So Let them read an extract Of letter from gentle
Of high standing residing in Iowa. and think if the
change is a desirable one:
Do not trade for anything in the way ofrea estate with

"The value af land is nominal you may count II at

The following is from Chicago paper:
Rents have fallen greatly in Chicago. The Press
judges from present appearance that there will be de-
cded panic among landlords to procure good tenants
and those who have them would do well to make all
sonable concessions to keep them. As compared with
the rates of 1857 twenty-five per cent is better than
to let rooms and houses stand idle.
