to swallow them all up, never reaectlnS tha
this is too vast q country to be monopolized o.
gobbled up by anything or anybody. Tbert
is room enough for all, though Of course as the
philosophers would put it, only the tlttest VII
survive-'n ~
While what Was above said in regard to tl1e
dullness OF the real estate market generally il
the CITY is strictly true, the coming Of Stewart
g. Co. and Burlock & Co., and their location OF
WABASH AVENUE,
has turned attention rather actively to thai
splendid thoroughfarc. The sale of 80 feet bI
A, J, AyerelI on this avenue, now occupied by
the Nevada Hotel, and before the fire was the
residence OF L. r. billiard, Esq, fol $500 pei
front foot cash, could not have been effected &
month ago. Another sale is reported on the
street in which $500 cash advance was realized
on what the property was held at for many
months past And now The TRIBUNE has ia
record that
AN IMMENSE CARRIAGE ESTABLISHMENT
from the East Eill be opened on Wabash avenue
as soon as the building can be put up for it.
Nessrs. harrington g. Hackney, agents fol
D. ". Irwin d Co., have leased the &C
feet Immediately south Of B. P. Hutchins build
ing on the corner OF Wabash avenue and Har-
rison street, and the fine structure to be built on
it by the Hon. G. P. kinball, Of New York. He
is at present Commissioner for New York at the
Centennial Exposition, aud as soon as that

THUS 7HET CONE.
C1aflin & Co, it is your turn next, and indeed
it is reported that an agent of the house has
been here. and that important deVelopments IN
relation to their movements will soon he made.
a Philadelphia paper well remarks that the
movement Of Stewart d Co. and the other
great houses is the first convincing, tangible fact
Showing the decentralization Of the wholesale
hold it much longer. It omits
to say, what quarter OF century will
prove, that the jobbing trade for the vast and
Immensely productive country tributary to Chi
ca1o will find its Capitalization here. This is as
certain to be true as anything in the future tan
be.
TwEsTY-sECoSD STREET.
To the Editor Qf The Tribune.
CHICAGO, Sept al wish to call the atten-
Street to tie fact that they are losing, il they
have not already lost, the last and best oppor-
tunity that they will have Of making it one Of
the finest business streets in Chicago, not cx-
cepting even the prominent thoroughfares
"down-town.'' And first let me say that am
not directly or Indirectly interested in any land
in that vicinity, except as every citizen Of Chi
cago is interested. Messrs. ulrich d. Muhke,
as is we'll known, OVID some sixty OF eighty
acres bounded bY State and Twenty second
streets. They have recently cleared of the
property, torn down and removed the hotel,
and subdivided the entire tract. and are about
commencing to make permanent improvements
Of the best kind. They have offered to donate
4 strip 20 feet wide, commencing at
the corner of State and Twenty5econd
streets and running west tho entire length
OF the property, extending some distance west
Of the railroad, provided the property-oTncrs
on the opposite side Of the street, and on the
corner Of State and Twenty-second streets will
put in the water-pipc and sewer-connections
(thc main pipe and sewer are already laid) and
pave the Street. The railroad company prom
iscs, if this is done, they will build tirstcass
passenger depot, covering the track. All the
small property-owners have offered to contrib
u:e more than their proportion to make that
fine improvement, but 4 few large property
holders, owning very expensive corner lots, and
being capitalists besides, refuse to do ANYTHING
like their share, and apparently are entirely
willing that owners of single lots should pay
for their benefit. This proposition has becn
open for weeks, and thoroughly canyasscd, and,
on account Of the littlencss Of these rich
corner-lot owners, the project WAS to-day aban-
doned. This is too bad; it ought not so to be.
Cannot you, through your columns, SO stir up
such feeling in regard to this matter that the
grand improvement may yet be accomplished!
