While the real-estate market shows the ef- fect of the absence from the city of many Jeading business-men, there has been a fair inquiry all the week, and property is tirmly held. Some important transactions are under way. The situation is the soundest that we hhave had uny summer for years, and agents are ooking forward confidently to an active fall business.

AUCTIONS PAST AND TO COME, The sale of lots on Halsted street, between Fifty-third and Fifty-fourth, made on the ground by the Chicago Real-Estate Exchange yesterday afternoon resulted fairly well. Every lot put up was sold, and the prices were regarded as being above those which could have been obtained heretofore, but were not up to the owners’ expectations. Following are the figures: 3 lots on Halsted street, ea} $ lots on Halsted strect, eacl 2 10ts on Halsted street, eaci 1 lot on Halsted street... 2 lots on Hinisted street, each # lots on Emerald avenue, eac! 3 lot on Emeraid avenu i fot oa Emerald avenue.. _ The sale was well attended by those whose ideas have not kept pace with the advance- anent of prices of real estage. The sale was ‘upon the whole considered a succe: ,-it the eleventh public call of the Chicago Real-Estate Exchange the following sales were lade: , Tobey street, 40 feet north of West Polk, West front, 24x115 to an alley, terms cash, ber front fout, $20.3. Fairfield avenue, north of West Lake street, east %3x126 to an alley, per front foot, $12; terms one-half cash and one- half in one and two years at 6 per cent. All who are interested. in Chicago prop- erty, the real-estate fraternity in particular, are looking with a preat deal of interest and some anxiety for the result of the great auc- tion sale at Normal Park which is to take place next Saturday afternoon. ‘The magni- iude of the sale and the publicity which is being given it renders it certain thet its etfect upon the market will be very great. If the sale is successful a great impetus will be Riven to property, especially in the locality of Englewood. Whether 200 residence lots can be marketed in one afterngon is a que: tion, even though the lots be as chvice a th offered at Normal Park. The supply 0 @reat that the buyer will have the ad- untage.+In all probability the great bulk of the Jots will go at the upset price. ‘This muy not meet the wishes of the owner, but it will be a gain for the public. Certainly no one need remain at home through fear that the competition at the bidding willran prices “up above a good investment level. From all ‘hat can be learned of the estate the test could not be applied under more favorable ~ circumstances. Beautiful in itself, welt im- roved, surrounded by a cultivated neighbor- nood, with ample facilities for access to town, and with a low upset price, it will cer- tainly find buyers if any property in the county could. We learn froin Messrs. Turner & Bond and the Exchange that the prosvects are very encouraging; that a great many are making inquiries, and numbers making preliminary visits to the estate every day. Special trains leave at 1 and 1:30 p.m. on the EaStern MWinvis and Roel Island Roads. RAILROADS AT SOUTH CHICAGO. A great deal of excitement has been cre- ated in South Chicago real estate by the ap- pearance of numbers af surveying parties at different points, and real estate agents have been rushing around to get options on all the acres possible. The real facts are much Jess important than the amount of fuss made wquld indicate. The Western Indiana have’ decided to extend its South Chicago branch te Dammond to meet the Chicago & Atlantic. the extension of the Erie, whieh will come over the tracks of the West- ern Indiana into Chicago. The surveyors have all over the country. between South Chicago and Hammond to find a dry fine to Jay their tracks on, and the impression has been spread that there was to be a trunk line through every section, The New York, Chi- cao & St. Louis Road has surveyed its line ulongside the Western Indiana, BUILDL Building in Chicago is still active, though few new enterprises of importance are be- ing mooted. In New York, activity in new building enterprises continues a noticeable feature of the city real-estate market, and the amount of capital that is putinto them is, in the aggregate, very large. Costly pri- yate residences on the avenues and boule- yards are multiplying, yet not more rapidly than first-class apartment houses, which rent nowadays in many eases much beyond the figures which the average brown-stone front used to command when times were not so tush, A seven-story build ing is to be put up im- mediately by Messrs. Fuller & Co., wholesale drugeists. It willbe at Franklin and Ran- doiph streets, on ground 65 by 190 feet in di- mensions, St. Louis pressed brick will be the material.

The Board of Trade has received the title to the site of its new building on La Salle street. Just haw the proposed Buiiding As- sociation is to be formed and how the build- ing is to be done are unsettled points. Some of the Board of Trade men don’t like the idea of paying rent to any association, and have been discussing a plan for building out of - the proceeds of .bunds to be given by the Board, which will in this way not violate the limitation in its charter against owning more than 3200,000 worth of real estate, and yet will keep its rent down fo ie amount of interest payable on the ouds. BOULEVARDS AND STREETS. As it appeared certain to the South Park Board that the contractor could ‘not furnish broken stone for the Michigan avenue boule- yard before September, they advertised last week for 10,000 yards of broken slag-cinder, varying in size from two and one-half to six inches, to be delivered on the work the first week in September. The extension of the Lake-Shore drive to Pine street is almost finished, ane the very beautiful boulevard will soon be open to the public, adding a great deal to the attractions of the North Division. ‘The Council has passed the ordinance for the opening of Unionstreet, between ‘Twelfth and Madison streets, and a mauwmoth plat of it will be lithographed for use in the courts. The street isto be sixty feet wide, and will cut through the public school on Polk street, and through St. Patrick’s Female College on West Adams street. The roll of assessments for damages and benefits is now being prepared. : The contract for paving West Madison street, in front of Central Park, from How- ard to Hamlin avenue, has been awarded by Hig Devartivent of Public Works to MeAdain & Lowell. vd BETLVER TRANSIT AND WORSE. The Western Indiana is pushing ahead with its belt road. It had done the grading for a double track between Auburn Junction and the Grand Trunk Road, and has laid a single track nearly to the Grand Trunk. Some excitement has been caused in Engle- wood by the action of thé Wabash Road in refusing'to stop its passenger trains at Sixty- third street. The Wabash Road uses the tracks of the Western. Indiana at this point, and, as a lessee, is bound both by its agree- ment with that Company and by the ordi- nauces of the town to stop all its.passenger 3 point. easily ba. to W.

The desirableness of Englewood as a sub- urb of Chicago has long been extolled on account of its accessibility, but for some rea- sonithas not advanced in propurtion to some of the other suburbs. Among the drawbacks may be mentioned the lack of 4 sewerage and gas, both of which defects are now to be cured. ‘The prospect of an abund- ant supply of water as soon as,the town shall have separate works trom those of Uyde Park has again brought this locality to the front. ‘The transfer of the Board of Trade toa point opposit the depotof the Lake Shore and Rock Island -Roads makes Engle wood one of the most accessible resi- dent quarters from the business. centre. Prices have - advanced wonderfully, and many are holding on with the expectation of still greater advances. A prominent railroad oflicial, who has a large amount of property on Wabash, Michigan, and Indiana avenues in the vicinity of Sixty- second street, is very enthusiastic over the prospects of a large advance. The auction sale ot Turner & Bond of the oral Ae pronesly opens up another very esiraple locality in this idly i suburb, Englewood ie candy ey tne Lake Shore, Rock Island, Pittsburg .& Fort Wayne, _Eastern Illinois, Grand Trunk, and Wabash Railroads. ‘The Lake Shore and Rock Island Com- panies will soon have: six tracks between Englewood and the city. Each will have three of its own, two of which will be used for passenger travel and the other for the movement of local freight. Englewood will ina Short time, as soon as the arrangements are completed, be the virtual termini of all freight on these two roads. ‘Transfers will all be made at this point, and by aid of the the Belt line of railroad will be forwarded to the different roads without the tedious de- lays of going through the city. | There are nearly fifty ‘miles of transfer tracks here already, and more being added continually. There were in 18S0 428,063,930 pounds of freight transferred at this point, -and this year the amount will be trebled or quadrupled. The Rock Island has a fast Suburban train af handsome cars on its line, steps will be immediately taken | and the Fort sing of putting one to bring the matter before the Board of Rail- | on soon. Wayneiis Glbing of0 ‘ial — LONG BRANCH. ba Gath » gossips in an interesting way con- cerning the development of Long Branch as a watering-place, and as to the appreciation of values there he. states that land immedi- ately on the océan sells for several thousand dollars an acre, and even a mile back from Long Branch brings $750 an acre. All in- vestments there, however, have not turned out happily: “United States Senator John P. Jones paid $20,000 for a tract of three or four acres eight years ago, which cost him with taxes and improvements another $10,000. He sold the whole a fewmonths azo for $10,000 to the agent of a Mr. Cutting. Dut that sale was made under pressure, and it it had been re- tarded to the present time the same land would have brought him full $20,000, Mr. Thomas Murphy has been able through sey eral hard years to keep his farm, which is three miles below Long Branch, and he has now joined it to a smaller tract on the sea- front, and put the whole into a corporation at $750 an acre, which they expect to sell for more than $1,000,000,” THE BREAD BRIGADE. The Goss Bakers Swear to Maintain SUM Rates Uniess Competition Be- comes ‘foo Lively—The Commission Drivers Getting Ready to Demand an Increase in Commisionss. A meeting of the boss bakers was held last evening at the corner of Randolph and La Salle streets. The Secretary read a number of letters from bakers unable to attend, the foliowing sample from one of the largest concerns explaining the situation: “We have cut olf from our bread orders all four-cent (wholesale) bread, and will hereafter make none under 5 cents per loaf. We propose to hold to this price until we find that our competitors are continuing to sell at four. cents, and then we shall be ready to make bread at three cents per loaf. ‘There should be no trouble in maintaining the advance with the present price of imate- rials. We would suggest the propriety of your Association ‘adopting some measures towards having all parties Who continue to make light-weight bread—i. e., bread weish- ing less than one pound per loaf when Bi ked—prosecuted to the full extent of the law. PICK UP THE STRAGGLELS. Considerable discussion ensued as to how to secure harmony of action, and the follow- ing Comunittee was appointed to wait upon the bakers who have not entered into the movement, and endeavor to secure their co- operation. Messrs. Kadish, Campbell, Bur- meister, Voltz, Piper, William Smith, Schultz, and Ganser, _ The scale of prices adopted at the last meet- ing was formally ratified. These prices are embodied in the following agreement, which has been signed by nearly all the bakers: We, the undersigned, bread-bakers of Chicago, agree not to sell under the following wholesale prices on and atter Monday, Auc. 1, 1881: Rye bread single toaf, six cents, double loaf, twelve cents. No white bread weighing one pound under five cents per loaf. Buns, rolls, cakes, and fried cakes, ten cents per dozen. Pies, twelve cents each, The meeting then adjourned until Fuesday evening. HE DRIVERS WANT MORE, TOO. ‘The Commission Drivers’ Protective Asso- ciation—an ovtgrowth ot the baking trade— held another meeting last night — in the hall at No. 221 West Madison street, W. LL Flint presiding. ‘The attend- ance was small, and most of the time was taken up in arranging for amendments to the constitution and by-laws—for the organiza- tion is a new onc—and issuing cards of mem- bership. It was decided to take no definit action relative to securing AN INCREASE OF COMMISSIONS from the bakers until such‘time as the Asso- ciation should include at least two-thirds of all the commission drivers in the city. A commission of 15 per cent is now allowed the drivers,- but they want it increased to 20. Aside from being allowed a commission on their purchases, the drivers aso sell at a profit, and, inasmuch as the bakers have raised their prices, the meeting last night ap- pointed a Conmnittee to fix up a schedule of prices for the drivers. Che meeting then ad- journed until next Saturday night at 9 o’elock. c THE STATE'S ATTORNEY. Resume of His Work Since December Last. State's-Attorney Mills bas bech busy during the vacation of the Criminal Court in making up areport of the business transacted since the beginning of his present term of office, dating Dee. 1, 1880. It will be remembered that the last Legislature considered tho question of calling for such a report from State's Attorneys . throughout tho State, but took no action, though subsequently the County Board asked for sucha report by resolution, and this will be the first mide, and which will be given to the County Commissioners xt their meeting to-morrow. ‘The stitute allows to the State's Attorney of euch county a fee of $15 for every conviction of 2 felony, and $10 for misdemeanors, which fees are to bo paid from moneys collected from tines, Yorfeitures, ctc., the etfect of the report being. so fur as the Commissioners are concerned, to show the tluancial relation between the State, county, and the State’s Attorney. The table prepured by Mr. Mills gives the name of every person convicted, the crime, the date of the conviction, and the disposition of ench case by tho Court or jury, from which it appears that there were in all 48 convictions from the Ist of December to the beginning of tbe vacation in July, which were disposed of by sending 228 to the Penitentiary, 159 to tho House of Correc- tion, Gitothe County Jail, 38 tothe Reform School, and the fining of 30 persons. The Court, in seventy-six cases, suspended sentence. There iga considable number in which new trials have been granted, which cases, however, are notincluded in tbe report. The crime of lur- ceny, including ‘embevziement.und larceny as bailee, leads tho Hst, for which there were 331 convictions; burglary comes next, with 115 con- vietions; assaults) with the intent to and ~ with me intent to in- ict bodily injury, 53. Of convictions cuses ot homicide there were 10, ns fe Redney Burns, 14 years; John Murphy, 1% yea Frederick Guinan, 1 year; Charles Enrll,5 years; John Oliver. lite-sentence; Charles Hirschinan, 3y 3 Charles Moeck, 10 years; James Burke, Syeurs; John Hofstetter, year; Edward Pow- ers, 20 years; Peter Savage, 4 years Reform ool. Of robbery there were 38; malicious mischief, 10; riot ing liquor to minors and drunkards, 6; abortion, 1; elec- ing money by false onfidence gumy , 8; cruelty to el a t pretenses, 2; conspiracy, receiving’ stolen prop r dren, 1. The terms of imprisoument are shown to range from ong day in tho County Juil to imprisonment in the Penitentiary for life. Tho total of sentences foots up: Peni- tent 4i9,.7car3; House of Correction, 83 years; County Jail (tho large majority of sen- teuces to whith were for less than 20) days), 40 months.and 3 weeks; Reform School, 75 years; mukinga complete total of 6 years 10 months and 2 weeks, and one life-term. ‘The report so fur is incomplete In one impor- tant particular, failing, a5 it does, to present n financial showing,—that is, the amount collected by Mr. Mills from forfeited bonds and tines, — and — the amount due him by the State..

Aregular monthly meeting of the Coal Ex- change was held yesterday afternoon at the Grand Pacific Hotel. No change was made, in prices. Reports were received showing that the stock on hand is not more than one-third what it was last yeur at this time. The receipts have been heavier, but a vast amount has passed be- yond the city, leaving the stock here depleted. ake freights have advanced from 7 cents in May to $1.25 at the present date, and the mem- bers. of the Exchange predicted that if rates beld as at present, the price of coal would go up from See 3D tO $7.50@3.00 before the end of ‘August. Thus consumers may see that the price of coul will depend on the maintenance of the present stiff rates oflake freight. No real busi- hess was transacted at the meeting of the Ex- change yesterday, but there was a general tend- ency to hold up rates and avoid the taking of season contracts. =, a A Plucky Woman Editor. _ Colorade JMning Journal.
