REAL ESTATE IN CHICAGO IS DEVELOPING A HEALTHY ACTIVITY that promises the best kind of a market for the winter and spring. The situation is now entire- ly different from what it was lust year. Therg was then the feverishness of spocutation in the paar Now property is being sought by a 60 PHALANX OF INVESTMENT BUYERS, who are using every art to conceal their opera- tions, and check apy tendency to excitement. Agents are- positively forvidden in many eases to muke any report of their sales, and frequently deeds are kept of the records, THz Trrnuse has never symputbized with the exaggerated ideas preva- jent of the importance of outside capitalists. Chicago real-estate values must be determined inthe fou run by the use Chicago men can make of it. Itis Chicago men who are buying ret estate here to-day. None know 60 well a3 they how the city has grown and is growing, and they are putting MILLIONS OP DOLLARS into business and residence property. This is usuuily the quiet season, but numerous cupital- ists, unticiputing a higher market next spring. are conducting their negotiations now, and num- bers of importunt sales have been wade. ‘The Peck estate have recelved-an offer of $0u,000 for their yh LAKESIDE BUILDING at the corner of Clark and Adains, and of $400,- ow for the Exchange Building at the southwest corner of Washingtou and Clurk. Mr. Henry C. Hew bas within a few weeks mude purchases of real estate to the amount of about half a million dollars. Tney comprise ten ucreson Forty-tirst street, between the Grand boulevard and Charles strect, $105,000; the Fol- lansbee Block on Twenty-second street, between State and Wabash avenue, $145,000; the new double store just built by Potter Palmer on Adams “street, $55,000; the Crane Bullding on Monroe street, 353,000; tho property on South Water street und State, northwest cor- ner, fur $80,000; 50x103 on State, south of Hurri- son, $25,000; and somo smuller pieces. These, added to the purchases of Mr. P. B. Hutchinson and his expenditures in building, make a total of not less than $1,000,000 spent in Chicago real estate by TWO CHICAGO MEN within a few months. The best of the present market is that its strencth comes almost en- tirely from the operations of our own capitalists. The vacant property on Fifth avenue, between Mudison and Adums strects, hus been bought by capitalists like Mr. Henry Strong and Mr. P. B. Hutchinson at prices averaging about $700 2 foot. Arrangements have beea made to put buildings up at the earliest moment possible, and tenants havo been already secured for them. ‘Tho Appleby Building on Monroe strost, east of Fifth avenue, bas been sold for S50; It bas a frontage of 4Sfect<——~—_—- Mr. P. B. Hutchinson bas purehased tor $30, 000 the southeust corner of Luxe street and Fifth avenue, occupied by Casey & Uo. and two eating houses. Cupitalists aro hunting up THE NEGLECTED STREETS and corners of the business district. It is evi- dent that every fuot between the Inke and Van Buren will. have to be utilized for the ac- commvaation of our crowding business. Even ‘Third avenue is being scoured for bargains, © At the last meeting of the Common Council Mayor Harrison sent in two ordinances for the sale of the LARE-PRONT. Qnehad been prepared by the rafirond and the Other by the Mayor, who wished to muke sure that the riparian rights of the city were pre- served. Both ordinances were reterred to the Judiciary Comunittee. ‘The now street railway ON LAKE STREET, for which an ordinance was pnased by the Com- mon Council on Monday night, will have an im- portant aifect on tho values of property along- the line. The sudden rise in prices on North State street, after the horse railway was intro- duced, and the great stimulus given to bullding there, isa case in point. Real estate on Lake street between the bridge and Ashland avenue bus been dead for twenty-five years, and that between Rockwell street and Central Park has, although admirably suited for residence purposes, been a drug in the market, on account of its inuccessibility. Now, however, the salable and rentable vatuo of all this property will bo doubled. ACRE PROPERTY remains quiet, but there are somo purchases be- ing made in localities Ukely to bu affected by new railroad enterprises. Speculative activity ther is none. SALES. SPECIMEN TRANSACTIONS. Messrs. Garnett & Thomasson report that they advertised an acre property east of Cornell, and Monday had five applicants forit. On Ashland avenue, near Fifty-first street, $1,200 an acre is olfered for property which is held at $1,500 an nere. Tho same firm sold 10 fect on Michigua avenuc and Forty-seventh street for Capt.

The great reaction for the better in reat estate is also shown by a compurison of the sales of this year With those of 1870, when trading was about ut a minimum. The sales uf that year were only 12% in num- ber, for $4,283,407. The increase of business, as indicated by these fixures, is between 700 and ‘800 per cent, and the top has not been reached yet.
