Changes Probable in La Salle, Wash- ington, and Other Streets. A Powerful Clique Will Attempt to Pre- yent the Removal. Sales of the Week—Stir in Acre : Property. Compound Interest Left Behind by Obi- cago Real Estate. i ‘The sensation of the week in real estate was the overwhelming vote of 936 to 193, by which the Board of Trade agreed to remove to the site south of the Grand Pacific Hotel, offered by Mr. Willian L. Scott, of Erie. ‘Although the Board of Trade has lohg threatened to move, the public was not pre- pared for so emphatic a decision. The same uproar has been created as followed the REMOVAL OF THE BOARD FROM WATER STREET to its ‘present location, and the change of base by Field, Leiter & Co. and Farwell & Co. after the fire to their present wholesale auarters. In these cases the greatest op- position was manifested. It was believed shat great damage would be done to real- tstate interests by the change. But the pyent has proyed thatthe vacuum was at once filled, and that every one has gained by the expansion of the business district." Itis too much to expect that persons who think their interests are seriously affected for the present will take a philosophic view of the matter, The proposed removal ‘WILL BE CONTESTED. There is positive authority for the state- ment that the property owners in the vicinity of the Chamber of Commerce will use every means, legal and otherwise, to prevent the yacation of La Salle street and the. emigra- gration of the Board to its new home. Able counsel baye been consulted, and whatever legal obstructions are possible will be thrown in the path of the new departure. No action will be taken by the Chamber of Commerce, as that body are content with their lease to the Board of Trade, which will not leave without AN EQUITABLE SETTLEMENT. One of the questions to be raised by the con- testants is, whether the Common Council have the right to vacate a stfeet for private purposes when it has once been opened tb the public. Another will relate to the rights of the parties who paid assessments for opening La Salle street north of Jackson. ‘There are other issues that will be developed in time. Real-estate owners in the vicinity of the present Chamber are canvassing new plans by which the Board might be tempted to remain where they are, One of. these is the purchase of THE COLEHOUR BUILDING, east of the Chamber of Commerce, taking down both buildings and erecting a new structure, 180 qn Washington by 180 on La Salle street, with a twenty-foot alley to the east of it, in placeof the twenty-foot alley which now runs between the two buildings. This plan and some. others proposed have jaken no definit shape. Careful canvassing of the real-estate dealers ; of the cityshows a very one-sided drift of ppinion, Realestate men are almost allin favor of the new move. The present CENTBE NEEDS EXPANSION, New businesshouses are coming into the tity in such numbers, the needs of those here ire increasing so rapidly, that the business quarter is already crowded. Every foot of sround around the river, the lake, and Van uren will have to be used for central busi- Jess purposes. There is certain, to ve a shortage of accommodation. this wring. The pressure for room will be much greater when the two years have passed that must elapse before the Board of Trade ean leave their quarters. The comple- tion of the County and City Build- ings will. bring into’ the Court-House square a great number of tenants for offices. The rea) estate, stack brokerage, insurance, and similar branches are enlarg- ing their borders every year, and are now really : CRAMPED FOR ROOM. ‘There are other departments of business, like the lumber and coal interests, that must have more and better roomthan now. Chicago has a Stock Board that is rapidly developing jnto an important institution. Looking back ai few years, itis impossible to look forward afew years. Real-estate meg sayand believe that there will not be any permanent depres- sion left in either Washington or La Salle streets by the removal of the Board of Trade. La Salle will be. in their opinion, positively benefited. It will be made PERMANENTLY A WALL STREET. Washington ‘street will be more seriously af fected at first. But the effect will be per- ceived now,—not two years from now, when the change is really made. Such changesin business centres are being constantly made in growing cities, 1n none, for instance, have they been more frequent or radical than in New York. A change could not be better made than under the auspices of a powerful body like the Board of Trade. ‘The change is certain to be a success, and new occupants will rush in to fill the place left vacant. As for the interests of the CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, it is argued that its property will uever be worth less than it is to-day. In the first place, it will receive a satisfactory compen- sation from the Board of Trade. Our Board of Trade men are the promptest and most liberal business-men in the city. They will inake a settlement that will be a full equiva- Tent for NOT CARRYING OUT THEIR LEASE as they agreed to do. Before the change is made there will be the rise in value of two years of a rapidly-improving real-estate market, the office-rents of the next two years will inerease considerably, and when the change comes it will be easy to find tenants who will pay at least as much then as is received now, and probably more. This is nota gloomy outlook for the Chamber of Commerce. Some changes of importance will follow in the business of the streets involved. La Salle street will, of course, be the avenue to the Board of Trade. The future of Wash- ington street it is not so easy to predict, but it can be safely said that the real-estate men will take up a great deal of its space. Clark street will be affected not less than any other. Retail trade will crowd into it more and more, driving the beer saloons, the whisky shops, and the gamblers further south. The greatest changes will be made in the vicinity of the new Board of Trade Building. Van Buren street, Pacific avenue, and Third avenue will be completely revolu- tionized. a SALES, F Messrs. Isham & Prentice have sold, for | the Connecticut Mutual Life-Insurance Com- pany, the Jot 45x190 on Adams street, just west of their buildmg on the corner of Dear- porn street. ‘The price paid ‘was $45,259, Mr. Joseph Field was the purchaser. < ‘Mr. Henry ©. Rew has purchased 198-10x Mutual Life-Insurance Company, of Hart- ford, Conn, Uenry P. Isham, Sartell Prent- ice, Tracy D. Hull, and Augustus L. Evans, asking that Isham & Prentice be restrained from delivering a deed to Evans, and re- quests that the Court compel the delivery of a deed to him. Thetrouble between the parties is one of commissions, Mr. Evans is the purchaser with whom Messrs. isham & Prentice have negotiated the sale of the lot for $825,000. A temporary injunction was granted. It 18 not known for whom Mr. Evans has been acting in the purchase, butit is believed that it isin the interest of some one who intends to build a theatre on this site. In their last annual ‘report, just-published, the South Park Commissioners express some apprehensions as to the result of the verdict against them for the VALUE OF THE PHILLIPS TRACT; inthe East Park. This tract, which they took possession of ten years ago under a con- tract for.$800 an acre, has ever since ‘been tied up by litigation, and is now in the Unit ed States Courts. The Commission says it has no reason to suppose that a jury in a United States Court will find an outrageous verdict, and its re- sources for the payment of land obligations, which will be husbanded carefully, may be considered ample to meet any reasonable de- mand. The Commission will resist any de- mand that is otherwise, These resources are as follows: Cash to credit land fund.......

We have found some very inter- esting items on this subject in an old copy of the Real-Estate Review of two years ago in an article by S. 1. Kerfoot, Esq. He says that he has had friends, some of whom are stil living here, tell him of their having shot ducks where the Tremont House and Sher- man House now stand. Now, let us follow by orly two figures the value of those properties, the one fronting 80 feet on Lake and 180 feet on Dearborn streets, and the other fronting 180 feet on Clark and 8@ feet on Randolph. . THE TREMONT HOUSE LOT was originally patented in the year 1831, with eight other jote in the neighborhood, the consideration for the whole nine lots being three hundred and forty-six ($846) dolars. The original purchaser was John B. Beau- bien, one of the. family of renowned memory here in Chicago. The one lot has since been considered worth certainly $250,000, and is now beyoud question worth from $150,000 to $200,000. THE SHERMAN HOUSE LOT, directly opposit the elegant structure now in process of erection for the purpose of the County Court-House and the City-Hall, fronts 180 feet on Clark street and eighty feet-on Randolph street. This was purchased ten years after the Tremont House lot by Silas W. Sherman for $6,353. No one will gainsay that this lot, ex- elusive of the splendid hotel now on it, is worth $225,000. ‘Fhis property, like all other central prop- erty, has been improved all the while, at first with what were then very fine buildings, As time demanded more elegant ones they came, 0 that the property has been yielding @ con- stant return, greater or less, winle at the same time it has been growing in value until it nas reached its present status. Now then, charging it- with its original cost thirty-one years ‘since, and interest nd taxes all the while, and crediting it with the fair ground rental and its present value—see how far the rise will out-distance the cost, POLY feet on State street, south of the corner of Van Buren recently bought by him. The price paid was $17,000. e ‘The sale of the southeast corner of Monroe street and Dearborn has progressed so far-as to become a subject of litigation. James E. Tyler has filed a bill against the Connecticut interest, taxes, etc. é NO MERE INVESTMENT AT INTEREST could possibly equal this transaction. To show how estimates of value varied in 1641, the Jot on the southwest corner of Washington and La Salle streets was in that year purchased by P. F. W. Peck for $2.166, Ttwvas the same size as that of the She man House lot, fronting 180 feeton La Salle street and eighty on Washington street. It will be recognized as-the ‘property on the north end of which the Union National Bank now stands, : 2 Tt would not take half an hour in which to find plenty of cash customers to buy itat the original cost, interest, taxes, etc., asking no deduction for the revenue had from it. On July 17, 1841, Henry Loomis bought the lot on the southeast corner of Dearborn and Washington streets, on the north end of which now stands the Portland. Block, in which the Merchants’ Savings; Loan & Trust Company has {ts banking office. ‘The price of this was $2,166. Now apply the same test of interest, etc., and see how this transaction turns out. J It may now be interesting to some of those_ who take the trouble to read this article to learn of a few of the > * "PURCHASES WHICH MADE the foundation of the fortunes of one or two of our present solidly wealthy men. ‘Mr. B, H. Hadduck,. for instance, pur- chased, in 1883, the whole lot on the south- west corner of Madison street and Fifth ave- nue, $0x190 feet, for $103. The same gentle- man at the sams time purchased the whole Jot on the northwest.corner,of Franklin and Monroe streets for $105, He also bought the whole of Block 134, School-section, in the city, having a frontage of 450 feet on State street, and by the doyple front on Third ave- nue 900 feet on that street. This property, the value of which can scarcely be estimated, was purchased for $193, ‘Another of our substantial men—Mr. Orse- mus Morrison—purehased at the original school sale in 1833 Block 7, School-section Addition, for $61. This. fronts 400 feet on Talsted street and 416 feet, owHarrison street. This property, now subdivi into lots, has a value which, compared with the original cost.to the owner, ‘. _ 18 SIMPLY FABULOUS and beyond estimate. Benjamin Jones, who, from his great wealth and the size and yalue* of the estate which. he left, was dignified with the sobriquet of “Golden Jones,” pur- chased, in 1888, at the original sale of the fots and blocks in the Schooi-Section Addi- tion te Chicago, the whole block on which the new palatial structure is now in course of erection by the United States for Custom- House, Post-Office, United States Courts, éte., for the insignificant sum of $505. This block was ‘sold to the Government immediately after the great fire of October, 1671, with nothing on it but the ruins of the Bigelow Hotel, for $1,250,000. . In illustration of the actual substantial rise in value, and consequent profits on, the real estate purchased at the Canal sales of 1848, being the first sales madé by the. Trustees of the Illinois & Michigan Canal under the re- organization of the canal adininistration,— the experience of Messrs. Macalester, Gilpin & Clarke, of Philadelphia, will be perhaps a fair sample. ‘These gentlemen, contributing in certain proportions to a common fund, MADE A PURCHASE in that year to the amount of about $38,000,— the land lying. immediately south of Harri- son and west of Halsted streets. As their agent Mr. Kerfoot began to make sales for them in.1853, and in the etisuing twenty years had sold for them to the aggregate of upward of $1,000,000, leaving: at that time a handsome residue unsold. ‘In 1854400 feet on Indiana avenue, and the same frontage on Michigan avenue, were bought from the Canal Trustees for a trifle Jess than $800,—-a fraction less than $1 per foot. In 1877,.at pubiic auction, by order of Court, in depressed times, fifty feet of the same property, being part of the Indiana avenue front of it, and having its rear against the rear of Plymouth: Church, sold for $125 per foot, and has changed hands since at $150, During the times of inflation it had been considered worth $200 and even - as high as $225 per foot front. ln the matter of lands lying within the limits of the City of Chicago: Wolcott’s Ad; dition, bounded on the east by State street, and on the west by La Salle, and extending from Kinzie street to Chicago avenue, sold Sept. 29, 1830, for $1.62 per acre, in all $150, and the tract is now coyered with elegant buildings and is WORTH MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, exclusive of those buildings. Newberry’s Addition was among the first purchases of Mr, Walter Li, Newberry, who, dying, was able to leave to the City of Chica- go, for the pupose of founding a library, a sum*surpassing in its magnificence. and mu- nificence even the gifts of Royalty. ‘This tract of land, as those who are ac- quainted with the geography of the city know, adjeins Wolcott's Addition, and, though not quite so desirable as Wolcott’s Addition, makes the ‘driginal investment, of $124, one which, like that of Wolcott’s Addi- tion, searcely holds any relation at all to the present absolute and unquestiona ble valuc of the tract. Several West Side and North Side dry goods houses have been looking for STORES ON THE SOUTH SIDE for some time past, and one, of the principal firms (Schlesinger & Mayer) have at lastse- cured the building on the southeast corner of State and Madison .streets, now occupied by the ‘Wilson Sewing-Machine Company. ‘The lease is made for five years, Extensive improvements will be made on Doth the ex- terior and interior of the building. Among other things an extensive passenger-elevator will be placed in the centre of the building. Itis designed to make the entire front of plate-glass, and to embellish the interior. ‘The lease covers the entire five stories of the building, and itis the intention. of Messrs. Schlesinger & Mayer to make the premises when completed one of the finest retail dry- goods establishments in the country. The cost’ of the contemplated improvements is estimated at $40,000. : ae Barnes & Parish report an increase of 10 per cent in the RENTS OF DWELLING-HOUSES now being renewed.. Tenements are very scarce, A large proportion of tenants now presenting theinselves are new-comers, Messrs. Pierce & Ware have lensed to the Metropolitan Business College the third, fourth, and fifth floors of Rand & McNally’s present building, Nos, 77 and. 79 Madison street, for $3,000 2 year, for five years. They have leased the first and seeond floors of the same building to Messrs. Mantonya & Co., a boot and shoe firm, for $3,000 per year. Messrs, Kohisaat & Co., zephyr and woolen goods dealers, through Pierce & Ware, have obtained a lease of the four-story and base~ ment building No. 118 Franklin street. Messrs. J. C. Sampson & Co. have made THE FOLLOWING LEASES: © For Michael Burke, the four-story-and- basement building Nos. 133 and 135 Wabash avenue, to John M. Graves & Co., wholesale notion-dealers, two years, for $6,000 per. an- num; 126 Franklin street, for Bell, Stoddard & Co., to Joseph SL Peariess, notion dealer, for one year, for $1,§ er year; portion of second floor Nos. 152 and 154 Monroe street, Rand & MeNally* Building, to Berliner & 1 Strauss, of New -York, dealers in gents’ jewelry and neckware, at $1,300 per year; to George Sanborn & Son, of New York, manu- facturers of printing machinery, 154 and 156 ‘Monroe street, for three years, at $3,000. per aunum; for Haskell & Barker to CO.

M. Koedt, im- porter of dry goods, one year, for $000; No. 105 East Lake street to Elliel & Co., tobacco leaf manufacturers; for $3,600 per year. BUILDING PERSOTS for-18S0 are more than 25 per cent greater in number and 50 per cent more in value than those of 1879, In 1879 there were 2,909 per- mits issued for buildings that cost over $6,- 000,000. So far this year 3,743 permits: have been issued, and the value will be 50 per cent greater. The foregoing figures do not in- clude sheds, additions, and other minor im- provements. During the present week only one important permit was issued. “It wag to BML M.

The improvement is from Jackson street to Lake Park place, and the assessinent rolls show a total of $97,944 to be coligcted; for improving the avenue, from | Lake Park place to Thirty-fifth street, an expenditure of $414,590; ‘and for improving Thirty-fith street, from Michigan avenue to Grand boulevard, $49,528, The Chicago City Railroad Company is in earnest about the introduction of the CABLE SYSTEM of city railways, The Council has been asked to permit the change of motive power, and plans have been prepared to make the new improvement at a-cost of $2,500,000, Super- intendent Holmes, of the City Railway, says the new system will bé an immense saving in horsefiesh, in feed, and in the number of em- ployés. The cable takes the place of tha horses, fuel the place of feed, and when horses are dispensed with, the large number of men required to feed them, care for them, arid doctor them, is gotten rid of. It will také just as many ,men—an engineer anda conductor—to run a ear as it does now, but with the cable system two cars can be at- tached to the grip-car and one conductor can collect for all thrée’ The result will be that there will be 4 1 ss NO MORE CROWDED CARS, and the public will‘no longer have any ex- cuse for grumblitig on that score. State street is to be so generally torn up next spring that the Company will probably be unable to run carsthere. While the street improvements are going on, und necessarily interfering with street-car travel, it will probably take advantage of the situation to lay down new tracks, transferring its cars to Wabash avenue.” It will lay the new tracks there, too, and will si KEEP THE CARS MOVING by building a temporary bridge, running them up over it;and then moving it along from the section over which it stood to the next, building a section at atime, and run- ning the cars right:over that section while it is puilding. In this way there will be no in- terruption to travél, and the work will go steadily on. ae With all arrangements perfected in‘ad- vance, the Company will be able to laya block in three or four days when it gets fair- ly started. It will have at least one line run- mung by next fall,,but .probably all of them. Indiana avenue:will_ not. bé improved while there is but one track, with switches and turnouts. The ¢ has got to be continu- ous and in a straij line, and on Indiana avenue that wouldbe utterly impossible.” It is estimated-xthat the Board of Public Works wil want_$1,600,000 to carry on its work, owing to higher prices on tmaterial and the necessity-for the building of many New sewers and intersections dn streets to be improved or repayed. Last year the appro- Briation was about-half the amount. IN. BOSTON, the Boston Commercial Bulletin says, the activity recently noted in city real estatestill continues, and the easier money market, which is expected after the first of the year, wil] undoubtedly furn the attention of in- vestors still more generally toward this class of property. ‘ . Weil-located store. property which will yield a net revenue of 6 per cent cannot fail to be attractive as an investment at the pres- ent time; and desirable mortgages at 5@5}¢ per cent are scarce. ‘Two mortgages of $150,- 000 each were renewed at5 per cent the past week; and small : and ies, Mestranle mort- izes are not plenty at 5¢@6. othe improvement in rentals has extended. to all sections of the city and suburbs. One well-known real estate broker, who makes almost a specialty of large store property; has placed leases aggregating a value ot some $12,000,000 since the first of last July. The average rent of well-located store prop- erty is 8 per cent of its present value, and at this rate the owner nets about 6 per, cent above taxes, repairs, etc. One or two desir- able littlestores have been leased at rentals as high as 11 per cent of their valuation; but, on the other hand, $ per cent has been an outside rate for a large piece of property. “THE TRIBONE BRANCH OFFICE: NORDER TO ACCOMMODATE OUR NUMER- ‘ous patrons throughout the city, we have estab- iished Branch Offices. in the difforent Divisions, as designated below, where udvertisemonts will be taken forthe seme price as charged at the Main Office, und will be rece!wed until 9 o'clock p. m.
