One was 8,500 for five vears on property on South Halsted, near Randoiph, and anoiher $40,000 for three years On Property in Angrew’s Subdivision. “I'he tendency of rents in New York for the ‘bizher class of houses is shown by the fact that for the first, time since the panic of 1573 the/nu- Dumerous tenauts of the Astor estate find them- selves faced Dy a determination not 1o grant a further reduction of rents. This affects a larze number of up-toyn residents, and also several Jocalities in thé extreme western part of the city. The caseis different with the business property belonging to the estate, where consid- erations pot at all affecting private resideaces must naturally come into calculation. Asto Lhe effect of the clevated roads in producing 1 eearcity of tenantsin the central part of the city, between Eignth and Thirtieth streets, ow- ing to the constant porthward movement of a larze portion of the city’s population, it is to be remembered that in a city of over a million inhabitants there are always thousands of per- sons anxious to be within walking distance, not only of their ows places of ‘bsiness, but also of the theatres and hotels, a-darge class of the pop- ulation being kept by their business in constant intercourse with these hotels ,:md'publiu Dplaces. There is alwars quite a number of- peoolc com- ing back from Harlem, s that thus far at least the equilibrium has been disturbed but little. ‘The market for real estate in SAN PRANCISCO is reported by the Bulletin to be in a somewhat uncertain condition. The demand contioues uiet, and yet there appears to be a stroug un- 3mumnc ready to set in an opposite direction just as soon as the judgment of the public shall settle down to the 1act that values have reached bed-rock. It is the inability to discern whether that time has arrived that keeps the market in its present quiet and yet anxious condition. ' 'I;l'xe sales in February were the lizhtest since Jast summer, and show a larze falling off as com- ‘pared with the corresponding month in previous years. CRIME. BILL YOUNG. Special Dispatch to The Tribune. KEOEUE, Ia., March 15.—The interest in the examination of Bill Young for the Spescer mur- der at Luray, Mo., is on the increase from day to day, and is already greater than at any time since the murder, not excepting the arrest and trial of Willis James for the crime. Laura Sprouse, who was emploved as Young’s house- keeper at the time of the murder, and who has given the most damaging evidence against Lim, js proving a troublesome witness for the de- fense to handle. She is saucy and de- fiant, and answers the attorneys about as she pleases. ‘She has been under rigid cross-cxamination for two days and has never contragicted herself or retracted any of her statements. Sheisan cccentric individual, and the examivation is bringing out some of herqaeer freaks. A number of letters which she wrote to Youog during his absence last fall have been introduced. These are alternutely of an affectionate and revengeful temper. In some she expresses the most ardent love for him, and in others denounces him in the most scathing terms for having deserted her. In one of these letters she drew a rude sketch of a tombstone and inscribed thercon an imaginary epitaph for herself. These letters are peing used by the defense in an- attempt to show that Mrs. Sprouse and Yonng were en- gared to be married, and that her testimony in this case is in retaliation for his failure to carry ont his part of the agreement. Mrs. Sprouse testifies that they were never engaged 1o be married, but that, they talked about marrying, and she encouraged him in order to get him to tell ber about the Spencer murder. She gave an account _ of a journey she and Younx took a_ short fime previous to the murder, in which they crossed the Spencer place. Youns has repeatedly stated that he had never been on the Spencer place previous to the murder. The cross-cxamination of Mrs. Sprouse will occupy at least_two days ‘more, and the trial fully another week. Several witnesses were introduced to-day to prove that Young Lad said at various times that he could put bis hand ou the Spencer murderers, and whea the reward offered was Jarge enonzh he would do 0. 1t is probable there will be some new developments in the case outside the examination erc loog, 2s others were impli- cated in the affair, and a movement is on _foot 1o sccure their arrest. The Anti-Horse-Thief Associstion have taken hold of the matter again, and there is now & rivalry betiween them aud the detective in ferreting it out. SUSPICIOUS. Spectal Dispateh to The Trivune. PrTTsBuRG, March 19.—This forenoon De- tective Moessmer noticed two men acting sus- piciously. One of them handed theother agold watch, and told him to pawn it. Both of them were arrested and taken to the Mayor’s office, where the man who claimed the watch said his name was Thomas Haston, and he was aresi- dent of West Union, Ia., where he owned a farm. He also said he came from Columbiana, 0., last nizht, and having got on a spree wanted to pawn his watch to raise money enough to see him through, and purchase a ticket for his howe in Jowa. He bat pumecrous photo eraphs in bis possession. one of which is of a young woman. He first said it was the picture of bis niece, but afterwards said it was his wife. He told several stories as to why he came to this city from Columbiana, and one of the let~ ters in his possession seems to intimate that he left under a cloud. Ie claimed that the watch ‘had been purchased by him, and that the chain lad originally belonged to his father, now dead.. He gave the detectives the names of several parties to whom he wanted telezrams sent, and asserted that he would be able to prove that he was “ all right.” He is now at the Central Station swaiting responses to the telegrams. > ROBBED AND MURDERED. RicnyoOXD, Va., March 15.—A pegro named Baccizalupi to-nizht fatally stabbed his wife several times. She was his cousin, and pos- sessea considerable money. He, getting con- trol of it, arranzed to decamp. The wife, suspecting his desizn when he left the house, went after him and endeavored to bring him back. Baccigalupi thereupon staboed her and ran off. He jumped into the canal and swam acrcss, but was caught as he came out, and $3,650 of his wife's money found with him. A VERANDAH-CLIMBER.

The paper which contdined the motion was probabiy another * bogus dispatch,” some of the gentlemen named as signers stating that they had never sizned their names to the docu- ment. Tbat is, hardly ever. The rate on grain to New York on moderately large lots is believed to be not lower than 17e per 100 1bs, though a very large lot, 53y 500 car- loads, may hdve been taken for less. During the last two or three days of last week our wheat was down to a shipping basis for about the first time on the current crop. This may seem very strange, seeing that more than half our surplus hadbeen_already moved forward from the West, and a large proportion of it via Chicago. The difficulty vanishes when it is re- membered that the American sqzlngs which have trossed the Atlantic since last harvest were almost exclusively No. 8 and rejected, * hardly ever™ a kernel of No. 2 being shipped to Europe. The fact first named supgests, however, that there s a chance. mow for the really No. 2 to be shipped, and some of it will probably go forward. The premiam on No. 2, as compared with No. 8, was only 93c on Saturday; and some operators were speculating on the probability of its being narrowed down to about 7c, at which poiot the shippers would undoubtedly take the No. 2 freely. g 1t is understood that s committee bas com- pleted s tour of the elevators, finding the wheatall right. The Chief Inspector of Grain fn this city is endeavoring to secure the delivery of average grain to shippers ns an act of fairpessto all partics. It is very seldom that the contents of two bins are of exactly equal value per bu, and there is no good reason why shippers who buy re- ceipts for grain of the same grade should receive grain of uoequal intrinsic value. The grading should be as nearly uniform as possible, and the new departure promises to be a declded im- provement fn the business. ‘Ihe leading produce markets were moderate- 1y active yesterday. Provisions were more steady, and grain irregular. Breadstuffs were ralher weak, ou the whole, till towards noon, and then became firmer. The shipping move- ment was rather less active, some orders having been withdrawn as a consequence of the recent weakening in prices. The demand for domestic and foreign dry goods continaes of lMberal proportions and the market maintains a buoyant tone. Cotton goods remain very firm, with some. lines advancing, Groceries continue to move freely for the sea- son, and prices remain about stcady. There was a good demand for domestic dried truits, and most kinds of foreign fruits also met with a fair inquiry. Prices were generally firm. Fish continue active, with prices firmly. supported. Lake fish and cod are esoecially strong. Canned goods are still meeting with a liberal inquiry, and are firm. In the butter market no important change was poted, there being s fair demand at substantially former quotations. Cheese was quict and steady. There was nothing new to be smd of the leather, bagging, tobacco, and paint markets. Oils were quoted quict and nominally steady. Coal was in fair gemand at former quotations. The demand for lumber continues active, though the shipments have fallen off some since the advent of cooler weather. Quotations are unchanged, though it1s well understood that concessions are made, usually by operators who have special reasons for wanting to reduce their stock. The fall of the thermometer to the peizhborhood of zero has pearly removed the fears of an opening of navigation before April 1. The ice on Muskegon Llake is reported to be twenty inches thick, and it is believed that a ood many warm dags will be required to make a serious impression on it. Other ports are sim- ilarly situated. There 1s a stock of something like 200,000,000 {t of lumber, mostly dry, at the manufacturing points on Lake Slichigan, & larze portion of which will probably be sentto this market as soon as the ico barrfer to vessels is broken. The spring trade, Lowever, has opencd ausplciously, and the sales of dry lumber, which is preferred to precn, especially for shipping long distances, promise to reach a large figure Dbefore the Iatter is very plenty. The demand for wool, broom-corn, and hides was equal to the late averaze, and bills were usually made out at former prices. The aemand for bay was light, aud the market weak under free offerings of low grades. Seeds were steady, flax and timothy being firm. Poultry was scarce and firm, and eggs were weaker, being more plenty. The offerings of wild ducks were heavy,and the sales were light, except of the best varieties, which brought more than on other days of the past week, the decline baving increased the inquiry.

The receipts of hogs at this point were small, and they were quoted 5¢ hicher, while Liverpool reported an advance of Gd in meats, cxcept shoulders, which were easier. Tho work of hog-packing is procecding less vizorously ihan at thisdate & yeur ago, the packing since March 1 being eome 10.000 head.less, and some operators are inclined to expect a smalier run of hoge-between now and May-Day, with a smaller summer aggregate than last year. __Phe following shows the shipments of provisions from this city for the periods named: Articles.
