CITY IMPROVEMENTS IN ls5e-

Tho Joar throughout has been characterirsd
By depression In husinaas, and this hss ops-

aprdvate character. Ths aams cause, however,
from the cheaper rate Of labor and mats.ial,
resulting therefrom, hsa reacted to the effect Of
stimulating numerous undertakings, aud in this
respect those Of our citizens who have had tho
neaus to inTes. in buildings have the p.st year
reaped large advantage. Especially have tha
nnmerous extensive city improvements been
carried On most advantsgeously. The figures
OF expenditures given beloE. represent much
larger results accomplished than the like SUNS
wonld have secured in any previous year.
BUILDING.
As regards building, contracts have been
made fully IS per cent cheapar than in 1857.
Comparing the results Of the two years, we ha1e

business blocks, which, to 4 marked extent, in
number and costlinesa, characterized the in.
provemeata Of 1857. OF private residences Of
the frat class there have also been fewer erected,
while large addition has been made to the
dwellings Of lesa pretentious character. and to
IN extent which will tell tavora bly, upon the
question Of rents, giving Us needed increase

held out for high freights. Before the opening
several vessels hsd made engagements at l21h5c;
but this was considered too lou for the first trip,
and agents generally held back, declining any
ofers Of the kind. When navigation opened,
however, grain holders rather held of, and the
vessel interest gaye WAY. An attempt YVES
made shortly after the opening to form combi-
nation, dxicg freights TO Buffalo st Sc for wheat
and to osxego, 1a1zc. Like most other Efforts
of tEis nature, however, 1t fell through, and
vessels took freights at their market value, reg
ulated By the grea: Law Of supply and demand.
What rendered the season particularly un-
profitable, besides the low rates of down fre.ghts,
was q general scarcity OF up freights- There
w.sless merchandise coming up the lakes, less
lumber, less coal, less railroad iron, and many
Of them brought up salt AZ ballast.
