If the ‘present pagsein the severity of the winter could be safely considered the harbinger of an early sprine, business in real estate would rapidly i prora #ince building and the purchase of sites ‘would begin early. “There are no valid signs as yet, however, of a substantial recovery of the dormant energies of teal estate.

The de- wmand for cheap houses, renting from $25 to §0 a month, has improved-in the last two or three vyears, as that of- higher riced dwellings has fallen away, The future with regard to business rents is still more dubious. Choice locations will com- mand choice tenants and good rents. but on the average there seems little reason to expect even that rents will remain where they'are. The times are hard, busiuess has been quiet, and the value of real estate and the cost. of building have declined. These are the causes that usual- Iy produce a decline in rents. Although there is Do over-sipply of stores, there is no such keen competition among tenants as might counteract the tendencies to a fall in rents. RENTS IN NEW YORK. & A large real-estate dealer in New York gives it as his opinion, in an interview with a reporter of the New York Herald, that there must be a general reduction of rents: Dnsiness men, he says, are everywhere losing monev, and cannot continue to pay the present prices 80 long &s times remain as they are. fe be- lieves that onc-third of the tenanis of business houses are in arrears now for reat, and that many of them will 20 out of business rather than stand the strain of another year. Mr. Stevenson mentioned in- stances where moncy bad been. spent improving good store property in the best partof the Bowery, and for which it wis next to impossible to ind ten- ants. The better class of private residences. too, in the most desirable parts of the city, were bring- ing very poor rent. As an instance, he quoted one case ofa house for which £3,000 per annum was ssked, and which wus finslly leased for $1,000. A revival'of business, Mr. Stevenson says, is the only thing which will check the downward tenden- ¢y which now exists, and will until merchants ind 1t protitable to remain in the business. ¥ REAL ESTATE IN NEW YORK. The transactions at the Exchanae during the week were without notable incident. All the sales were of a judicial character, and the vol- ume of business has not incressed. There is no uestion, however, that since the settlement of the complications attendant upon the late Presi- dential election, a better fecling prevails in the public mind, and we look with confidence to & permanent recovery in real estate, - Daring the monih of January the number of foreclosure suits commenced "in the City of New York was 218, sgainst 199 for the corre- &ponding month of 1876.

The butcher-birds are killing off the English sparrows jmported into New England, and a writerin the Springficld (Mass.) Republican thinks it isa good thing. The butcher-bird is the most Industrious and successful mouse-catcher that weafs feathers, and his war on the sparrow re- sults from his inability to find other food. “Before the advent of the sparrow ‘?ent," says the Hepublican writer, *“Sprin , with its many trees, was in the summe: ¢ home of hundreds of oar best and most musleal birds. Robins, blue-birds, orioles, martins, the little brown wren, with other Insect-caters and fly- catehers, populated the lawns aud shrubbery of our homes. They are zone,—driven out by this nguacious light-weizht fishter from England. g‘he English spurrow is already a pest In En- gland and Germany, and is treated as such, and will soun be accounted such here. He s already condemned by our naturalists in our sporting papers, and, Wwith his great capacity for breeding and fighting, we must bid our sweet singers 00d-by, unless we protect them by keeping own the sparrows. ALBERONT'S SALT-CEi;LARS. Cardinal Alberont bad a large quantity of sil- ver plate, and among other articles he possessed varions salt-cellars, wrought in the form of dif- ferent auimals. A friend of his, borrowed s salt-cellar made in the shape of a tiger, but for- got to return it for some time. At length, after the lupse of some six or seyen months, he sent it back, requesting at the same time the loan of another in the shape of a tortolse. The Cardinal desired to'sec the person who had brought the wmessage. “Youaresent.”said be, “by the Signor to burrow one of my salt-vellars?”? ‘* Yes, your Eminence; I am his steward.” Youwill be Zood enough to to tell your master that I lent him one in the form of @ tizer, wnich is one of the swiftest animals on the earth, and it has been more than six months In returning; were I to lend him the tortoise, which is the slowest of animals, I fear it would never neturn.” VERS DE SOCIETE.

Among the visitors to the shrine of Genevieve, the patron saint of Paris, were two youths, who have been taken into custody by the police for practices which no doubt imply fanatfeal ssceti- cism. They have been obscrved during the time of the devotions actively engaged in the oceupation of relieving the pockets of the faith- ful of their purses and_handkerchiefs.- The young pilgrims confessed that their objects Were to sccure as much booty as they could in the manner I have mentioned, then to remain in the church. after the others had left. and break open the collection-hox, into - which they Lhad seen a number of valuable coins drop. WACHTEL AND FISK. Washington Capital. Wachtel, the tenor, has -several rooms in his louse in Germany devoted to American pictures. Guess what is represented there? Nothing but. horse-races and Jim Yisk. In one room there are pictures of Jim Fisk and race-horses, and in another pictures of race-horses.and Jim Fisk, whom Wachtel evidently regards as a sort of American Bismarck,—not dead, but gone before. The race-horses can be.accounted for from the {act that Wachtel was once a stage-driver,—n gort of Postillon de Lonjuincau fu real life, SOUTH CAROLINA. Columbia (S. C.) Gnlon-Herald.

The New York Deputy-Superintendent of In- sarance, Mr. McCall, annonnces that his Depart- ment will not recognize Mr. Grace, the new Re- ceiver. The Attorney-General will apply for a Receiver as if Judge Pratt had not acted in the matter. Thia conrse is to he pursued because the Insurance Department constder it desirable to_test the question whether a Receiver coald be legally appointed on the application of ‘a stockholder. .The Department held that what the State created the State alone conld destroy. Mr., McCall has the ingenuity to remark that he doesn't want the Com- pany's alfairs to get beyond the reach of the De- partment. What good has it dome to have them within reach of the Department? It was while they were in that status that the Company was gutted. UNFORTUNATE SPECULATION IN RAILROADS BY THE CITY OF PORTLAND, ME. The citizens of Portland, Me., have made a very unfortunate investment in raflroads. In 1867 the city voted §700,000 to the Portland & Rochester Railroad, and a similar sum to the Portland & Og- densburg Rond. One step along this dangerons course led to another, and the city s now inform- ed by an Investigating Commission, appointed by the Mayor. that it bas incarred oo indebtedness of $4,109,864. This is unsecured, or secared only by the bonds of the roads, —collateral from which the Commission think very little can e realized. This delit is 13 per cent on the valuation of the city, and a per capita indebtedness of $11¢ for every man, woman, and child in Portland.

First, the average of the several statemente quoted in these columns as made by suthority in regard to the British consumption of wheat last year, Is 175,400,000 bashels—errors excepted. Second, the subsequently-given figures. given as provielon statietics, show a fearful state of things, if trae. They show that we packed 19,323 hogs during the pest week, shipped some 403,000 Ibs more lard than we received, and had 4,721 tes, of 320 1bs each, more in storo at-the end of the week than at the beginning. Comparing these figures, we ind that each hog must have furnished about 100 1bs of lard; and it wasa poor week for Iard hogs at that. They say, too, that about 1,000 tes of lard arc on the way here from St. Louis. 1t is suegested by some parties in the provision trade that the present rales of the Board of Trade, allowing operators to call for margins to value and 10 per cent beyond, places a tremendous power in the hands of men who have abundance of eapital, rendering them able to squeeze out men from the other side to thelrs almost at pleasare. claimed that 5 per cent above or below the. value determined under ‘the rules would be suficient protection to the one, and much less injurious to the other. - Margins have been called right and left during the recent decline, and many lots forced to salo in consequence, which otherwise would bave been held for a favorable turn in prices.
