block lust south, few weeks ago, for
a3oo = foot The purchaser was Nr. J. 4.
Fisher in both cases. He paid 3400 foot for
tho lot at the corner of Peck court, tho differ
snoe fairly representing the advantage OF tho
situation. Considering the present state OF al
fairs On Wabash avenue in that vicinity,
THESE PRICES ABE GOOD.
It il uncertain how soon, if at all, or under
what coDditions q horse-railway will be laid on
the avenue. Unlike State street, nothing has
been done in that part of Wabash avenue to re-
palr the devastation Of the July fire. Its i'm
mediate future il uncertain; the situation is an
admirable one for boarding-houses, but whether
Il will retain its attractions depends 1arsely
upon the SUCCESS with which \ much less de-
eirable class Of tenants, that have made some
in1oads there, arc excluded.
In connection with the sale OF this corner. tho
rite OF the Jewish Synagogue OF Anaha Mario

Congress street, has been virtually aban doned
since the fire OF 1871 The owners OF Ter
race Row and the other fine residence
blocks that used to adorn that part
of the city have not seen their
way clear to rebuild. Very much the same IN
certainty that embarrassed owners in Wabash
avenue has been operative here. and little or no

weeks there have been several sales showing that
