a4,a rnovaments OF the real estate market fo1
+ba weak have been devoid OF Importance Of
iuterase. In the present state OF the market,
those vho can hold On to their property prefer
tn do 80. s,nce there 1s no active competition
.rnonr BUYERS. The usual numbers Of transferE
srp reported, but large proportion OF these are
exchaoees, and are but continuation Of the
movement which is carrying lncumbered prop
erty into the hands of stronger holders.
1t would be mistake to suppose, however,
that tho market is weakening, or that prices are
declining, The depreciation is past, and there il
simpiy the dulness that always in the real estate
market follows q fall in prices, and precedes .
reaction. The latter will come when the bust
ness men OF this city and the West find them
selves again laying up money for which they
must find investment.
An item Of some interest to dealers IN rea
estate in the suburbs north OF the city Will be
found in the announcement Of the projected
patrow-gauge railroad from this city to Evanston

THE LOAN MARKET.
The market has been comparatively quiet the
past week, and very little has been done by the
regular loan agencies, There does not appear
to DO any diminution in the demand for money,
and 'thare is plenty Of money seeking invest
ment, hut investors are very careful, and it is
too often the case that the security offered ia not
exactly OF the night kind Most Of the inBtru-
menth involving large amounts, filed for record
the past week. are to secure accrued indebted
ness and are not actual loans. The tate of in
teress IN all these cases is 10 per cent Nothing
lower than this has been noted, although We
hear of parties who are offering money at s Der
cent ON improved city property,
