iG A CHAPTER ON RENTS. The Basis and Quality of Rental Values in This City Considered. THE GREAT UPTOWN MOVEMENT Past, Current and Prospective Changes in Trade Centres. A NEW TENEMENT HOUSE DISTRICT. Offices to Rent and Suggestions for Downtown “Flats.” A SHIFTING MARKET. ‘The question of rents is one of particular interest ‘at this time. The annual fitting which has come to ‘de one of the features of New York life is, however, by no means so exclusively ‘to the manner born” here as our tired nomads so often proclaim. An incident within the writer’s knowledge in a town something over five hundred miles away, where a similar ill custom prevails, illustrates both the sym- pathy of other peoples with this failing of ours, and points an instructive moral in the same con- nection, “I have been sent to you, Mr. -——-,” said a stran- ger in the town we have referred to, “by Mr. —, as being a person who could recommend me a desirable residence; he says you have lived in 80 many parts of the city that you probably know more on this subject than any man I can find.’” “Indeea,” said the party interrogated, with a suspicious smiie, “I am sorry to disappoint Mr. ——'s expectations, but you must tell him that really ne could not have made a greater mistake chan to credit me with the knowledge suggested. The fact is 1 have never lived long enough in any house to find out its good qualities, aud must there- fore decline to assume tue responsibility whicn a eompliauce with your request would impose.”” But to return to New York. THE MIGRATORY DISPOSITION ts not confined to householders, but is equally moticeable in business circles, and, indeed, vir- tually has iis inception there. Although we are accustomed in familiar conversation to speak of New York in rivairy with the great cities of the O1d World, the majority of which, it is true, it in many points excels, yetia reality New York retains even to-day many of the 1eatures oi a frontier town. We have no relerence In this Lo the prevailing lawless- mess, tne barbarian splendor of such men as Tweed and Fisk, belonging to a society but yet impertectly brought ito vhe subjection of complete cultiva- taon, bat to the variety of nationalities represented 4n its population, each in turn asserting particular Prominence, or other evidences of imperfection in Atg institutions. The shifung character of business im respect to locality evidences quite suficiently that we are in A TRANSITION STATE, Deduced irom this cause and effect we have in Aogical sequence the full explanation of our annual disturbance, the root of which is expansion, The growth of New York being restrained in one direction as business increases and its requirements Cail for more space, population 1s necessarily pushed up the sland in order to secure the required accom- Modation. ‘This 1s the primary law of rental devel- Opment of previously unused or unprofitably Used places within the area of the city. There are other Influcnces operating to modify this movement ‘which have each their separate share in affecting values, First in its miluence upon real estate ‘values ag represented by reatal income, and most promineni in the commercial growth and prosperity of New York, 13 THE DRY GOODS TRADE. By this we mean the wholesale or jobbing trade. What the Stock Exchange is to the numerous financiai schemes aud monetary undertakings which Qua their tnermomeirical expression and baromewe cal caution and assurance in the dealings there te dary gouds trade w to the various commercial and manufacturing interests of this country, Tnus the bignest rental values of business property are obtained in that locality re- Cogniged’ as the centre of the dry goods trade, always now presumably including and relative toa portion of Broadway, which street may be regarded a6 a sort Of Mississippi in the commercial flood of New York, inversely, however, feeding various Supplementary channels of activity with the over- flow Of its opulent excitement. People are yet living who may remember when this trade was conined to the neighborhood of Peari and Soutn William streets, and successively in Pine, Cedar, doin ana William streets, ‘his Was in tne early days of the metropous, contemporary wita the days Ol Old Juan Jacop Asior, VHE FIRST IMPORTANT MOVEMENT responsive w the awakening impuise which has given sew York the commercial pre-eminence 1t Mow enjoys, lollowed tue opening of the krie Canal, Wich brougut tae Whole business of the tue Serior down wo Us city as Wwe great distributing depor, aud iocated tne ury guvds centre on the west side of Broadway 1 Dey, Cortlandt, Liverty, Fulton aud tae streets runing paraliel therewith Bad alright angies ty ‘rowwway aod the Norta River. ‘ibe direction thus given to business expan- sion has been since singularly adhered wo in we steady extension of trage lumits nortnwaraly along the line of Broudway to the gradual and sul grow: ing negicct, as Will be seen hereaiter, of the eust side, ine reason of ubis preference, Which tne west glue then obtained ana has sice Leid, Will be read- ily perceived by areiercuce to tie map of the cly, in the Continuous sireets ruuning north and south parallel tv tie great Woroughfare, as compared with the divergent wirection of We sireets on Lhe east side, represenling liere the gure of a great counter, to Which come to be served, irom the West and South, over the tunes of railroad that nave their termini along tue river's irout, the city’s best customers, ‘Yue change 0! the dry goous business from the east to the west side Raving become an accomplisaed fact,as above noted, street aller street was grad- ually entered and occupied by jobbers—Barclay, Murray, Warren, Chamvers and Reade streets, wiih College piace aud Courch street, mcluaiug that por- tion ol Broadway adjoming, being tous successively reached. About 1861 THE SECOND GREAT MOVEMENT of the trade, Wuich was marked by unportany real estate changes, occurred in the openiug ol H, B. Clafin’s hew store in West Broadway, whither the ‘m of Claflin, Mellen & Co. moved from the Trinity juilding. ‘he restiess spirit of the jobbers had already . carried some of them as Pugh up as Duane and Worth streets, following in the wake of the hotels, but with Ciaf- lin’s location in West Broadway a new centre was recognized around which tue trade rapidly ciustered. Church street at that time in this neigh- Vorhood was about the most worthless property in @ne city, being principaily made ‘up of wretched tenements, but tuese were quickly torn down pnd their sites occupied by magpincent Warehouses, ‘that were rented even before completed. 0, too, ‘with Worth, Leonard, Franklin, Waite, Walker and Lispenard streets, Uaual street serving to mark the limit of uptown progress. Some four or five years Qgo a fresn agitation was provoked by the need of more room, and @ further move was actively can- ‘vassed, This, however, did not suit the views of ythe property owners within the district previously ymenuoned, who had expendea large sums of money for wnat they had improvements mot yet regained; hence in order to head off thts dis- tion lor @ change Until such time as they had @ legitimate returu upon their investments they purchased the hospital grounds, upon which they erected several biocks of fine stores, which “were rapidly taken up and for a ume stayed the threateved Movement. It bas since, however, been developed with greater erergy, and, from removals ‘Which have already been mide and others contem- Plated, would seem to point out BROOME STREET AS THE DRY GOODS CENTRE OF THB . PSRIOD. In Mercer and Greene streets good paying tene- Ment houses have been recenily taken downand seven story, iron front buildings put up instead, in response 10 these indications. Among other evi- dences that such moveme' has already commenced we have the following er already made or to be made — this spring by 1eading houses:—White, Brown & Co. yeave their present place of business, in Daane street, and remove tu Broome street. Metz, Vleve & Co. have just moved to the corner of Canal and Wooster streets. Bartiett, Beery & Co, remove from No. 412 Broadway, east side, below Canal street, to the west Bde of Broadway, near Prince street. Ourran, Goodwin, Walker & Co. dissolve partnership, and a ortion of the firm will occupy the new building ios. 476 and 478 Broadway, between Grand and Broome streets, A. Rusch & Co. remove from Duane w Broome street, Almost the first, if not the first, to eg do ‘his change of base were Cochran, MoLean & Co., who occupied Brooks’ building on Broadway, corner of Bruome stteet, immediately Upon Brooks Bros,’ removal to Union square, for Walch they pay the enormous rental of $128,000 | mi NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, PHBKUAKY 23%, 1872,-TRIPLE SHEET. annum. The 8 a five brown Eons, occupying three on Broadway, and run- mn tO ony. street, Messrs. hran, & Co, sub-let 8 portion of it to another firm. THE WIGHEST RENTS OF BUSINESS PROPERTY are obtained from the dry trade, Leases here generally run for seved years, and sometimes ten, and tue rent 1s usaully apportioned so tnat in that time the lot and builcing teased, with mterest on the money inv y be Subsequently rentals are graduating scae downwards; honce the necessit oO the revarn of the capital out of the a lease. Spring, or at most Prince, street marks the earns limit of these preferred values with that of wholesale wade. BEYOND PRINCE STREET AND UP TO STEWART’S values are unsettled, this part of Broadway being in a transition state, passing from the occupation of retali dealers, and not yet wanted by wholesale men. Besides, too, the character of much of tne business now located here 1s of a nature to affect property ualavoravly—viz., gambling hells and dis- reputable saloons. ‘Murderers’ block’? also 18 not a desirable locality at present. Following IN TH8 WAKE OF THE DRY GOODS HOUSES, as they move up town, come in succession other branches of business, obe' the same gene- ral law which seems to direct all the grow*h of the city, Coming tirst are the cloth and woollen houses, and immediately after them te manutactorers of Teady-mave clothing, the same buyers from the South and West secking each trade. Rents in the case of these trades, as was velore noticed, are not 43 good as among the dry goods houses proper, and decline in proporuon as the distance 1s marked from that wade centre. ‘I'he boot and shoe trade, now cniefy located in Warren sirect, following behind the ready-made clothing, has also commenced an uptown movement, and some ol the largest houses are now located in White street, THE HARDWARE TRADE, which has so loug appeared tixed in the neighbor- hood of Beekman, Cl and Gould streets, ts rapidly shifiing to the wert side of broadway and locaung in Warren, Chambers, Keade,aud even a3 bigh up a3. Duane street, Ove of the largest houses in the trade, Hermann Boker & Co., of Nos, 43 and 50 Clit street, has just completed a building in Duane street, On Lhe hospital grounds, 50x100 ivet, Cham. bers street Irom broadway to College place is now nearly all hardware, ‘I'nts movement in particalar affects Values in the localities where the trade was formerly located, and in the case of the outidings vacated on the east side rents have decreased vnurty, and even in some cases, sixty per cent. MINOR MOVEMENTS are noticeable also in the case o: the ai trade, which appears to be shifting /rom Cedarand Wiliam sireets to Liberty, Dey aud Cortlandt streets, west ot Broadway, Wille there are aiso indications of the movement, at no distant period, of tue jewelry and plated ware business, now so disunctive a feature of Join street and Maiden lane, to the neighborhood of Boud street. ‘A MORE IMPORTANT CHANGE, however, than tlese last mentioned 18 proposed as & consequence of the decided tendency wuich nas been exutbited during the past few years of whole- sale business to move to the west side. The result Of Some Of the Movements above Noted has been to depreciate tue reatal vaiue of buildings on the east side, notably in Front and Wailer streets, trom Peck slip ‘to Broad street. ‘nere being nov suficient business to create a demand for these buildings, even for use as storehouses, the Brooklyn and Ked Hook stores afiording ample accbumoda- Uon Of that description, it 18 proposed to alter them into tenement Aouses, as the means of turning them again to proiivabie use, LIne idea is a most excellent one and sould be carried out timediately, That it would pay there can be no question of doubi— and, indeed, 11 13 aboul the only chance aftordea— while 1t would be a great reel to many Lamiues now compelied, irom the naiure of tueir avocauons, to live in over-crowued tenement houses eisewnere gown town, for Which museravie quarters tey are charged exorbitant rents, MORE TENEMSNY HOUSE SPACE down town 13 a greai need in New York, as any one Can reailze vy & stroll at night past the great tene- ment houses tn the Hirst, Fourtit and Sixih wards; or standing at the Hawliton avenue lerry of au evening in noting the crowd of laboring men who cross that ferry to almost as miserable quarters in South Brookiyu. ‘There are thousands of men who cannot live any distance away trom their work down town, at preseut without the means of ob- tainiug the proper jodgings which the enforcement Of @ strict sanitary system with respect to the dwellings of tue poor Would require them to nave, and any mesure looking to an amelioration of their condition 10 tis respect would be & public beneit, AS we said velore, the scheme proposed cannot but result profitably, and can scarcely be too ex- vensively carried out. The bill, “OFFICES TO LET in this balding” is lixely to be a prominent sign- board this year in the neiguborhood ot tue City tial, ‘Lhe location of the new Post Ollice in the Park for some mysterious reason has moved property owners | in that vicinity to ater their buildings ito offices, while many new buildings now golug up are being fitted up in that way. Among these is a building, aimost completed, on the corner ot Park place and College Place; also a building belonging to the Secu- rity Fire Insurance Company, on the corner of Park piace and Broauway; also # building on the coruer Ol Reade sireet and Broadway; ulso a DuL.ding on tue corner of Pearl sireet and Broadway; also a build- ing belonging to Judge Whiting, 60xi25, on the corner of Leonard street und Broadway. Every man in Fuiton, Vesey and Murray sireets, Park place und Chambers sireet, west of Broadway, is possessed with the idea ol making his torvune, renting otlices when the Post Office 18 completed. Wience the tiusion 1 is diitcult to tell; but that it will be speedily dispelled there can ve nd doubt, Some few oilices may find teuants, but cer- tainly not more than niue-venths of those being repared, unless, a8 18 proposed, the Keai Estate eXchange should remove to the Astor House. ‘ihe rotunda of that building would make a fine sales- room, Then there might be some retovais {rom Pine and Cedar streets; but even these would not be many. Asan evidence of how little benetit may be looked for trom the Post Oilice, 11 may be meu- tioned that Pine and Cedar strecis now offer ainong the cheapest rents i the city. ‘These vacant offices, however, might still pe put to profitabie use, UM fitted up as apartments for a superior class of tenants to those Who usually congregate in tene- ment houses, who would be glad of a deswrable resi. dence in New York city, convenient to business, at @ reasonavie rent. There are many such, and many a@loit now vacant in fine buildings down towa might be thas utilized, GENEXAL OBSERVATIONS. : Having in view the iacts above mentioned, the question of reuts becomes one of very simple de- duction, ‘This has reterence, of course, to busiess property, which only at this time iurnishes te necessary data upon which to found an intelligent Judgment. Aithough the 1st of May occupies the same prominence in the matter of removals in business circles as amoug householders, yet in the case of the former there is a sufficient proportion of leases entered upon on the 1st of February to deter- mine the general character of the rent market. Judged by Uils standard we find that RENTS HAVE NOT DECREASED, nor do they show in general any immediate disposition that way. The new dry goods leases mostly show am advauce of thirty per cent upon the previous renials as the trade movos upward, As @ sample of the fecling in tno ket the leases belonging to tne Lorillard estate, numbering about one hundred, show generally a sligit increase. The proportion of February leases to the yearly rentals is avout one-tuird of the whole number. In respect to the May leases parties are yet holding oft, LOFTS are dimcuit to rent, even in the best iocalities, Where tne stores and first foors are rapidly taken up. Many-of these jofts have been ewpty for inree years, and yet jind no bidders. In this Conaecuon the suggestion given avove concerning apartment houses 1a the neighborhood Of the Uity Hail 13 also pertinent. WALL STREET RENTS do not seem to promise any 1mporiant changes, and it 18 probable there wiil be jewer removals tis year than last. The proposed erection of a mam- moth building in Broad street, opposite the Stock Exchange, to extend from Wall street to Exchango piace, is yet without influence upon rental vaiues in this neighbornood. We are noi of those who regard this_new enterprise as offering suci a certainty of profit as others. ‘There is ample office room conve- ment to the Stock Exchange now for ali the require- ments of the men who do business there, and the new building 1s likely to olfer more room of that kind than will be needed. The upper stories cer- tainly cannot bo regarded as destrabie for brokers’ or bankers’ Offices. Notwithstanding this prevail- ing steadiness we cannot but think that THE OUTLUOK POINTS TO A DECLINE in nearly all rental values in the city at no distant day. is Will be brought about, not from any jall- ing off of the commercial prosperity ot the city, but as @ consequence of the settlement of business into localities farther up town, admit of freer ex- pausion, which will ultimately result from the snift- Ing of business now going on. The popular idea that New York is overcrowded 1s only true of dis- tricts. Inere is yet ample space on the island, if properly utilized, tor ail the needs of metropolitan owtn for the next ten years. The movement of usiness to the west side of the city, and its gradual extension northwardiy, promises to secure this de- sideratum. ‘This movement may continue for some time yetin that direction without crowding tae inhabitants of the isiand, who have plenty of room in the region of Wasnt! 1 Heights for their ocou- ation and residence. in this way we look to see e wholesale ay goods trade in time permanentiy located about Fourteenth street, University piace and the lower part of Fifth avenue. ample 8} upon broad streets and thoroughfares, there wi less need to pay the high rentals now asked in more cramped I ities and with the trade a fixture a corresponding decrease in rents must follow. We have already noticed the !mportant in- fluence which Messrs. Claflin & Co,’s removal from the Trinity Building to West Broadway exercised. While that firm remains in the store they now occupy the movement up town will halt short of end we have pointed out, and be to some extent spasmodic and irregular. But when Claflin & Co. move again, as they must inevitably in the course ofa couple of years at the furthest, they will again fix the location of the trade centre, That move, when it takes place, will be to where we have sug- gested, There 1s nothing further to say,at present upon the subject of rents In respect he od wx HOUSES AND RETAIL STORES ‘the market is yet undectded. ‘There 1s the usvai en- deavor among the tenant class to secure eneaper rents, and the same disposition among landlords to withhold any concessions. The result will, a8 ia former years, depend largely upon individual means and needs, and can acarcely be brought within the scope of any general observation. One thing 18 certain, however, that high priced houses must not only this year, but for some years yet, go begging for occupants at former rentais, while houses ranging from $1,600 to $3,000 will be fa demand. In the matter of the high priced houses the influences operating t depreciate Here, with thetr value that were so marked last year have been Increased this year by the defeat of the Tammany Ring. ‘The gigantic stealings which were carried on under the Tweed regime furnished the means of luxurious ltving to many Who will now be compelled to curtail their expenses and temper their future existence with more .moderate indulgence. It Should also be borne im mind that the reckless ex- peace of the Tammany thieves produced an in- peel $2 real estate values and Sumiaiates | ane y' ie ordinary juirements toa, With the inverraption of thts circulation of ready money ht about by them must come & Feaction which will be mainly felt in this direction.

Tals course of the Continental markers—the unusual circum- Stance that Germany and France were imporung instead 01 exporting Wheat—stimulated speculation * in Great Britain and the United States, and other- Wise contriouted to @ state of afairs under which our wheat markets have been struggling ever since. England, somewhat aiarmed, put torta prodigious eflorts to secure supplies, and the Cousequence was prices Were advauced in the lace of increasing sup- Diles, wito latverly & corresponding diminut.on of demand, On the bellei, however, wat tue supply 1s. really deficient, prices have been maintained with much firmuess in our markets; but stocks 1 store have not materiaily dimiuished, and in view of ali the circumstances the tucure of prices ts involved in muca doubt. Letus look for a moment at the quesuon of supply. ‘The following wii show tne upproximate stocks Of Wheat In the ieading markets ol Whe world, on the Ist of January, for two years:— 1871. 1872, Bushels.

NORTH CAROLINA BONDS, New York, Feb, 21, 1872. To THe Epiror or THs HERALD:— ‘The attention of the public has been called, by the money articles in the HERALD and other news items, to the proposed doings of the present Legislature of North Carolina in reference to her debt. One would suppose that the State had been gulity of sins of omission enough in neglecting to provide for the imterest on her debt; but I take it that the proposi- tion to “scale it’? will be looked upon by the out- side world, and even by many of themselves, as of all scaly things the scaiest. Perhaps you remember the time when the “special taxes” were put on the market, heralded by messages {rom Governor Holden and other communications to the public, that tiese bonds Were a good Investment, and would be paid in mmuaner and form and acvording to tucir letter und spirit. Again, nai Uey were endorsed by the New York Stock Exchange as “a good deuvery,” and finaly conlirmed oy tue paymeut by tue State Treasurer of the first coupon upon maturity, Under these cir- cumstances can it pe wondered at tiat the public took them?

OPENING OF AN ORGAY. On Monday evening a fine organ was opened in Trinity chapel, West Twenty-fitth street, by the organist of tne chapel, Walter B, Gilbert. The organ ‘Was built at a coat of $10,000 to the Trinity corpora- tion, who returned their old organ, valued et $7,000, to the puilders of the new instrument, Messrs. Odell & Co. Tnis would make the entire Cost of the new organ about $17,000, ‘The exercises on the evening of the opening were as follows:— Introductory Srgan Voluntary; Processional Hymn, “Hark | the Sound of Lloly Voices; Psaim from the Psalter—Psalm 132; Lesson, “The Magnificat;’” Anthem, “Glorify tie Lord,” W. B, Gilbert; Address by Key. Dr. Dix. Ascription, “Thou Art Worthy O Lord;” hymn, “On, Praise the Lord in that Blest Piace:” Recessional Hymn, The Church's on a Foun- dation;” Concluding Organ Voluntary. Tne organ is one of the most magnificent ever made in this country, and the congregation were delighted and charmed with 1ts richness of tone and volume of sound. Some of the principal organists in New York bave been invited to play privately on the organ to test its power, imciudmg G. W. Morgan, Pro- fessor Berge, Dr. Schuyler, the celebrated fugue player, SP. Warren, Proiessor Gomein, Dr. Pech and others. A BEAR FIGHT IN PENNSYLVANIA. The Williamsport (Pa.) Gazelte says:—A gentle. maa reached Williamsport on Friday evening last froma “logging camp" Ip Potter county, Who relates the particulars of an exciting encounter with an old bear and two cubs, It appears wat a man bamed Josepn Etlmaker and his wife had made a small clearing in Jacksoa townsitp, They have a com. fortable log cabin, @ small barn, several nead of cattle and afew pigs. About nine o’clock on the evening of January 31 Mr. Elimaker heard a great commotion among his vattle and pigs at the barn. On rushing out to ascertain the cause, linagine his surpriso On finding that an old bear and two cabs had attacked a yearling call. ‘Tne bear had throwa the calf down and was preparing to drag it out of the yard. ‘The cabs were rauuing around snapping their teeth and uttering ball snppressed growls OL delight at the prospect of a good “square meal.’’ wr. Klumaker returned to the house at once and made preparations to attack the bears. He seized his rifle, while his wile armed herselt wiih a long: handled donbie-bitted axe. Thus armed they ad- ‘the bears, made bold and did nob seem imelned prey. Kistng upon her haunches the oid bear showed figut, and te cubs crouched venind ber, suaring tlercely, Mr. Elimaker ratsed hus rifle and fired ab the black monster, tiinking that if she were killed te cups could be easily despatched or driven of, Bat he missed his aim, and ouly broke the sore paw of the animal. With a nerce growi oi rage the old bear rushed at her assailants, tollowed by the cabs. ‘Puey stood their ground tor a lew minutes, dlr. wl maker clubptug his rife, while his wife cut oue of vanced to the attack. ferocious by hunger, to give up their the cubs severely in the shoulder witi the axe. ihe Tage of the agimais became fearful, and the danger of jacing them at once became apparent. Retreat. ing rapidly to the house they barred the door and prepared to defend taemselves, Mr. Ellmaxer reloaded his rifle, aud, firing through the window, killed a one, Tne oid bear now attempted to b tne log house, but owing to her broken pa ao90, Another shot from te Tile severely iu the head Was unable to wounded her ply When she set up the most hideous howls of race. ‘Lhe animals lotiered around unill midnight, When they retired and all becaine sul, in the morning the old bear Was found dead about six nundred yards trom the house and the cub lay where tt fell in the eariy part of we ea- ne gad ‘Tne other nad disappeared in the jorest. ‘rhe two dead bears were secured and dressed, The old one weighed 330 pounds and the cub 193, It is seldom that bears are-so bold; but their bravery on this occasion was caused, no doubt, by Lie cravings of huager. The calf was badly lacerated by the teeth aud claws or the animal. MARRIAGES AND DEATHS. 22, by CoNsLINE—LELAND.—On Thursday, February the Kev. Mr. E.O. Flagg, D.
