Larger Proportion Of Maturing
Loans Paid than Renewed.

$125, 900 Cash.
Summary Of Real Estate Transfers
Tor 1876---Real Estate in San
Francisco.

Since the drst OF the yeaE there has been
gradual improvement In the real estate busi-
| ness, III which the floan market has partially
participated. The total transfers OF property in
COOK County since Jan. l amount to nearly
S1,o0o,0o0. without reckoning the property sold
at forced sale. This Is better exhibit than for
the last month or two in 1876. Loans have
been rather stagnan1, and appear to ha1c ac-
copied the situation OF the usual winter dull
ness building Is quiescent, with no pros
pect OF recovering from its hyberna-
tion until March. Loaus on improved
property are not much sought after,
greater part OF such property having passed into
stronger hands, who have no need to borrow in
order to enable them to carry what they have
purchased. The loans. ..negotiated are generally
Tor small amounts, aud for improvements, at 10
per cent Hence VIC judge that the poorer class
of our citizens are in better condition than Is
generally supposed. The payments continue to
exhibit most gratifying increasc, neither
loan AGENTS nor the records having any cause Of
complaint on this head. There arc no loans at
7per cent to be noted this week; the general
rate Of interest has been at to Q per cent, with
an exceptional case, noted below, ut G1{ per
cent. The following transactions give some
idea Of tue state Of the market:
North LaSalle street, 33 feet, east trout, bY
110 feet, between White and Chestnut streets,
S3,95Q, three years, at 9 per cent.
A1dnc square, e lots, s21 Goo, two years, at
10 per cent.
West Adams street, 10 feet, south front, 1ao
feet east OF Clinton street, 81 700, three years,
at 6}1 per cent. This Is lower than the lowest.
Brewery corner Of Archer and Stewart aye~
n9es, $4,000. five years, at per cent.
Webster avenue, 10 feet, north front, BY 125
Webster avenue, $4,000, two years, at s per

GO BACK.
A Bad State Of Affairs In Texas.
From the Dallas (Texas) Times.]

From the Dallas [Texas) Tmes.]
In plain English, the papers that speak OF
the magnificent opportunities this State pre-
sents to the new conner, lie, and lie in very
gratuituous, criminal way, indeed. Inc un-
Vanished truth is, that our labor marker IS
already stocked to overt1owlng, ana every
fresh arriving train but adds to the miseraple
multitude in our midst that suffers, starVes'
and finally fights its way back East again.
Before the door of nearly every house IN TINS
city there daily begs halloWed swarm that
would sadden the heart of satyr. Men OF
brain and culture, good clerks, excellent ac-
countants, business men Of undeniable energy,
mechanics of ability, walk the streets IN
dumb despair, and finally take those that lead
to the chain gang and the work house. The
writer of this cannot remember one evening
for many that he has not been asked for
money to buy q meal, or bed, by men who
would have sooner died on the rack than to
have asked aims in the light of day. And
some of them do die on the rack-the rack OF
continued disappointment and misery. Yet
some journals calmly sing the same old siren
song, and still this over crowded, over traded,
ana financially prostrated community is held
up with fatal persistency as the proper Mecca
of the American youth.
We beg the journals in the East and North
to copy this. We ask that the truth and the
whole truth he told there as a simple duty to
humanity. In the name of distress we see
around us and are powerless to relieve; in
the name OF the tramps and vagrants that ill
our cities and towns, we solemly warn in
tended emigrants of all classes, except farm
ers and men with money to invest, that we
are over-stocked with labor, and will be for
the next four or five years. Though his ticket
be purchased and his trunk be packed, We
say to the man looking hither for employ
ment-GO back!

RESUMPTION.
HOW the New York city Banks propose
to Help the Government to kesume'

The following is the Coe plan, described
by John Thompson, of the Chase National
Bank: The banks, under this plan, are to
place to the credit of the government $780,
600, 900 in gold, which, with the specie now
in the treasury, would furnish $500, 600, 600
as basis on which to resume. The credit
for the gold furnished by the banks is to be
secured by the United States tour per cent.
bonds to be left in the treasury. The BANKS
can claim the bonds at any time by paying
for them in gold, or the government can
make q call on the banks to take up the
bonds and pay in gold. AS fast as the gov
ernment gold shall disappear, in the redemp:.
ton of greenbacks, the banks will be called
upon. The government having resumed on
greenbacks, the banks reserve money in the
shape Of greenbacks will command the gold
for these greenbacks. The practical work
ing will probably be the contraction OF the
greenback circulation to the extent OF say
sec, 600, 900 OF $3.50, 600, 600, and diminution
of the gold in the treasury to correspond
ing amount, at which point the government
will find it necessary to call on the banks for
gold, or q payment for the four per cent.
bonds. The banks will hold moiety of the
greenback circulation, at least, and be amply
able to meet the demands of the government
for the subscription to the four per cent:
bonds, without purchasing any gold, and
the government will be placed in the attitude
of merely paying four per cent. year fol
the privilege of becoming depositor in the
hanks

Wasn't Pears.

Last evening one of the many devoted lov-
ers with which our city abounds was sitting
ON the steps of school street mansion with
a young damsel by his side. The hour was
nine. The old folks had considerably gone
to bed. She was gazing pensively into the
depths of the starry armament; he looking
tenderly down into the depths OF her starry
eyes, and speaking in low, soft tones Of
but why particularize Every one knows
what young men say on such occasions: Sud
denly the young lady noticed pause in his
remarks, and glancing at his face discovered
it s'pale and unreal in the moonlight" AT
the same time his lower lilnbs drew up spas
medically, shot out again like catapult, his
arms Joined in action with his legs and flew
wildly about in all directions, the fire flying
briskly from the stone steps and his boot
heels as he plunged madly around. ''Oh
George she cried, ''have the pears hurt
your" They'd been eating pears.] The only
reply she got was more desperate plunges and
kicks, and in q moment more George sue
ceeded in dislodging from his trousers leg
large sized rat which had evidently come
from under the steps, and for some unac-
countable reason had made ladder OF the
