The real estato market pnrtnkoB somewhat of
tho general dullness characteristic OF tue son
aon. August IN not good month for any do
partnent Of trade. Buyers and Hollors scom
alike disposed to rost during tho ragings Of
the dog-Btar, nnd porhapH IL il we'll thoy should
do 50.
Prominent houses, howovor, report much moro
activity and roally moro doing than a usual for
tho month Of August. Tho ayorago inquiry and
business ure thought to DO mitch larger than
: they woro yenr ago. Perhaps four or livo
times as many houses aro in process
Of construction than thoro were last year,
aud thoro is good actiyo do,naud for
them by parties coming horo to roside from ai1
tho surrounding cities. Tho inquiry is generally
for those costing from $4,000 to $4,000. Some
Of tho loading wealthy mon from Iowu and other
SECTIONS Of tho Northwest are also seeking lots
or elegant homes In tho best residence dis
trictB Of the city. Worry considerable and impor-
tant additions from this clasB OF people will bo
mado to our social aud business circlos. It il in
this way that tho outo1priso manifested in tho
laying out Of 10 many parks nnd tho conatylc-
ton Of such magnificent bouloyarlB la adding to
the Intelligence, tho socnl po,yor, aud the capi-
tai Of tho city. No other in Amorica can offor
10 many Inducements to tho capitalist,
the most he can for luis money =; aud certainly
tho man who wishes to plunge into buBinoas
where a1l his onorgieH and abilities can have am-
pie scope will find Chicago exactly the place for
tho e1orciae of lis noblcst aspirations. Far
seeing men all over the country hayo become
satisfied OF thoae facts and arc acting upon
them by casting in their lot among nB.
I. Not only iH tlore fair inquiry for houses Of
tho better class, but Just outBide Of tho fire n-
itB lots arc n demand at from $500 to 81, 600 by
mcn Of small NOUNS, to build houses upon them
Tor themselves aud families. This shows proB-
pority among our mechanics and working caBaeg,

LINCOLN Park TO wAuKEaAN.
:. our Il, article , last week On tho Importance Of
gan, attracted very general attention. Tic won
dor il that tho entorprising, Intelligent men of
the beautiful towns along the lake shore hayo
not moved in tho matter before. His Honor
Mayor Mccill droyo to town frou, Lake Forest
on Thursday forenoon and, as everybody must,
expressed himBelf dolightod with tho trip. II
drive Of l00 or 160 feet wide we're oponcd for
@ this 4o miles along tho lake. no other
Sns osept "ais 3as corr eofncns s' nosa sa
along tho shore Of tho Mediterranean from Nice
to Genoa, would equal it. True, tho road from
cnHtellamoro to Sorrento along, tho Bay Of Naples
t. superior u grandeur and historical interest;
tent nnd beauty, could not bo compared with ono
forty mlles along tho bright blue waters Of Lake
Michigan. 10 bridge tho rayuoH near tho lake
would of course 10 expensive; but tho splendid
forests TINT surround them will afford an abunil-
nnco OF the best OF timber to do 1t. AL the Gust
OF sucl IN ayenuo would 10 repaid q hundred
fold iu tho Increased price it would add to tho
adjoining laudA. There il scarcely half
an aero in all tho forty miles thAt
doeB%not afford beautiful building site,
and that wo should, in q very few years, hayo one
continued residence district for tho entire dis
tance, there cannot DO 4 particle of doubt. It
each town would build half tho spnco between it
and its noareBt noighbor, tho whole work could
be easily accomplished i'll single year. Mcssrs.
Warrou l. Koouoy, largely Interested in South
Evanston, arc building half . mile Of the line
along tue lake shore. Most, II not all, tho nr-
rnngeMentb arc 1nado to oxtond tho boulevard
from Lincoln Park to Evanston and, with q
little exortion on tho pnrt of the people Of VIM
notka, Gloncoe, Highland Park, Lake Forest,
aud other places, one OF the fiuoat drives
in tho world can bo completed within
the coming year. Their moht enthusiastic eiti-
zcnB would bo surprised to SOC how much it
would add to the valuo OF their property, and
how proud shoy would DO over tho success ot tho
enterprise.
