TIE GREAT WEST.

The following is from the 81. Louis Mis-
souIi) Republican, denotes thriving con
diiion in the Great Metropolis Of the Fal
West.
"We see il stated in several ofthe Eastern
papers that four hundred houses have been
built in ST. Louis this season. We know not
from what source they derive their nfOrDa
ton, but SO far as we are uble to Judge, we
think the estimate from two TO four hundred
too low. We have converscd with several
master builders, and we have not heard one
who placed the estimate at less than six, and
several say eight hundred, including the ad-
dnions made 10 former buildings. There is
no part of the city in which there are not
several new buildings being erected, aud on
some streets the whole line is filled with
materials for houses in the course of erection
In the suburbs this is also the case there are
even many Of the resident citizens who art
ignorant Of the extent Of improvements now
going on.
From the high rate Of house rent, and the
great demand, this is not matter OF aston
ishment. Any thing Of a comfortable tene-
ment suitable for family residence, readily
rents for from four to eight hundred dollars.
Stores on Main or Front street from $1,000
to S25OO aud all other buildings in proportion
The cost of building materials, labor, &C., is
all very high, and high as the rents appear,
they yield but a small profit on the invest
ment The only thing which is TO US mex
plicablc, is the ability Of our citizens to make
The Improvements that are now going on
Money has been very scarce the past season,
business has not been as active as in former
times, and yet, building after building has
gone up. Many Of them are such as do
credit to the taste and liberality Of our peo-
pie. The amount and character OF the im-
provements Of st. Louis, during this season,
will, we expect, equal, if not greatly exceed
that of any other city in the west. We trust
the spirit will continue, for 50 long as the in
fux Of population is az great as at the present
time, the demand for houses will be equally
great"

UNPARALLELED FRAUD.
