the REAL ESTATE BUSINESS or
CHICAGO.


The most convincing evidence Of returning
Is the ready sale Of real estate in
Chicago and surrounding country. Uaim-
proved lands, so long drug In the market,
are selling rapidly at tair prices. Well i'm
proved farms were in great demand during the
months Of March and April, and quite num-
ber changed hands at remunerative prices.
The u1inbiB Central Railway Company sold, |
during the month Of April, over 6, 600 ceres of I
unimproyed lands, and a, 40 scres from Jan'y !
to May !. inclusive. This is an increase over |
the four months preceding the drst Of Jan'y, |
and indicates confidence and the stability In
the farming interests Of the West, 90 fndis-
pensable to our welfare.
Within the city there Is decided change for
the better. A scarcity of dwellings has given
quite an impetus to building, and large
number Of houses arc in process OF construc-
ton, IS we'll as repairs to supply the demands
Of tenants. Good, eligible sites for residences
IRE sought for by capitalists, with view to
enforcement, and sales at improving prices
are readily made for cash. The sound Of the
stope- hammer and the saT are heard in every
part Of the city, III the work OF construction,
and general brushing up for the summer
months is going on vigorously,
The City Fathers, with comncndable zeal
not to be outdone, are attending to the wants
Of the community in making Improvements.
The opening Of Lasalle street is progressing,
and the process cf removal and tearing down
affords employment to large number Of
Lands, who wheel around, or set aside, as may
be required, old buildings with astonishing
rspidity, aud not long hence this avenue will
be opened through to jackson street. Lake
street is also undergoing repairs The Mich
olson pavement will soon be laid down from
the river to the depot Of the Illinois Central
| Railroad, and viii, when finished, be the finest
I business street in the city. Another effort
was made to open Dearborn street through to
the Post Office, but without SUCCESS.
| The following transfers Of real estate were
filed Tor reco1d IN the Recorders Office, on
/ Monday and TuesdaY, the 5th and 9Th Of May.
They will give specimen Of the transactions
| in real property low in progress. 1t is need
less to add that they Indicate large increase
