Real Estate in Boston and New York--Miscellaneous. THE LOAN MARKET. RATES OF INTEREST WEAK. considering the times, the market was quite brisk the past week. There was noincréase fo the pumber of loans, but the average amount of was quite large. The weakness id! the rate of interest till continues, and 10 per cent ap- to be as rare a figure as 7 per cent was 3 short time ago. There arc some large loans 5t in negotiation, only awaiting the decision of principals as to the terms. Eastern capital- jts may as well understand that large amouats oo improaed property cannot be placed ata higher figure thin 7 per cent. A Boston capi- talist bas been here for some ‘weceks past for the p of investing money, and has succeeded in loaning over $200,000,on mortgages at 7 per cent- Population is pouring into the city at a more mpidrate than is eveh patent to actual resi- dents. -Buildings are no sooner completed than they are occupicd, the tenants for the most part peinz new comers. Notwithstanding the im- provements in progress, but very little money is porrowed for this glm_-mse, ‘parties being flush of money and using their own idle capital. Al reports, however, indicate that the money market is working towards stringency, and it an scarcely be expected that 7 per cent willlong be quoted a8 a rezuler rate for real-cstate loans. & There is 2 better feeling as regards payments, and eomplaints are few, the tabular. statcment below showing that releases are in excess of in- tumbrances.

Inthe eales reported below the condition of the real-estate market of this city is very fairly represented. They are not numerous, and the considerations paid -are proportioned to the present views of investors, mot the former dreams of speculators. The purchase by L. Z. Leiter of the building 199 and 201 Madison street, on the north side of the street and west of Fifth avenue, is & specimen of the class of Investments from which Chicago real estate has most to expect. This property hasa frontage of 5¢ feet, and was bought for 590,000 cash. The building is 2 new four story stone-front store, and is leased for three ears to Kindskopf, Barbe & Co., the prescnt tenants, at $10,000 8 year. The price of this purchase was determined by the income the vroperty would fiddl andthe consideration was, resumably, part of the profits of 2 profitable Ehiuagn ‘business. THE TRIBUNE has frequent- 1y pointed out that the real-estate intereats of Chivago depend much more closely for their support on the investments made by business men, making moncy bere, than on any speculative class, or sny migration hither of forvign capital. A resume of the most important purchases that have been made in this city since the panic will show nearly all of them to have been inade by our_leading and suceessful merchants. It was this class that built up New York, and that will give Chicago realty it most solid and en- during development. ‘Although operations in boulevard and park property have been restricted for a year or two pust, constant improvements are in ‘progress in the neighborhvoa of the magnificent system that surrounds the city. Qur readers are alrcady familiar with the development of the South Park., Fully as much has béen done on the West Sidz-a particularly in the neighbor- bood of Humboldt Park. Since last spring the aspect of thisresort hasbeen eutirely changed. A beantiful lake bas been. made, thousabds of trees and shrubs planted, and fine, well-made roads and paths laid out in every dirce- tion. Eighty acres have already been beautifiea® in this way, placing Hum- boldt Park a¢ the Lead of the West Side parks. The city has alresdy crept up along Milwaukee avenue, Division strect, and North avenue to within a very sbort distance of the park. The means of communjcation withthe park irom the central part of the city are very good, compris- Ing & street railway on North avenue. Division sreet is being rapidly lmproved, and by next will afford one of the bifi drives out of ':‘F:nome park system. Among other im- i ogress in_Humboldt Park is e ) Iandscape _ leatura the manufacture of 8 3 r not vouchsafed by Natare—a hil. This ittle mountain is_ to be thirty feet s of carth, bigh, and will contain 35,000 cubic yard: Ofl'u summit_an observatory will be erected, giving a total elevation of sixty feet, and ena- isiters to. look over the ity and out on the fake. The advantage to the present and fu. tare population of Chicego of it generots park and bonlevard system can be overesti- mated. In older cities, home or abroad, shaled strects, or near, roomy, well-planned parks are -the prerogative of the rich. But persons of the . Most moderate means can secure 3 bomestead site ona Chicago boulevard or park.

Cmicago, Oct. 7.—For several years, and especially during the past season, the streets 26,400 Jeading to the South Parks have been in sucha | that the Hon. David Laird, Minister of the In- bad condition as to detract greatly from the pleasure of the drive and sensibly lessen the number of vehicles. This seems the more unreasonable because the great burden af the expense of the purchase | of the park property and its improvement has been borne by the citizens of thc South Side. Of the first $300,000 paid in, the Towns of Lake and Hyde Park contributed only $30,000, or 10 . per cent, the balance having come from ‘city property-owners. o thatit is not gimply a question of expediency, but a right to which the people are entitled, and which they should ex- ercise without delay. - The improvement by the Park Commission- ers of any one of theimportant avenues leading to the boulevards (which by them and the property-owners might- be agrecd upon) could not but very materially and favorably affect the value of the pruperl."lxlmlg such strect. The natural approach to the park seems to be by the way of Michigan avenue to Thirty-fitth street, thence east to_the Grand Parkway; but Prairie avenae from Sixteenth, or Calumet ave- pue from Twenticth, yr South Park aveuue- from Twenty-second, could be made available for the purpose. The great advantage to property-owners would be that the expeuse of sucn improvement would come mainly. if not wholly, from the general fund, and not by & particular s%-dal assessment upon the propertm{y bencfited. While the improvement of the road- way of the avenue sclected would be the first necessity. a general plan of uuiform trees, sidewalks, ete., could be eutertained afd put into process of completion 6o fast 1s the wishes of the property-owners aud the ability of the Park Commissiouers wowld permit. Inan arrangement of this character, it would per- haps be necessary to give to the Commissioners tle police surveillance of the avenue selected, in so far as the disuse of the strect by heavy teams is concerned, save in such cases as the particular needs of residents thercon might re- uire. ks ‘I'ie distance from the thickly-settled portion of the city of the parks; and tie main depend- Cace upon strect-cars of those not able to usc private conveyances, has kept the mass of our people in ignorance of the vast amount of work which hLas alrcady been donme, and consequently has deprived them of the enjoy- ment_whicn_the enterprise was lntended i afford; but it can readily be se¢n that the con- trol of the avenue connéeting with the boule- vard would epable the Park Commisstrers to place their pbactons at the dispusal of the resi- dents of the city without inconvenicnce to them, and, if the entire_tour of ,the parks could be umle in these delightful conveyances at an ex- pense of not more than twenty-five cents for each passenger, the. real benefit of the entire enterprise could be more easily secured. ‘T'be barmony of the entire scheme lald, out in the organization of this work would be reached if, in the event of the ercction of a Union Depot on the ground which the Com- mon Council has recently dedded to seliy Michizan avenue, commencing at Monroe, should be made tlie grest artery leading to the parks. 1t needs no stretch of the imagination 10 picture the result which would follow the dedication of this thoroughfara.to that purpose, with an elegant driveway, and ult nately 8 s{rs— tem of improvements in uison with the entire scope of this park euterprise. The matter is within immediate reach. If Michigan avenue was tobe used as indicated, next spring would see the street available and in fine condition; if the other avenues named were selccted, more time would perbaps be required. Tie Initial steps would neeessarily be taken by property- owners. While it is 8 matterwhich comes prop- erly within the province and duty of the South Park ~Commission, yet the work which they have alrcady commenced would doubtless keep ull of their available re- sources employed for years tocowe. Itis, how- ever, but fair Lo suppuse, from the liberal and enterprising spirit which they have thus far shown, that they would not ouly appreciate both the gecessity and feasibility of such 2 work, but would 21so heartily co-opcrate with the City Government, OF With Property-owners, fa any request made upon them lhaving this ob- ject in view. W.0.C. MISCELLANEOUS. BUILDING IN NEW YORE. The New York Pvening Post says: 1t is evident from the number of new bulldings erected in New York, and the plans and specifica- tions filed witn the Department of Buildings during the years 1574 and 1575, and for eight months of the present year, that the ‘aepression n real cstate is gradnally disappeorinz. From & statemeut re- cently furniehed from the office of the Department of Bildings, the estimated cost of new buildings ‘was in ronnd numbers about_ $22,000,000 in 1873, 317,000,000 in 1574, and $18,000,000 in 1875, $or the present yeur the atatement of plans filed Tepresents in round numbers the sum of $12, 000, - 000, ‘This sum represents two-thirde of the year, and equais in proportion the grand total of las year. BOSTON REAL ESTATE. * Oce of the prominent facts in connection with the depression of the times is the vast shrink- age in the value of a unim] ed. In the City of Boston, for in- ::nanm-_ prx?;flesme valuation for the Dresent -done so much for Chicago, even real estate, both improved | year, gs appears by the Assessors’ estimates, is over’ sg?é’,mo,ooom @ totsl valuation. of not quite $749,000,000. This indicates a falling off of about § per cent from the real-estate - esti- -mates of last \year, or, in near); = 000,000. 1n the oplnion- of men 'best xd;ufid in real-estate matters, the bottom has been reached in this decline, and they think they al- ready notice a little better demand for property torent or to buy for residence or investment. ‘There is an abundance of money to be-found to let on mortgage at from 5t0 7 per cent to the amount of 50 to 60 per cent on the present re- duced valuation. Real estate at existing figures, * and with tht margin mentioned, is’ pronounced to be as safe securities as can be found.—Boston Journal of Commerce. NEW YORK REAL ESTATE. A rather more hopeful view of the future, while saying nothing about the present condi- tion, is, about all that van be written of the tone of the real-cstate market at present.

L —————— ALDRICH'S OPPONENT. To the Editor of The Tridune. Caicaso, Oct. 7.—It was a natural inquiry upon the partof even old residents of Chicago, when the mominee who is to oppose Mr. Aldrich was chosen a week 8go, to inguire, *‘Who's Hoxie?" Certainly, conssdering that John R. ‘Hoxie has been a residentof this city for mearly twenty years, growing with its growth and sharing in its prosper- ity, and connected, especially of later years, with eome of its heaviest commercial and indastrial in- tecests, he was singularly noknown to the great bulk of residents. This isaptto be the case with men who have given thelr time closely to their buainess and haveinixed little in the active work c: ntllpluvllig; :njoyed an acquaintance with 3ir.

But now he isspeken of 23 an asso- s ate of bummers and thieves. This is indced news to his old friendsand business associates, who have for years held his acquaintance an honor, Mr. Hoxle is a pative of Wayne County, N. Y., and is the descendant of Quakers. Rather prond of the homely religions tenects he has inherited, he ls]}'cf the least bigoted of men, and several of the religions socicties of the southern portion of the city, particularly a number of struggling Catholic churches, are glad to bear testimony to the liheral- ity of his efforts in their behalf. Tt is said that to various religious and_eleemosynary inatitutions in this city he has given in the aggregate as many thousand doliars as he has. been here years. No one has been more open-handed in the charities of his immediate neighborhood than Mr. Hoxie. Tmmediately upon coming to Chicago, eighteen ears ago, he connecled himeelf with the live stock Interest, from which he has never been divorced, tnongh he has considerably enlarged the fleld of his commercial enterprise. He was the live stock agent of the Michigan Southern & Lake Shore Rail- road, & position which; nominally at least, he holds to this day. He prospéred, investing his’ earllest savings in Michigan Southern and other railroad stocks. He was long domiciled at the corner of Sm!xnd Twenty-second strects, as residents of the old Third Ward, especially the Democrats thereof, will not fall to remember. When THE WAR OF THE REBELLION broke out he was an srdent War Democrat, and, it is said, remembers vividly the precise location of Camp Douglas, —a recollection which his rival for the honors of the Democratic Convention did not possess at a critical moment. He was always the friend of soldiers with whom he came in contact, and took a lively interest in the War. In 1862-'63 he was enabled to invest largely in railroad stock, and at the same time made some judicious purchases of real estate, from which he realized handsomely. Besides considerable im- proved realty in the city, he has an elegant man- sion on Michigan avenue in Hyde Park, “where he dispenses hospitality with whole-souled freedom. i HIS_PUBLIC SERVICES ‘have been bricf. He served one year as a Trustee in the Town of Lake; another as President of the Board of Trustecs of Hyde Park. To the latter Board he was chogen by a.unanimous vote, al- thongh there were two separate and distinct tick- cts in‘the fleld, save as to Lis candidature common to both. His fixed interests were known to be so arge, and he was s implicltly trusted by his fel- low-villagers, that withonthis contrivance he was placed on both tickets. Inalong ond active commercial career he has never had a difference with business men which re- quircd the arbitrament of the conrts, and he pos- sesses the most unbounded confidence and good will of all with whom he has ever transacted busi- nese. Can many business men of equal expori- | a8 mucl oxie is of medinm stature, and wiry, well- knit frame. His clean-shaven face & frank in its expression, His forehead is full and rounded. In manner he Is easy and unaffected, He says little, and probably never made a set speech in all his life, but what he has to say is gencraliy to the point. During the year he served as President of the Board of Trustees of the Villaze of Hyde Park he snid less and accomplised more than all his asso- ciates. Hels ence . Mr. A RAPID THINKER, and quick to act, and what he undertakes he usu- ally accomplishes. His fricnds do not claim that if chosen to Congress he would make a brilliant speech-making member, but they do assert that asa. shrewd, active man, posscssed of executive force, and conspicnous for hard common sense, he will Tave the influence necersary to obtain for the dis- trict the appropriations which should be hers. e will let the fancy work go while he labors to secure for public works the money which the prescat del- egation from this city failéd ntterly to obtain. Mr. Hoxie's strong characteristica are unerring julguent, INDOMITABLE PLUCK and persistence, industry that never tires, courage that never faltcrs, and native force and acumen \which carry all hig projects to success. Af o _his Integrity, that is unguestioned. This1s the man the Démocratic party is proud to supportin the First District of Illinois. Mr. Hoxie is not by any ‘means the abandoned character his political rivals would make him out to be. A DEMOCRAT. * 0 MARRIAGE. GUENTIER_RUNE—Sopt. 30, at, Tompkins- ville, Staten Island, N.

Wm, E. Waite having been snggested for the responsible office of Recorder of Deeds of Cook County, we desire to thus formaily submit his name o your favorable consideration, sincerely believing that his carcer as a citizen, a soldler, a1« an ofticer of the Government, warrants the concla- sion that his nominativn and election will signally promote that true reform which is a necessity of the times. To his more {ntimate acquaintances the record of Maj. Waite is substantially as follows: A citizen of Chicago nearly thirty years, he has never been before the People sccking ofiice. His competency is vouched for and guaranteed by those with whom he has been brought in «busincss con- tact through a serics of years” in which he has held positions of trust and confidence.. At the outbreak of thie Rebeliion in %1881 Mr. Waite sbandoncd a lucrative business, and was maicly instramental in raising one of the first two compunies of infantry mustered into the service from thia city, which made up the Twelfth (Gen. McArthur's) Regiment of Illinols Volunteers, of one of which companies he became the Captain. He served with gallantry and distinction through- out the War; was promated for meritorious ser- vices, and secured "the respect and confidence of his superior officers, many of wifam are at this time honored and distinguished residents of this city. Since the close of the War, as an officer, of In- ternal Revenue, he bas been faithful améng the foithless, honest where nearly all were corrupt; Dis being one of the two names of Revenue-Store- kecpers which Tue Cuicaao TRInUNE declared shonld be written in letters of gold. Fearlessly exposing an atiempt to bribe him into the Whisky- Ring, the Ring ofiicers of the Government sus- pended Maj. Waite and kept him unemployed for more than elghteen months, in consequence of, which, aud to maintaintiimself and family, he was compelled to sutfer the loss of his homestead by foreclosure, while the dishoneat Storckeepers were enjoyiny the beneflits of salary and the spoils of their stealings. This_treatment beln% well known, one of the firat official acts of the lnmented Webster was to nddress the Major o letter of approval and recall him to his position. / Such is the man and his record, fetlow-citizens, that we desire to be intrasted with the reeponsiblo ofiice of Recarder of Deeds, and we call npon those citizens who may become delogatesto the Re- publican County Convention to give due weight and constderation to the claims of ‘an honest man and deserving patriot, promising that if they will place him in_nomwation the_people will indorse thelr choice by & rousing mnjorit‘i'!ut the polls.
