The principal transaction Of tho week was the
purchase By Mr.. L. z. Letter, OF Field, Letter &
Co., Of the building and lot occupied By Wilson
Bros, the well-known dea1ears in furnishing
goods, on Washington street, near Dearborn
street, next to the Commercial National Bank.
$4,000 cash. The building is good four-story
business structure, ana, with the lond, was the
property Of 3fr. Busby, the builder. This iu-
yestment calls attention again to the point
heretofore made and repeated by The
InlnuAE, that it tg te. the ablest and aad
are now buying most real estate in Chicago.
They are the class who do more than any other
TO develop the city, and it Is they who are now
proving their confidence in themselves aud Chi
cd the purchase by Mr. Letter OF the Qu1nlan
Block, on Clark street, opposite the Court
House, for $150,0 Running back eighteen
months, we find that Messrs. Field and Letter in
the last eighteen months have invest
ed The ENORMOUS sum Of over s1,1o9, ono
situated in the business centre, and most Of it
was improved, Among tue purchases of one or
the other Of them have been the Gossage store
on State street, between Madison and Washing
ton, the Quinlan Block On Clark street., the
building on Madison street, near franklin, oc-
cupied by Rlndskopf i Barbe, the southwest
corner Of Clark and Madison, the corner of
Fifth avenue aud Monroe, the handsome prop
erty at the northeast corner Of State and Seadi-
son, the corner OF franklin and Monroe, since
improved by Mr., Field with the best-buiIt and
strongest business house in Chicago,
and the $50 feet square at -, the
transfers are matters OF public record, but they
holders Of what the best merchants in Chicago
think Of Chicago real estate. The purchase, first
recorded in TIE TRIBUNE, OF the old Second
Church property, at the corner Of Washington
and State streets, By John Taylor, Of New York,
is fact that points the same way as those
above. MIR. Taylor is reported to haVe acted on
the deliberate COMPLETION that the future
Of Chicago real estate is much more
that other New York capitalists have come to
the same conclusion, and will soon follow his
example in making Chicago investments.
