Mary Isr, 1866,—The day which New Yorks ors regard with especial dread—the let of May—ts just three weeke distant, Moving-time always looked forward to with « feeling of aversion, but am fortumately there are, at the present time, circum- stauces which greatly add to (ho usual discom@tare of tenants, In eddition to the trouble and ennoy- ance of moving, wany femilics are now perplexed by « preliminary wattor—that of obtaiming a habitation, In fact, the latter feature of moving day is this year more important then any other, It ts now almess impossible for persons to obtain suitable dwelling- places on any terms, and many families find them~ selves unable to pay the beavy increase in reate which landlords now demand, But even in cases where parties have made provision fer the coming rent-year, the first of May is anything bat a pleasans subject of reflection, It brings to the mind harrow~ ing visions of domestic chaos, broken furniture en@ extortionate carmen, and, in eddition, it reminds the tenant that he mast b fter practice close economy in order te make up for the increase@ rate of rent, The letter thought is aot plossant, for the hich prices have already led pradent people to practice pretty rigid economy, ‘Lhe average ad. vance im rents is probably not far from thirty-three per cent —one-third higher than last year; and since the lucomes of sslaried men and employes gener- ally have o downward rather them an upward teu~ dency, it Is evident that the new schedule of rente will be keenly felt, With regard to the general question of rents and the supply of houses, the epin- jon of the Sum, at the beainuing of the renting ses- sou, bas so tar Leen verified, Nearly all the Met- ropolitan journals inmeted that the landlords would not be able to maintain their bigh prices, that they would be obliged to redace them before the 1st of Mey, and that tenants should patientiy walt ‘for senothing toturn up.” The Sum looked at the mat- ter {na more practical light—taking inte aceount the inadequate supply of houses, with the rapid ia- crease ef population—end frankly told the people that it was not judicious to walt, and those whe took this advice are now probably eatisied of ite correctness, ‘The only encouragement for tevente is the thought that the present siate of things can- not last long, ‘The effect of the bigh prices wilh attract capital toward the erection of more houses, and lower :ates will necessarily result frem the increased supp 7.
