THE MARKET.

CHEERFUL DN1LNE6s PREDOMINANT.
There have been no sales Of sufficient i'm
poztance during tho weak to create any excite
ment In rea1-eatate circles. A number Of pieces
OF propey have changed ha1ds, but there is
no general speculative or investing movement in
the market. There ia no feeling OF lack Of
confidence, and no disposition to force sales,
except in iso1xted cases Of individual necessity.
This condition Of quiet is one so normal at this
period Of the year that many Of tue largest
1eal-eetate dealers express an ardent desire that
the real-eetate chroniclsrs OF the daily press
might be persuaded to omit all mention OF the
1eal- -estate market until the spring season comes

BUILDING ASSOCIATIONS.
To the Editor Of The Chicago Tribune:
CHICAGO, Dec. la leading article in your
impression Of 25th November gives deserved
praise to the /" Iradesmen's Building l. Loan
Association of Philadelphia u for economical ad-
ministration and large profits but, very unde-
serredly. at the expense OF similar associations
in this city.
Permit me to say that the only association Of
the kind in this city ION the Philadelphia p1an),
which has As yet reached any importance, is
the Peoples Building 4; Loan Association. with
its Office At No. 80 Washington street; and that
20 far as your structures on ''pr66tR earned"
expensive and luxurious quarters" behind
plata glass windows" and "black walnut
counters" are concerned, they do not IN any
way apply to mat Association, as the writer of
tho article in question may ascertain by per-
Roual visit.
