* REAL ESTATE. Great Interest in the Ap- proaching Auction : Sales. ‘First-Class South Side Proper- : ty for the Highest Bidder. > Reminiscences of Important Auc- -. tion Sales in Previous Years. “Sales Last Week of Inside and Sub- urban Property—A Good Demand. Highest Price Yet Paid for : Michigan Avenue ‘ Lots. ? ia Salle Street and the New Board of Trade Building. THE COMING GREAT AUCTIOD SALES. Real-estate-circles are very much interested -in the coming auction-sales of June 29 and July 7%, which have been announced to the public, The first one will be under the au- spices of the Chicago Real-Estate Exchange, and the latter under those of the President of the Board of Cumunssioners of Cook County. Both sales will be of first-el: South Side residence property,—that of June 29 at Thirty-second street,.or South Park and ‘Vernon avenues; ana that of July 7a portion of the well-known Reforin School grounds at Forty-third street, including Jots on Drexel -boulevard, Egandale avenue, and Cottage Grove avenue. Both tracts are accessible by the suburban trains of the Illinois Central Railroad and by the Cottage Grove avenue street-cars. The first sale is of city property, the other of Hyde ark lots,a mile anda nalf further south. The city lots are .to be sold _ abvsolufely without _ re- serve; the Reform School grounds are to have an upset or limit price below which they shall not be sold. ‘The prices are an advance of 20 to 50 per centupon the appraisal made last August by a committee of experts, and it remains to be seen whether such an advance can be sustained. If these upset prices should not be reached thesaleof July 7 would bean abortive one, and the testis to value of Hyde Park lots would be a negative one only. What people would actually give for them would not be known. It is to be regretted that the Board of Cook County Conimission- ers did not take the advice of Tum Trinv: and put a lower upset price on this property, So that competition might have had.a fair oppurtunity to display itself. Low limit prices, if any, are conducive to the best re- sults for the owners of property, and it is well that the sale of June 2is not handi- capped by even the question of what should be the Hmit, but the property is put up for what it will bring absolutely and without reserve. Some criterion may be had of what the Reform School grounds are actually worth by a record of a sale.of a portion of the Bayard tract, just north and adjoining the county property, made in the early spring of this year for $100,000 on long time and Jow rate of Interest. An analysis was made at the time, awi published in this paper, sh inc the fuliowing prices obtained per front- foot on the different streets: Egandale ave- nue, west front, 340; Hyde Park a east front, $3: Drex!'boitlevard, w $0. But it must be recollected that the lots on the Bayard tract are 20 to 50 per cent deeper than those of the county lots, and that the triangular and irregular pieces and those near the railroad are figured much Jower in getting the above average. Mr. Purington, President of the Board, will offi- ciate as auctioneer at the county call of real eon July 7on the premises, the © loners failing to agree upon any _profe: sional to do that service. There will be no free ride nor free lunch at either of these Prominent sales. They are run strictly on the merits of the property, without enticing accessories. Of all the auction sales so far announced by far the most important is that of the old Reform School lands. Pure! are lim- ited to 100 feet’ The sale will be held on the ground, ana will cover the 25 acres in Blocks 3 and 4 of the resubdivision of the Reform-School property, being the south 25 acres of the W. fractional 3 of See. 2, T, NLRs. P.M. The terms of sale are 2 deposit of 10 per vent at once, payment: of one-quarter of the pur- chase money at the time of the perfection of the deed, and the remaider in three equal an- nual payments, with 6 per cent interest, vay- able semi-annualiy, to be seeured by notes and first mortgage or trust-ieed on the prop- erty sold. The following table gives a list of the property with the minimum price fixed dy the Bua: Lots 1 to 14. Lats 15 to 22. Lats 33 to 36. Lots 3; to 44. Block 4. Lots 110 14... Lots 15 to 20.

The. property will be suld subject to the taxes of 1881. Facili- Ues are guaranteed to all purchasers to bor- Tow half the amount of the parchase-money on favorable terms, if so desired. The Chi- cago Real Estate Exchange will issue nego- table certiticates for the 10 per cent part down at time of sale: and for the six daring the life of suid certificates they will be called every Wednesday at the Exchange, for the purpose of buying and selling, and the quotations made will be duly published. The anctiou will be held on the premises at the corner of Thirty-second street and South Park avenue, at 3p. m. om Wednesday, June $9, or in case of id) weather an hour later at the Real-Estate Exchange, 116 and 118 Dearborn street. The property offered is strictly first- class residence lots, and will no doubt tind a ready sale. This is a sale without reserve, there being positively no reserve or with- cranial of the sale on any grounde what- ver, Another auction sale that will be made by the Real-Estate Exchange will be to-norrew, at2p.m., at the north .door of the Court- House, where Mr. Butters will offer for sale Lots ®, 23, 24, 25, and 26, in Block 96, in El ston’s Addition t0 Chicago, being about 142 feet doek front on Nit Branch Canal, by 222 feet deep to Hawthorne avenue, 331 feet on North Branch street, and having a front- aze on. Hawthorne avenue and Chicago & Pacific Raliway track of 350 feet, the site of the former tannery of Etiel, Danziger & Co., which was destroyed by fire. ‘The increase of auction sales of real estate 4s an indication of growing interest in real- estate matters. According to previous ex- petenee: these auction sales are likely to ave great influence in stimulating thé mar- Ket, A great many people are quietly look- ing for investments in land. A suceessful auction sale or two will convince them that the time lias come to buy, unless they wish . to pay still higher prices in the future. ‘The ‘real-estate activity of 1866—1870 was ushered in by the auction sale of Mr. Alex- ander White's property in 1866. auc dion was such a success that it was imme- diately followed ‘by others, and an era of brisk sales and profitable business began that lasted for years. The sale opened at 11 o'clock at the Metropolitan Hall, which was Well filled with buyers and those interested in Chicago real estate, Mr. W. A. Butters was the auctioneer. The first property of- fered was six_ lots on Cottage Grove avenue, near Thirty-iirst_ street. The bidding was rapid and spiriced for one lot, with te priv- ilege of all six. ‘The first lot sold for $42 per front foot. There were parties to take the rest, but there were uot lots enough to go around. ‘They were put up again. One more was sold at S44, and so on until the last lot was sold at S43 per front foot. ‘These prices were over 100 per cent above Mr. White's expectations. ‘Phe sale of these lots established contidence in the sale. A loton the northwest corner of Madison and Lin- coln streets, 100x100, with a frame cottage, sold for $10,500; six lots on Madson, west of adjoining the above, sold as the Gottage. Grove avenue lots, from 353 to $53 pe front foot,—10 per cent above Mr. White’ estimate. The homestead at the southwest corner of Wabash avenue and Tubbard court brought $40,100, 1t was purchased by George B. Johnson for Mrs. Ira Couch. A Jot, 125 feet east front on Wabash avenue, southwest corner of Twenty-third street, sold for $127.50 per foot. A lot, SO feet front op Washington street, west of the Union National Bank, brought 51,335 per front foot. Itwas bought by the late A, D. Reed for the Second National Bank, Forty acres near the Artesian well sold for $400 per acre. Previous to making the sale Mr. White ex- pressed himself as tearful of the results, as nearly all of the real-estate men had couraged him; but he needed money, and he determined to make the sale at all hazards. His expectations were $175,000, If the prop- orty would bring that sum he would be satis- fied. He requested the auctioneer, Mr. Will- iam A. Butters, to see the property to be sold and make estimates of what the whole would bring. Hedidso. The result was an esti- mate of $193,700, with a possibility of $200,000. This opinion was based on the excitement regarding the sale and the inquiries made about it, The resultof the sale was $263,00u, dt began at 11 a.m. and all was over at 2:50 p.m, The was full of buyers, many of the purchasers sold soon at a hand- some profit, Among them was Mr. Wiley M.

In March, the price was advanced to 349,000 with sundry offers at $35,000 to 337,000, and strong intima- uions that 338,000 to $39,000 might be ob- tained. Finally Mr. Frank became the buyer. About the year 1874 some forty feet of this Van Buren street front- age sold for $350 a-front font to Elisha S. Wadsworth, who bought it of Dunean, Sherman & Co., the New York bankers, who got it on foreclosure of the Opera-House Manager, Graw, in ante-lire times. Mr. Wadsworth, who owned also the other portion, borrowed at one time $30,000 on the whole tract just sold, but taxes and interest were too much for him, and it fell by foreclosure into the hands of iis recent owner, an English gentleman—repre: in this city by Messrs. Chandler & Co. have had charge of the property. It is un- derstood that Mr. Frank has also bought the property adjoining this on the: east as as Franklin street for $70,000.

We are informed that the action of the Council in vacating La Salle street for the new Board of Trade will be promptly. fol- lowed by litigation to prevent the vacation from being consummated... This action will be taken by owners of banking and of- fice property adjoining the present Board of Trade. It has not yet been fully decided who will bell the cat, nor in just what way it will be done, but it is probable that an in- {unetion will be applied for, and that the legal fight will be carried on in the United States Court In carrying out this program La:Salle street property-owners are taki great risk: They may by delays’ prevent the Board of ‘frade ‘from occupying. the south end of La Salle street, but they cannot prevent it from moving somewhere, if itis determined to go. LaSalle street property will be worth a great deal more with the Borrd of Trade at the south end of the street than with the Board on some other street. What will these objecting La Salle street litizants think of their shrewdness if the result of their tactics is that the Board of Trade finally leaves La Salle street alto- ether? There are other locations that it can son street east secure, It could go on of the Custom-lHouse. There are several other eligible sites. BUILDING. The building proposed by the Board of Trade-for their new La Salle street location will cost $1,000,000, which is already virtual- ly pledged to the stock of the Building As- sociation, which will be organized to evade the restrictions of the Board’s charter. Com- petitive plans will be called for, and a reward of $5,000 will be offered for the plan to be finally accepted, and $3,000 and $2,000 re- spectively for the rejected second and third best ones. The details, after the acceptance of the plans, will, of course, not be known for sume tine yet. The builting is to cust $1,000,000, however, or thereabouts, is to be 175 feet wide by 225 long,—with a thirty-foot court rupping east and west from Pacific avenue to Sherman street,—and will occupy the northern portion of the block bounded by Jackson str mn the north, Van Buren on the south, Pacific avenue on the east, and Shermin ‘stteet on the west.

In preparing the site for building operations astructure of considerable magnitude (the ld Markoe Touse) had to be taken down, nthis there was a large quaniity of ks available for new Walls; but those who pass that locality. either on foot or on wheels, do not see the huge, unsightly, always obstructive, and sometiines dangerous, piles of bricks and lumber that usuaily incumber the highways on such occasions. “The bricks and other materials are piled on the lot itself, and the highway is left unobstructed and free from danger as before.

The hand avenue boulevard movement is again being pushed by some of the proin- inent residents of that street, who wish to take advantage of the work now being done, to have it extended via Twelfth street and Ogden avenue to Douglas Pai Ashiant avenue (10) feet wide) is being paved from Congress to Twelfth street the full width of the road-bed. and from Twelfth to Twenty-second, a twenty-foot strip. ‘This will enable the large number of business men connected with the immense luuber and mauufacturing interests in the south- western part of the city to drive in a few minutes over a good road to a desirable resi- dence-section, Already Ashland avenue has begun to fill up with a namber of the prom- inent lumbermen, some of whom have bought fine residences there, and others are aboutto build. Mr. A. M. Ferris is to erect a two-story, mans: and cellar gothic residence of Pennsylvania green stone, just north of Van Buren street, facing e : Bruno H.

It is now the only frame in the best block on the avenue, S. G. Hair intends building, just south of Harrison street, a wide brick, of composit style of arehitecture, the leading feature of the front being a fine combination of fancy brick and fire-glazed tile, Willitin Emmet, the proprietor of the y of Music, has purchased the Seaton, pn, corner uf Mirrison street, and 100 nd. He has spent trom $3,000 to in alterations and improvements, itan unusually attractive home, ntire avenue has experienced a great the past year, and, if neighborhood ‘sare true, there will be a larger num- ber of fine residences erected there this. year than ever before. Its great width and strict “building Jing insure its always being éue of the finest streets of the city. THE BELT ROADS. Steady.progress is being made by the Chi cago & Western Indiana Road in obtaining the right of way for their belt road. ‘fhe Chicago & Western Belt Railway Company have thrown the first dirt. They havé put a force of graders to work ona portion pf the located route, extending from the Chicago & Western Railroad, opposit South Chicago, along Seventy-lifth street to the tracks of the Pittsburg, Cincinnati & St. Louis Rail- way, now the intersection of that line with the Wabash. ‘The distance between these two roads is about three miles. Tuhis link of the projected belt road, it is announced, will connect at the east end with ‘the South Chicago branch of the Chicago & Western Indiana Railroad. ‘he projectors state that track-laying will be commenced on the see- tion now being graded in avout ten days or two weeks. nother company, the Chicas Belt Railroad Compan; is reported to have contracted with P. B. Shumway for the construction of a belt road around the city, with round-honse, stations, and warehouses. The contract is said to call, also, for twenty locomotives. The representatives of this company have peti- tioned the Cicero ‘Trustees for the use of Robinson avenue, and h offered to give a $50,000 bond that work ‘would commence within ten days after. the p: ise of the or- dinance, und that the road would be com- pleted within sixty days thereafter. The right of w in Iiyde Park, about five miles in length, has been obtained, and large v rr facilities have been secured from A. B. Meeker, who now controls the Calumet Canal & Dock Compacy. OUR WHOLESALE DISTRICT. Chieago’s wholesale district of the future was described as follows by a La Salle street land-owner in a recent communication to the Common Council: The wholesale business will ere long reach Van Buren street on Market and Franklin strects and Fifth avenue; thence extend eastward on the fine of Van Buren and Jackson streets to Wabash avenue, and thence march southward to Twelfth street, and ultimately occupy the district ineluded between the north Tine of ‘Twelfth street, south line of Van Buren street, and havi Wabash a for its ea important and reasing branch of the eity’s trade, and the district indicated should be now kept free from railroad intrusion as well as Cham. ber of Commerce building, and what powers oe Council have should be exerted to this end, TOWN OF LAK Tp the Eiditor of The Chicugo Tribune. Lake, June 25.—The suit of ‘The People before Judge’ Moran asking for an order upon the Assessor of the Town of Lake for the ussessiment of a large amount of per- sonal property heretofore omitted from tz ation made good progress yesterday. ‘The Court ordered the Assessor to answer under oath on Monday as to why the property was not listed. ‘The suit is intended to settle the question whether the owners of vacant prop- erty shall] be taxed tor the benefit of the Stock-Yards ring, or whether they shall pay for cheir own protection, he vacant lant need no protection, but the Stock-¥ ards do. ‘Then why should they not vay for it? ‘They tax the live-stock interests of the Northwest to pay enormous dividends on their capital, and then virtually steal the inoney to pay for their protection from the owners of vacant lands in the town. it is to be hoped the Courts will put a stop to this wholesale rob- bery. Even the Turkish satraps cannot fur- nish a more glaring specimen of downright rascality. - MLS. BUILDING IN NEW YORK. A New York dispatch states that the de- mand in that erty for bricklayers and masons is so great that men might have been seen at Castle Garden eager to: hire any bricklayers that might be among the immigrants. Wages have advanced to $4 per day, and builders eager to finish contracts on hand before the winter sets in are unable to obtain the neces- sary help. ‘Since the beginning of s there has been a large force of men enzaz in tearing down old houses and preparing tor the erection of improved buildings. The brisk condition of the building trade in Boston, Philadelphia, and as far west. as Cinein nati precludes all hope of relief from these quar- ters. It is proposed by some leading builders to subscribe $5,000, and to offer an advance of 310 apicce to 500 masons in Great Britain, if they can be induced to emigrate. Barguins in Millinery. : Pe ©.
