NEW ESTATES IN THE mARKET.
Two OF the moat important events OF the week
have been tho placing OF the sutfern estate and
tho Uhlich estate on the market. Both Of them
comprise large tracts Of land, the former 160
acres, and the latter 60 acres, which have lain
Idle IN tho West and South Sides for 80 years.
TIE uH11cH TRACT.
What is Known as the Uhlich tract lies on the
South Side, between Twenty-second and Twenty
ftth streets and State street aud Wentworth
srenue. It comprises 60 acres, and, In conBe-
ouence Of the protracted suit which was lately
decided BY tho Supreme Court, has been desolate
and uuimp1oved since 1916. The growth
Of the city has passed beyond it. Burn
Ede Dearborn) street is occupied With fine
dwellings, as far south as the city limits,
but nothing has been done to improve this
lind It is now to be placed upon the market.
There are fifteen blocks divided into city lots,
which will be valued at from g 800 70 S60 GOO
lot, according to the location. The OILY building
now On the tract is the Uhlich Hotel. which it is
proposed to replace in time With larger and
hnsr structure. For the present. it will be rem
o7ated and put into new hands. The Rock
Island and Michigan Southern Railroads run
through the Uhich rract, and are soon to erect
commodious depot At Twenty-second street.
Among tho Improvements that will increase the
value OF the property is this Widening Of Twenty
second street. Tho proprietors Of the tract
have agreed to give q strip Is feet wide along
their line on Twenty-second street if the owners
on the other side will grade and pave the street,
md this it is believed will be done. Along State
s1eet lots will be sold for stores; two stores are
Already erected 1t the corner Of Twenty-hfth
Btreet. East Of Clark street the land will be
sold for the better class Of residences, to corre-
spond with those which line Dearborn aud But
te1deld streets to the south.
Uhlich 4, Muhlke, who hive charge CT the
properly. have let the contracts for placing slde-
Valks throughout the entire tract.
THE BUFFERS ESTATE.
LII. II. .. Ogden is about to put into the
market the large tract Of 160 acres on the West
Side known as the Suffern estate. It comprises
the southwest quarter of Sec. s, SO. Il, and lies
between Division street on the north, Chicago
ayenue on the south, Robey street on the east,
md Western avenue on the west. It has lain,
like the Uhlich tract on the South side unoecu-
pied aud unimproved for many years, while the
nty has grown around and beyond IT.
Ar. suffern. Of New York, now dead,
became its owner in 1874, and held
it ever since in it's primeval nakednees 3{r.
Ogden has subdivided It into sixteen ten
acre blocks none Of it will be sold IN smaller
quantities. The prices range from $40, QUO to
&80, 600 block, according to location. The value
OF thef property will be greatly Increased By the
improvements contemplated on Division street
By the West Side Park Commissioners, who are
low awaiting the permission Of the Common
Council to widen, sewer, pave and light the
street, for tho purpose of making it popular
dre to the Wost Side Parks.
, 1874-04-25

Companies seem to havo abandoned the ides and
are inclined to seek some other locality. The
Chicago, Burlington d Quincy Company are
thinking Of uniting with the Pittsburgh d Fort
Wayne, the Northwestern, the Milwaukee l. st.
Paul and tho st. Louis & Alton in the erection
OF mammoth depot on the property now used
by the Fort Wayne and the St. Louis Roads. In
that case the Michigan Central will follow the
Burlington, and the lake front will be left ont
in the cold. The railroads now own the tract
between Madison and Van Buren streets and
Canal and the river with tho exception
Of 400 feet which can be purchased at about
$1,000 foot. It is believed that this
will give ample room for Ill the roads which ex-
pect to make the proposed new depot their ter
mint.
II the lake front is to be sold for depot pur-
poses the Council will have to take immediate
action and pass resolution authorizing its sale
for tho 9s0o, 600 before offered. II not it may
never be sold for railroad purposes.
With one exception, property y-owners on Mich
igan avenue have rafnquished I'LL claims for
damages consequent on the erection Of the depot.

REAL ESTATE AND THE VETO.
Tho Presidents veto has had a really health
ful effect on the market. There is an improved
demand for rea1 estate paper, because there is
an ASSURANCE that the Investments are not to be
rendered valueless by further depreciation Of
the currency. There is not foot Of real estate
IN this city that has deprecated in value because
OF the puucturc Of the imitation bubble and busi-
ness wiIl nov 20 on uniuterruptedly. on moro
solid footing than it has had for a year. The
Presidents veto will have the effect OF giving
= pe1manency to commercial values, and q
stability to general trade, while it will also
nut IN end to al hopes Of reviv~
al Of the shallow and unsubstantial
epecu1ationB which went down Inst fall. Con-
fdence and stability on the one hand, and free
dom from wild speculation on the other, will
rapidly restore the national credit. and, despite
the ra1ings Of the inaatonists. the national cur
rency will eventually rise to par, and the busi-
ness Of the nation will ree-h specie baels with
out convulsion OF distress.
These facts are appreciated by the best OF the
1eal-estate dealers. Even those who still censure
tho President for the action which they now be-
Ieye will react injuriously on tho market may
be trusted to see in time that their interests
have been advanced by the veto more than those
ot sny other class. Tho following petition Was
put INTO circulation on Saturday, and In short
time received the signatures annexed:
We the undersigned deaers and owners Of real
estAte bee7e the voto Of the imitation bill by Presi
dent Grant will advance the price Of weliocated prop
ey and is for the best interests Of the country 1t
restores the confidence OF capitalists, who will now
loan their money On real estate security:
