BUILDING NOTES,
Little has boen done i'll building tho past weok
either in progressing or prospective operations,
but with tho first return Of pleasant weather and
Hottled condition Of the atreots great activity is
| oortain. It Ia an annoying fact that many OF tho
most desirable stores and oticoa In choice locali
ties are already occupied or takcn in advance Of
| completion. On State street stores are IN re-
queHt. On Dearborn Htreet thore nro fow choice
stores aud Offices remaining without tenants
On Clark street, with all the number of now
storoB, all arc takon az far south as Monroe
street, and others still further south aro rented
| in advance OF completion. There aro numerous
now building operations projected md roady to
DO commoncd to iii gaps In choice businoss
quarters, and altogether tho outlook for
owners OF tie buildings Of last aeason IL far
more encouraging than Waa expected. Tho very
circumstance tint encouraged tho immense
amount Of building put forward o steadily:
growing demanl on tho part Of tonnnta OF all
Kinds, and when Chicago fts into her now busi-
noss quarters .hore will not be any too largo
margin left for future growth.
Within the next week the number Of competl-
two plans for tho City-lIa!l and Court-lI0use
will DO cut down from .elghtoon. it's
