: ° 16 THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, APRIL, 4, 1880—TWENTY PAGES. REAL ESTATE. A Firmer and More Active Mar- ket than Last Week. Unprecedented Demand for Houses, and a Great Increase in Rents. A Land-Office Business in Small and He- dium Dwellings—Specimen Sales —The Loan Market. ‘There was more activity in the market the past week than during the previous one, and a better feeling, thongh the transactions, ex- cept astosmalland medium dwellings and lots, were limited. “Cooled” technically expresses the condition as to good inside Property, most of that lately offered having passed into “strong hands.” One dealer said, “The buyers haven’t the fever as bad as the sellers.” Prices have been marked up all around, and are held stiff. Property could readily be sold at the figures of a few weeks ago, but people looking for in- vestments will not, as a rule, pay the advance. What are considered bargains are scarce. Some of -the owners are said to be “perfectly wild,” and not a few who had signed contracts have backed out and will not deliver the \deeds. In some instances the party of the second part has paid the commission and'|’ $200 and $300 more than the amount origi- nally agreed upon rather than resort to the law to maintain his rights. In other cases ‘THE BUYERS ARE “ SAD,” and threaten litigation, not a little of which is likely to grow out of sales made during the week ending Saturday night. There was 2 good demand for residence property, but not many sales, with the exception’ noted on account of ‘the rigidness of prices. For small and medium houses and lots the inquiry was astonishing, nearly all the agents doing a land-office business. The great majority of the purchasers were sal- aried men and mechanics. This indicates a disposition to put savings into a home and to cease boarding,—a wise conclusion, since a house and lot costing $800 to $1,000 will al- ways yield more than any broken savings- bank will pay in ‘dividends on the same amount. The railroad purchases in the vi- cinity of Canal and Harrison streets have stimulated prices thereabouts, an owner re- Tusing $12,000 for sixty feet, wanting $15,000. There are some applications for acre proper- ty, but the “boom” seems to have ended, owing, doubtless, to the feeling of owners as toprices. There is plenty of money, and most of the sales were for cash. THE DAILY RECORD OF DEEDS shows that purchases are mainly confined to srdinary dwellings and lots for building pur- poses. “The demand for this kind of property is steady, and shows a healthy and substan- tial growth in nearly all sections of the city. This is far better than any spasmodic and speculative purchases, to become often tied up with mortgages and therefore lie idle or ronsume themselves with costs in the courts. Larger capitalists are, however, wide awake for any piece of valuable property in the cen- business section of the city. The sale vf the Kendall of Dearbern and Washmgton_ streets, ils a case__in point. It was purchased by Max Wineman for $177,000 tash. The property fronts 40 feet on Wash- ington street by 950n Dearborn. The build- fine el not fire-proof,+is one of the best y Block, southwest corner e city, and commands a large rental. It understood that Mr. Wineman bought it for his wife, who is one of the heirs to the ‘tmmense estate of the late Michael Reese, of pan Francisco. It oe said that there is a eavy mortgage ‘on the property, subjec which it was purchased, but this will ae once be paid off, as the purchaser will have none pf these plastered on his wife’s property. This is also an example of the way that Chi- #RE0 is getting clear of Lig money lenders. -roperty gradually ito strong ‘ands, and these troublesome, CONSTANTLY-EATING CANCERS ‘ing replaced by sturdy and healthy growth in our business community. The tme when rival towns—there is scarcely any of them left—can reproach Chicago with be- ing covered all over with mortgages is nearly past. A very few years more wil! wipe them allout. Another notable sale is De Koven for Judge Hugh T. Dickey, of, the lot on which his elegant residence stood be- fore the fire of ’71 in Terrace row, on Michi- Bp seas south of Van Buren street. The lot is 262¢- by 17134, and it was sold for $8,000 2ash—S300 per foot. The fact that Michigan avenue is to be made the main boulevard en- trance to theSouth Park is turning the at- tention of capitalists and those who want elegant homes to that noted thoroughfare. Mr. Lyon, it is understood, has now eighty feet, perhaps more, of this desirable property, and it is surmised that a large building of slegant residence flats will soon occupy the premises. The prospective railroad on North State street, work on which has already com- menced, has had the effect to stiffen prices on the North Side, particularly east of Dear- born street, since it will make residences there more get-at-able. The proposed boule- vard sent up prices in certain localities, but the railroad has caused a more general advance, For examples: A lot on Ontario street, near Rush, which was held a short time ago at $125 a foot, was sold last week for $210; and another on Indiana street,near Dearborn, which was offered in January for $5,500, was sold for $6,500. . THE MARKET FOR ALL KINDS OF REAL PROP- - ERTY is firm, but as a rule, as stated, the views of sellers and purchasers are wide apart. Hence, while there is a fair number of sales, the list, as published daily, is byno means as long as one would suppose if he refers back to the condition of shines three or four years zgo. Then realty could scarcely be sold at any price; but now there isa market, for al- most everything that offers, The figutes may not tempt holders, but the fact that property ran be sold at fair prices is cheering and im- portant, : H.C. Morey suld: No, 497 West Monroe 50x180, with three-story stone front, $22,000; . No. 69 Warren avenue, 20x125, with two-story frame, $8,000; also No. 690 West Washington street, with two-story frame, $5,500. Edward Goodridge sold for Mrs. Sarah Cobb to Helen McMahon, No. 33 West Erie street for$3,000; and for William Jauncey to B.J.E, Helsohn, Nos. 78, 80, and 82 Judd street for $5,000. S. H. Kerfoot sold, for “$12,600 cash, a lot on Indiana street between Cass and State; also forty feet on Rush north of Pearson, running to Cass, to Nathan Mears, at an ad- vance on the recent price. Four houses are to be erected there at once. Jacob Weil & Co. sold the old Metropolitan Hotel Building, corner of Randolph street and Fifth avenue, to John Borden for $72,- 300. It is a three-story brick building, 60x100, and rented after May 1 for $7,800 per annum. Also, 41 River street, 24x100 feet, four-story orick, rented for $1,800, to Henry Strong, for $16,000 cash: the southeast corner of Clark and Ohio streets, three-story buildin x70, rented for $3,100, to Washington Porter, for 25,000 cash; 20x10 feet, on dolph street, between Clark and Dearborn, south front, to Judge W. A. Galbraith, of Erie, Pa., for $23,000,—the highest price paid for unim- proyed property in the neighborhood since the fire of 1871; 50x180 feet on Melrose street, Lake View, with two-story brick house, for $4,100, George R. Clarke & Co. sold 9834 acres on the southwest corner of South street and Western avenue, in Morgan Park, for William C. Frisbieto B. H. Forsythe, for $15,000 cash. J. LL. Eoff closed the following sales: Pitty feet on Forest avenue, near Thirty-seconi street, for $2,500; 48 feet on Indiana average near Thirty-first street, for $4,320; No. Warren avenue, $3,300; No. 377 Sed ick street, $2,200; 4 lots corner Buttertield and Fifty-first streets, for, see B eee ou Aichi. an avenne, near irty-eighth street, for 500; ad 200 feet dock front on Joy's Canal for $25,000. Garnett & Thomasson sold 20 acres cor- : of Stony Istand boulevard and Eighty- th street for $500 an acre; also, to the e party, five acres in Carolin’s Subdiyis- jon in See. 35, 38, 14, for $1,000 an acre cash. ¥ SATURDAY’S TRANSFERS. ‘The following instruments were filed for yocord Saturday, April 3: .

There is an unprecedented demand for houses, and fully 10 per cent of the appli- cants are strangers,—people who have just moved to thecity from the East, West, North, and South. All the agents said they ha never known so many to want houses except just after the fire of 1871. Heretofore, it was said, tenants had had the landlords at their mercy; now the latter have the advantage, and they are using it with a vengeance. The rent of everything has gone up from 20 to 50 per cent,—not alone of dwellings, but_of stores and oftices down town. The greatest advance has. been in dwellings, owing, of course, to their scarcity. Houses which rented last year for $20 and S250 month are now held for $25. $30, $35, and $40, while those which could be had last April at $40 and $50 are readily taken at $50, $60, and $75. As to offices, even not very de- sirable ones, so far as size is concerned, the rents haye been advanced 20, 25, and 30 per cent, and takers are plenty. So, too, with stores. There is no difliculty in renting them at the landlord’s price. an instance, those in the Porter Block, corner of Adams and Clark streets, may be cited. A shop 20x 70, which was leased last year for $100 a month, is now held at $150, and another for which $i5 was thought enough in 1879, cannot be had after May 1 for less than $112.50, This increase in rents accounts in part for the in- dependence of owners when a would-be pur- chaser comes along; and also, in a measure, for the immense demand for the smaller houses, many of those who have purchased being-tenants, who, being able to buy, pre- ferred owning the houses outright to paying the increase. BUILDING. The outlook for building this season, at least in the fore part of it, is not, brill- iant, ‘his is. due to the advance in the price of, material,: bricks being now $10 a thonsand. | Therailroad companies have absorbed ail in the market for their de- ts and have made contracts for future de- livery, so builders are at present indisposed to make contracts, not knowing what the price will be. Hence, there will be little work done for private parties until mid-sum- mer, or until the new stock is available, along toward the beginning of June. A few contracts have already been made at $7. The demand for houses will certainly have the efféct to stimulate building, for hundreds of small and medium-st: dwellings are needed. Heretofore the supply. has never been equal even to the natural growth of the city, and, now thatso many are moving here from the outside, unless an unusual number of houses are erected this year, there will be as great a searcity in April, 1851. ‘The Building Department issued permits last week for seventy-eight new structures to cost $140,555, The following are the more nt: im} 3 ‘ird avenue, near Fourteenth, a freight depot, 60x351, slate-roof, for the Chicago & Western Indiana ad Company, to cost $82,000. . Rucker and Huron streets, improvements on the Bethel Church, to cost $2,000. Franklin and Randolph streets, five-story warehouse for. Field, Leiter & Co., to cost 000, ‘Wood street, No. 392, three-story factory for Naman, Wanbrandt & Co., to cost $3,600, Western avenue and Twelfth street, two- sto: avvelling for John Rusis, to cost $3,000. Wallace an Thirtieth streets, three-story public schoolhouse, to cost $30,000. One of the ‘largest improvements in con- templation is the erection of about forty houses on the triangular piece of ground opposit Lincoln Park, facing Clark and La Salle streets and North avenue. Ground has already been broken, and work on -the foundations will begin in a short time. _ Another scheme now hatching is the build- ing of a number of substantial stores on the west side of Market street, south of Madi- son. Whether it will mature will not be known fora week.

Tilden, During Which the Plans, Purpos and Desires of the Latter Gentleman Are Duly Set Forth. ‘Toledo Blade. - Noo York, March 20, 1860.—I am at present an inmate uv aconvenient but very cheap Hotel in the vicinity uv Gramercy Park, the residence of the great Tilden, wich wood hev invited mé tostay with him, but unfortoonitly his house wuz full uv Dimecrats from all parts wich cum to persuade him to save the kentry by consentin torun for the Presidency. In the kindest man- ‘ner, however, he is payin roy board here (I bein ‘adelegate-elect to the Cincinnati Convention), he makes mea fair allowance for my prinsipal expenses, wich is the bar of the House. I hed a intervew with the great man yisterday, wich wuz entirely satisfactory. Indeed, the close uv it wuz more than satisfactory, ez Ikin now git not only a noo soot uv cloze, but kin approach Bascom for six months without askin credit, pervidin the intlnx uv drummers from Looisville keeps up, and they display ther accus- sored Uberality in askin the whole house up to in} Mr. Tilden remarked that he did not now, not never hed desired the Presidency. Ef he knowd hisself be wuz a simple mindid man wich desired to pass the reminder uv his days in peace and quict with his friends, and not to be worried with pollytix or bizuis. But wat cood he do? The Kentry was his wife and children, and they demandid thathe take the soct. Theydemandid in 1876, nnd he yeelded then, and he spozed he hev to now. “In wat way, Mr. Tilden, do yoo perpose to meet this almost yoonen::aus demand of the Aone people for yooto accept the nomin- ashen?” “ Ishel do eve! thatin me lies to meet the wishes uy my fellow-citizens.

And he went on to say that the great an man hed desired him to Bee that the Kentucky delegashun- wuz yoonanimus for him. “The fact is, Nas- by,” sed this man, “ef Tilden is nominated and electid I am promised the Collectorship of Loois- ville, and I kin give you a nice berthinit.

He caused it to cirkelate privitly among the Demoerisy, that the great and good Tilden de- sired to meet, personally, them upon whom he expectid to confer appintments, on the 19th inst., at his house. The streets wuz full for five blocks with a percesbun ez long ez a St. Patrick's Day. Among em wuz exactly 38 statesmen wich hed each bin informed thet he wuz the ielis statesman’s choice for the Vice-Presi- lency, and who hed bin promised that his in- tlooence «hood be thrown for them. It didn’t annoy the gilelis man at all. Ez he blandly re- markt to me, “These gentlemen are all com- mittid publicly to me, and they can hardly go back on wat they hev told their constitooents.” Mr. Tilden is a great, ez well ez gilclis, man, ————— Fastidious Ladies. “It has lately been chronicled of one of the London beauties,” says the Washington Star, “* that she is so fastidious in regard to the clean- liness of anything she touches that she has gold or silver coln scoured before putting it into “her pune. ‘The Inte Birs. Gales of this city was sim- Harly eccentric. Her old friends say that if she dropped her handkerchie? on the floor she would not use it again until it had been washed. Immediately on returning home after a waik or drive, she would change every article of ‘her clothing. An Admiral now living here recently related that, when a young Lieutenant, he once offended her by riding on horseback to Ecking- ton (her country seat) toattend a dinzer-party |’ to which she hud invited him. In the rebuke which she administered to him she implied that he brought the odor of the horse in his clothes to her table.” ‘i AMUSEMENTS, MWVICKER’S THEATRE.
