leased the 40 feet immediately south of B. P. Hutchins build- ing on the corner of Wabash avenue and Har- rison street, and the fine structure to be built on it by the Hon. C. P. Kimball, of New York. He is at present Commissioner.for New York at the Centennial Exposition, and as soon as that closes he expects to remove to this city with his family. Besides manufacturing here, Mr. Kim- ball will have the exclusive salcof carriages and other vehicles from the great house of Brewster & Co., of New York, and of Killam & Co., and Manville & Co. It is expected that Mr. Kim- ball’s establishment will be one of the largest {n the country. THUS THEY COME. Claflin & Co., it is your turn next, and indeed it is Teported that an” egent of the house has ‘been here, and that important developments in relation to their movements will soon be made. ‘A Philadelphia paper well remarks that the movement of Stewart & Co. and the other great houses is the first convincing,tangible fact ghowing the decentalization of the wholesale trade. New York caunot possibly. hold it much longer. It omits to say, what a quarter of a century will rove, that the jobbing trade for the vast and immensely productive country tributary to Chi- cago will find its centralization here. This is as certain to be true as anything in the future can be. TWENTY-SECOND STREET. To the Editor of The Tribune. CmicaGo, Sept. 2.—1 wish to call the atten- tion of the property-owners on Twenty-second street to tg fact” that they are losing, if they have not already lost, the last and best oppor- tunity that they will have of making it one of the finest -business streets in Chicago, not ex- cepting even the prominent thoroughfares “down-town.” And first let me say that I am not directly or indirectly interested in any land in that vicinity, except as every citizen of Chi- cago is interested. Messrs. Ulrich & Muhlke, as is well known, own some sixty or cighty acres bounded by State and Twenty-sccond strects. They have rccently cleared off the property, torn down and removed the hotcl, and subdivided the entire tract. and are about commencing to make permanent jmprovements of the best kind. They have offered to donate A strip 20 feet wide, commencing n‘ the corner of State and Twenty-second streets and running west the entire leogth of the property, exteuding some distance west of the railroad, provided the property-owners on the opposite side of the street, and on the corner of State and Twenty-second streets will putin the water-pipe and sewer-connections (the main pipe and_sewer are alrcady laid) and ave the strect. The raflroad company prom- ses, if this is done, they will build a first-class passenger depot, covering the track. All the small property-owners have offered to contribs uie more than their proportion to make that fine improvement, but a few large property- holders, owning very expensive corner lots, and being capitalists besides, refuse to do auything like their sbare, and apparently are entirely willing that owners of single lots should pay for their benefit. This proposition has bgen open for weeks, and thoroughly canvassed, and, on account of the littlcness of these rich corner-lot owners, the‘l:rujert was to-day aban- doned. This is too bad; it ought not so to be. Cannot you, throuch your columns, so stir up such a fecling in regurd to this matter that the grand improvement may yet be m:uomcplished! ITIZEN. SALES.

He reports us much inquiry for houses as he bas ever had since the first start ‘of the town,—ten years ago,— mostly from persons who want places worth from $1,000 to §4,000, and to pay for the same in pay- ments of $20 to #100 per month at cost.

The Real-Estate Jeecord talks encouragingly of the outlook. It says: As yet the market, neither outside nor inside of the Exchange. shows a #ign of revival, but indica- tions abound that we have reached the beginning of the end. We now have tangible evidence that business is growinz better generally. Heretpfore it was mere talk, hope of better times coming; now the merchants of New York have the facts before their eyes. Of course, as yet it is the larger man- ufacturing and heavy wholeselo trade. Smaller houses -will fecl it in a few weeks, and the natural tendency is always to spread gradually through the various industrics of the city. Wehave reached only the first grade, bat it has been reached; the beginning of better times is right here now, and real estate always enhances in value after Now York merchants have made money. To show that we do not apeak at random, we give the following important fact upon the aathority of the honse itself, whose name is a_tower of strenzth among home manufacturers. That honee, the largest dry- goods commission house in New York, has eold more goods during the month of Aungust now just expired than during any previous Augast since the organizatic f the house. There never have been 60 many heavy buyers here from the far West and far.South as during this month of August. Wheth- eratiracted hitherward by the Centennial Exhibi- tion, or driven by low gtocks at home, the fact re- mains that they have bonght zoods heavily, and, when the dry-goods trade begins to flourish, other trades will soon follow. SAN FRANCISCO. The Bulletin of the 2th says of real estate in that city: b Inlatter years the real-estate interest hasbe- come the leading element of =peculation and busi- ness activity in San Francisco, and opetied an un- limited field for the secure and prolitabic invest- ment of capital. In no other city in the world, ot even excepting the pretentious rivals on the Eestern Slope, Chicago and St. Louis, have for- tunes invested in real estate augmented at such a rapid ratio, and _small capitals judiciously placed advanced 80 surely and specdily to the magnitude of anindependency. A lgree proportion of the indi- vidunl wealth of the city has been developed by the iu:nd{ auvance in real-estate valnes. Thou- sands gifted with calcnlating foresight have tained to sudden opulence by taking advantage of the periqds of temporary depression that have oc- curred betimes from ~ various causes, more purticnlarly the intrigucs of speculators and monopolists in creating unfounded appre- henston for the furtherance of their own =elfish ends; while others have had fortune thrust upon them through sheer indifference in remain- ing supinely idle in the possession of property ac- quired at some former period by investments rang- ing at comparatively little more than the price of a dog. The time when fictitious influences or bug- Dear theories promulgated to order could have any material effect on general property values in San Francisco has now departed; but the opportunities for splenaid investmentsand promising specula- tion in real estate are still present, and were never brighter or more advantagcous, In trath the field is vearly enlargingata muitiplied ratio, as the city steadily extends the renge of ita circum. ference; and the advance of real estate must co: tinue indelinitely, as safely assured as the succes- sionof seed time and harvéat. No other expecta- tion_could ressonably be cntertained in viewing San Francisco to-day in the mere inception of its greatness, and contemplating its inevitable destiny as a chief centre of commerce and financial power and one of tho most populons cities of the earth in the neur futare. . PR HUMOR. « A prudent man,” says a witty Frenchman, ¢ 1ig like a pin; his head prevents him from go- ing too far.” The family-trce of a Texas family shows a branch on which scveral members have been hung for borrowing horses. The candidate who was “ in the hands of his {riends * was taken home safely. They pulled off his boots and put him in bc\iy. There is a growing conviction in the minds of smokers that a vest-pocket should be made deep enough to cntirely hide a cigar from the scrutinizing gaze of the man who never has any. A Parts snob met a Bohemian friend on the street, running. “Hullo! Why are you run- ning so fast#”" “Let me alone; there are holes in m);,shoes, andIrun so that they shan’t be seen. Here is a model verdict of a Coroner's jury : “1WWe do believe, after due inquiries and accord- ing to our best knowledge, that we do not know how, when, and where said infant came to its death.” It has been demonstrated that a balloon- ist cannot drink from a_jug after rising above the clouds.” And now a Kentucky editor won't 20 up until he is permitted to fill himself up to the chin before starting. Some day in the distant future:the little negre in the bharber’s-shop who silently holds out his hand for 10 cents for striking a man's nose with his brush-broom will be laid away to rest, aud catnip planted to hide the spot.
