RENTS.
4 GENERAL REDUCTION.
Releases ......

aENERAI. REDUCTION.
The movement in rents has suffered from the
same meteorological causes that have interfered
with all business. It has been impossible for
tenants to get about in search Of houses and
stores. There have been 'indica1ions to show
tho probable direction OF rents. It may be safe
" said that house rents above 81, 600 will saffer
the most serious reduction. The lower
class OF tenements ia in greater demand,
and will, On that account be cut down
less. The greatest demand so far has been for
houses On the North and South Sides. On the
North Side rents are probably hrmer than in
any other Division Of the city. There ia more
demand OF good kind, and the supply is not so
much in excess.
In store rents the tendency is to reduced
rates and short leases. There is general un-
derstapding that rents are not likely to go lower
after this year, and that they will probably in
crease with the improvement in business that is
universally expected. Landlords are making re-
ductions, varying according to circumstances
from Is to so per cent, but only for one year
leaaos.
SOUTH CHICAGO.
The James Brown Steel L. Iron Manufacturing
Company, whose most prominent members are
James Brown, the great iron manufacturer OF
YOUNGSTOWN O., and former members of the
great iron house OF Hale, Aver Il Co., of this
city, has chosen the site OF its new manufac-
tracts for the erection Of one Of the largest and
most complete manufactures in the Northwest.
The location OF this grest industry at South
Chicago, giving employment to hundreds Of
wotkren, who must be housed, clothed, and fed
by tho tradesmen OF this vicinity. is = consider
able addition to the resources Of that place, and
very great addition to the manufacturing inter
