Sales, Loans, Leases, and Build- ing-Permits of the : Week. A Successiul Building Association-— Miscellaneous Items. ‘The well-known Fike Building on State street was soid Jast week for $300,000. This fine “property stands on the southwest corner of State and Monroe streets, and 18 the most valu- able business structure en State street next to the Singer suilding, recentl¥ sold for $654,000. The Pike Building has on the first floor one of ‘the best retail stores on State street, now occn- pied by Matson & Co., jewelers, and the.floors above are divided into offices. The rross rental is $33,000; taxes, repairs, care of the building, insurance, ete., cost about $12,000, leaving a A NET INCOME OF 7 PER CENT to the purchasers. The building has a frontage or 80 fset on State, and 120 feet on Monroe. It 4s five stories high, with a marble front on each street. Of the purchase-money,'$150,000 was paid in cash and $150,000 remains in a6 per cent mortgage. The purchaser was Mr. Frederick Ayer, of Lowell, Mass. Who gets the commissions on this sale? Well, nobody does. For ouce the Chicago brokers were caucht with hayseed in their hair. Mr. Ayer and his Jegal adviser made a keen trad with Mr. Vike; but the keenest thing they did ‘was to outwit the agents who were thirsting for THER LITTLE ‘“ COMMISH.” ‘The agents went hunting for the Yankees. The fun was fast and furious. About every building in town, whether for sale or not, was offered to them. They made more confiaential friends in an hour here than in a Hfetime in cold New England. Real estate was showered - on them morning, noon, and night, while they were dressing, at their meals, on the street, and thrown over their transoms after they had gone to bed. A hundred agents saw “millions in it.” But the Yankees played it on the brokers in “a way that was peculiar.” They picked out their ing, walked unintroduced into the private oflice of the owner, bought it, and paid for it, so eaviny: themselves some thousands of dollars commissions. Of course, it’s a wicked shame: but there is a moral in it; it isn’t good business When one agent has a principal in-tow for all the other agents in town to jump on and try to get him away. A straw appeared in the Chicago real-estate current last week that had a creat deal of sig- nificance. A mine-owner from Colorado arrived iu town who bad $200,000 to invest in Chicago real estate. ‘This sum was part of the profits of Oue mine since 1877. There were come other Leadville capitalists in town, incorrectly report- ed as intending to buy real estate, but about the one we refer to there is no mistake. This case is the first of many. The miuing industry of the country—independeotly of mining-stock speculation—is on the eve of a great develop- ment,—the sreatest since the California dis- covery of 1819. The fortunate-ones wil! make immense profits. A great part of these gains ‘will go into i REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS. Men who bave made money in mining, and haye tested its uncertainties, will want for their permanent estates something sure and certain, and they will find this in real estate. Real es- tate, even in such a close trade as that reported above, yields 7 per cent net, and is as good as Government 4 per cents. A. J. Averell sold for Samuel Allerton, Esq., to Alfred Cowles, Esq., the residence property 644 Michigan avenue, with 2 lot 90xiG60 feet, south of Eighteenth street, on the east side of the avenue, for $23,000.

E, A. Warfichd has sold since Jan. 1 $150,000 worth of property, and is negotiating sales which will amount to uslf as much more. Ont of ninety-four houses and tenements be- Jonging to the interests he represents there is uly one house remaining vacant. ‘The demand for houses has been very great; it is civen asa fact that for a house which was advertised Aion- day morning there were forty applicants in two days. The features uf the rent-market remain very mach as they have been described in previous articles, In most localities ‘NOTHING LIKE AN ADVANCB has been achieved. The North Side district, east of Clark and south of Chicago avenne, is gn exception on account of its superior accessi- Dility to the business centre. The strong de- mand which has showed itself for houses in that lace, renting for $40 to $60 a month, should be ahint to capitalists to build on the South Bide in the now neglected aistrict along Wabash avenue, west of State street and south of Van Buren street. All that is necessary to make this Droperty thoroughly desirable for residence is for some men to act in concert in improving it, and especially in securing similar improve- ment of the side streets leading to it from Wa- Dash avenue. A first-class population of several thousands could be put upon that Jand if the improvement were made to include one or two of the approaches from Wabash avenue, so that people would not have to go through ash heaps god past rum holes and doubtful resorts to get ome. 3 On the North Side s brick house op Dearborn avenue, near Superior street, that was rented ‘after May 1last year at $50's month has been rented at $60a month; on Dearborn'svenue, near Huron, atbree-story brick nouse with stone trimmings has been rented for $75 a month, the same as last year; on Huron street, be- tween Dearborn und State, a two-story and basement brick house bas been rented for $50 er month; the price last year was $45. There s some building in progress on the North Side. Houses are Zomg up on Clark street. Indiana street, Ontario street, Chestnut street between Clark and Dearborn, on Oak street near Clark, on LaSalle street near Superior street and Chi- cago avenue. These houses are mostly two or three story Duitdings, of brick, with stone triin- mings, and will cost between $4,000 and 37,000 each. Un Cass street some houses have been Jet at $45 and $50 month that were rented last Fear at $40.2 month. . On Schiller street, some ‘$25-a-month houses have been raised to $30 a month, and in some cases a ‘similar raise bas been made on Webster avenue. Rents in the West and South Divisions re- main genérally steady. suandlords and, agents areas arule well pleased to rent to good ten- ants at last year’s prices. There seems Jess changing about than usual in stores in the busivess centres. ‘Ihe views of both owners and tenants seem BEST MET BY RENEWALS, - and for that reason there are not many new leases to report. A store on Madison street, between State and Wabash, 22x70, nas been rented tor $1,500, with the basemént; on Wash- ington street, near LaSalle, a store rents for $90.a month; on Madison strect, near Fifth aye- nue, a double store rents for $4,800. fice rents near the Hoard of Trade and in the financial centre are in good demand, with- out an advance. At the corner of State and Twelfth streets, a store, , was leased for $900 a year; stores on State, in the neighberhood of Polk, rent at $35 for stores alone, and $45 a month ‘for a store with a basement. Near Sixteeuth strect, on State, 2 store 20x60 goes at $25 a month. Flats on State street, averaging six rooms each, rent from $25 to $30 » mouth, aslight gain on last year rates. Building has not been very active. The RISE IN BUILDING materials and the apprehension of trouble with striking workingmen have operated to check some extensive enterprises. ‘here were sixty-nise permits issued during the week. Among them were those to the Western Transportation Company, warehouse on the river at Dearborn street, to cost. $3,300: Mr. Cullery, addition to 162 Washington street, to cost $5,500; Patrick Brennan, three-s:ory store and Gwelting at 278 West Twelfth street, to cost 34.000; Henry Barker & Co., office on Lincoln street, near the railroad tracks, to cost ilo to cost $5,000, and a ware- : Patrick Dinan, three-story stone-front store at 258 North Clark street, to cost $6,000; E. K. Rogers, two three-story stone- front dwellings at 357 and 361 Ontario street, to cost $9,000 cach; Mr. Stenger, two-story dwell- ing at 129 West Harrison street, to cost $2,000; Henry Buschmeier, three-story divelling at 54 Granger street, to cost $5,000. ‘The loans of the week amounted to $221,920, against $165,562 for the previous week. Rates range from 7 to 9 per cent. Real estate IN SAN FRANCISCO, . ty according to the ea! Estate Circular, was very dull in March. Only 201 sales were made, of the total value of 5753,309. Buvers are timid, and want things all their own way. Of course sellers will uot submit, and therefore sales are slow. Large buyers of business properties are practically out of the market. The most of the sales _now being made are of lots of $1,000 to $3,000, and of Houses and lots at $2,000 to $5,000. ‘The prices paid at the Real Estate As- sociates? sales were low, but the majority were fully up to the average of existing rates.
