THE MARKET. ‘There probatly never was such activity in Chicage real estate at this Ume of the year, even in the palmy days just preceding the financial smash-up of 1873, as exists just at present. For the past ten days of this month —and two of them were not reallybusiness days—the recurded sales were over $2,000,000, while-tor the entire month of July, 1890, they scarcely went beyond $2,100,000. This activ- ity is not confined to any one class of prop- erty, butextends up and down the whole gamut, anda cheerful feeling among agents and dealers is noticeable everywhere. The abstract firms are from 800 to 900 orders behind, it is said, in consequence of the inordinate rush to which they have been subjected, und the insufficient means at hand to meet that rush. The disposition to buy seems to be constantly develuping instead ot falling off, and, wile there have ‘been no ex- traordinarily large individual sales during the week, the run of trade has more than kept up, and the situation is as encouraging as it could possibly be. The advance in the cost of building materials, while it has ae- terred some froin buying lots, and rather turned their attention towards improved property, has by no means put a stop, and hardly a check, to building operations throughout the city. In short, real-estate dealers, agents, buyers and sellers are just now engaged in making all the hay they can. while the summer sun shines, and the re- turns, as far as they are in, would seem to indicate that their efforts have been crowned with unusual success.

The Welsh Presbyterian Church, corner of Sangamon and Adams streets, has been raised one story, and a Sunday-school room is to be built underneath. A parsonage ad- joming the church will also be built, A wealchy North Sider has given a lot to St. Thomas’ Church, and the parish will soon erect a handsome place of worship on Indl- ana avenue uear Twenty-ninth street. ‘The'walls of the new City-Hail are com- pleted to a hight four feet above the county’s: portion, and the structure will probably be ready for the roof by Aus. L ‘The First Congregational Church proposes to spend about $28,000 this summer in re- pairs to its building and in the erection of a pastor’s study In the court-way on Ann street. The work will be commenced im- mediately, and: will probably be completed when the pastor, the Rev, Mr. Goodwin, re- turns from his summer vacation.

The work of laying the northernmost foundation, in the alley just north of the puilding, has already begun, and a number of twelve-feet square stones taken out of the ofd north wall have been set apart for what will certainly be about as massive piers as ever ko into a building. It will be two weeks yet, und per- haps more, before the site is dismantled of the old Pust-Oilice building and the actual work of erecting its successor fairly begins. ‘The following were the principal huildi perinits issued during the week: Marsha Field, four-story brick sible, WOxlvl feet, Pucitic avenue, near Van Burnen strect, $25,000; Alex King, three-story brick store and dwelling, 48x75, Nos. 330 and 332 Division street, $8,000; J.

Attention is called to the superior line of real-estate advertisements contained in to- day’s Tribune. Persons desiring to buy will have no difficulty in discovering good Opportunities for safe and paying invest- ments, B ‘The City Law Department, in conjunction with the Commissioner of Public Works, has been directed by the Council to prepare a proper ordinance exempting such charitable institutions us in their judgment are entitled to relief from the payment of water taxes. The judgment for delinquent taxes for 1880 and prior years, obtained in the County Court. jast Wednesday, is roughly estimated to cover about S7W0,0v0, of which $500,000 is on account of general taxes, and $200,000 on account of special assessments. In former Years, the judgment has run up into the mnillions. Phe drop is a pretty good indlea- tion that the day cf tax-fightung, as that amusenjent was once conducted, has passed. ‘The Couneil, by ordinance, has authorized the Mayor and Comissioner of Public Works to enter into a contract on behalf of the city for two pumping-engines to be used at the. West Side Pumping-Works. Each engine is to be of sutlicient cavacity to raise 15,000,000 gallons every, twenty-four hours to the hight of 150 feet above the city datum. According-to the City Engineer's estimates, the new pumping-works ‘will cost $717,990, und are tu be paid for out of the surplus of the Water Fund. ‘The Towa of Lake is threatened with a earthqua , doesn’t c.early appear, for either one of those events is in.as muen danger of commg to pass as the revolution which be seems to think itin his power to raise. Why there should be any objection on the part. of anyodody to a pkin which, if carried out, will not only increase the water-supply in the business section, but will also palpably diutuish the fire hazard, it is diificult to conceive. A brief consideration ot the disadvantages of the present system, contrasted with those which will follow the adoption of the proposed nish-pressure works, will show how baseless any such ob- jections are, . ‘The present theoretical pumpine capacity of the Chicago Water-Works, when every engine is in use, is about 104,000,000 gallons berday, The amount now pumped, during portions of very hot or very cold days, Is over 8u,000,00 zallons, leaving the city practically without any reliable reserve. ‘he new West Side pumps have a capacity of avout 30,000,- Ow galions. 1t will be nearly, if not quite, two years. however, before they are at work. ‘The demand for more water will increase ag rapidly as 15,000,000 gallons yearly, so that_ when the new works ate in place, the city will be as badly off as now. Milwauxee ex- perienced no less a calamity than a water famine on account of the breakage of one en- gine. If the large engine at the Chicago Water-Works should break, this city would bein the same condition. The city has no money, and what is worse, no power to bor- row any, to increase: her supply by new tnn- nels or more new pumps. ‘Fhe question then arfses, What shall ve done? ‘There Is a growing detand for water to operate elevators, and about 200 are new run by city pressure. Water is atso demanded under high -prencate for other mechanical purposes, and is also needed in the upper stories of all high buildings. Seeing this alarming situation, and appreciating if nore than the public do. Mayor Harrison proposed. to allow a private company the necessary privilege of going out into the basin or lake and procuring water fit for all but culinary and domestic uses, and to lay down separate. pipes in the business district, with independ- ent works to supply this water under high pressure forall mechanical and other uses except culinary and domestic purposes. ‘The Company, of course, was to be under broper restrictions "as to __ prices, and the city to have option to buy the’ w after tey years. ‘The owners of a very we pact of thesproperty in the business district 3 A - sizned a petition asking the Council to grant | Water funine.. ‘he eapacity of the present these rights, Evidently the property-holders | Works for che rapidly increasing demands for water in Hyde Park and Lake tirely in- adequate.
