The idea most favorably them Row, is to come into the city luug tiic'bast bank of the North Branch, and cross the North Division railroad bridge rro-s the river east of Kush street, if they can «rl tlie privilege of doing so. WIDENING STREETS AND ALLEYS. Many o Lithe property-owners in that part of the burnt district”, along’tho line of the south ex .-nsion of l Dearborn street to Harrison, are uililinvtheir new houses so as to leave space for no lout street midway bet ween Third and Fourth venues. Whether this disposition is unanimous r not, we do not know.; it probably is not, as tbe wners of tbcJGfs at tbc proposed junctions of fearborn with Van Burenaud Harrison will want Gimmes. It is now the pretty general impres inuthat the repent decisions of the Supremo uurl of the Slate have left the city authori ses without any legal method by which key m ay condemn land for the opening, widen in'or straightening of streets and alleys. The ,eV constitution provides that compensation for md taken for such purposes shall bo awarded bvajury. as shall be prescribed bylaw.” It as been thought that a decision given in May, v Judge McAllister, of the Supreme Court, in he case of Kich rs. City of Chicago, would obvi te all difficulties, and that it was only .ocessarv for the city authorities to ondeum* the land, and that then those who .ceiucd themselves aggrieved could apply to the curls and demand a trial of the case by jury. )iher decisions since the one above referred to save, however, thrown such legal obstacles in the vav, that the city would become liable for all lama ces if this course were pursued, and it will wobably be necessary for the Legislature to pass new act before the city mm legally open, ir widen, any street or alley. It p a matter of great importance hat this question should be settled at the .-artiest possible day. There arc many changes jpressary in thewidths and lines of streets and illcye is various parts of the “burnt district,” md'wliicli could now be made at comparatively rillinnoxpense whilethere are no buildings on hr bus. a year hence these changes would cost cur limes as much. CHURCH SOCIETIES MOVING. The Church of the Messiah (Rev. Robert Laird r, ollier's) was sold last week for SBO,OOO to Mr. H. M. Wikuarth, who Is changing the interior so i« to adapt it to the business. Wc mentioned also i few weeks ago that the First Baptist Society, whoso line church on Wabash avenue near Hub jard Ciurt was only completed in September, af ler standing so long with its towers unfinished, were contemplating taking the wlmle edifice iov/ii, stone by stone, and rebuilding it on Dong as Place. These incidents are probably only the .o—V.llifc,- of a general hegira of churches from v\ abash av-e nue north of "Twenty-second street. lire has pushed the residence quarters ■lu-tnc’raway from the former center of. the city, tolh in the West and South Divisions, and the Lurches will-find it necessary to more accord ngiy. The Presbyterian church which it was ex pected would be built on the northeast corner of (Vabash avenue and Twentieth street (Dr. Pat terson’s) will, we now understand, be built as far south as Twenty-sixth or Twenty-ninth street, and it is probable there will never be another church built iTorth of Twenty-second street cast of the nver. values of north side property. The uT-eCsmc.depreciation in tbe value of ground in the “bura^•district” of the North Division may be estimated by the following prices at v. Inch propertv can be bought in various loca tions, as compared with the prices demanded be fore the fire:- On Michigan street, between C lark and LaSalle, ground has been sold at $290 nor foot, for which S3OO was demanded before the tire. The corner of Clark and Erie was -old at $4 CO per front foot, and was valued at ‘sßoo per foot before the ire On the north side of Superior street, be 'wcou Cass and Kush, ground wlu:h was forxucr iv valued at-4223 per front foot, can be bought Tor $lO9. On the south side of the same street, around which, was formerly valued at 8200 per front foot, can now be bought for $125. On Clark street, south of-Erie, ground which was valued >ruoiMT front foot, can be bought for SIOO. On Vonh‘Dearborn street, near North avenue, ground which was formerly valued at $230 per iront foot, can now be bongnt for $l5O. On Supe rr:,,r street near St. Clair, ground which was •’jrmerlv held at SIBO per foot, is now offered at ■ken. On Orchard, Halslcd. Hurlbut, Burling, SopLia, and other streets, which were to a con siderable extent undisturbed by tbe fire, property lia* been sold lately at prices just about equal to these obtained three months ago. The greatest depreciation is in the cases of property situated where all theimprovcuieiits in the neighborhood we re destroyed. The nearer ground is to the tm disturbod portions of the city, the less the depre ciation iu value. BRICK. "We hear of abont twenty leases having been within a week or two, to parties who mean mt-labuslihriek-vards. The majority of these •*ic fcr •'round on the South Branch and west of Iteuben street, andthere seems every probability timt the immense demand for brick next spring will draw a large population to that quarter of i3;e citv to engage in their manufacture. REAL ESTATE MARKET. There is a moderate but encouraging activity in ilie real estate market.

Fuller, a veteran of one of the friendly Ffii jee Islands, informs a San Francisco reporter that cannibalism still exists to an alarm ing extent throughout tlieinterioi of Vitelenc, an I island ninety by sixty miles in extent. Annual 1 feasts are given to such chiefs as have slain foes in battle and -performed deeds of ‘taring. At .-these disgusting carnivals the bodies of na- five hoys' of twelve to fourteen years of age only are eaten. From earliest child- hood tlieKo subjects are fattened for tho I hot rid feast. They are fed wholly npon fruits and vegetables. When the day of slaughter rolls round, two front teeth aro extracted from the mouth or tie child. These are inserted to a club, ■a Ith whid weapon the murder is committed, the teeth heirs driven deep to the skull of the help less Tictm. The body is then dissected, entrails. ic removed, and afterward cut into suitably sized/steaks. These, are rolled in bread fruit leaves, placed to holes in the earth and baked for the feast. The native boy Host is lor the palates of the Chiefs only. Tint Of the white man is considered too salty aid smoky, and is not regarded as toothsome, captain Fuller says there aro over one hundred thousand cannibals on the Island, and only last August two Scotchmen were captured and oaten by the natives. [OFETART AND COMMERCIAL. MONETARY. Saturday Evening, Deo. 2. The hoary settlements in the grain trade iacl deut to the close of the month of November made the bank clearings unusually heavy this morning, being *3,857.000. Otherwise than this, there la but little oclivityin finances. Monty continues ex ticmcly abundant, and if payments of insurance losses amount to *10,(too,000 or $12,000,000 during the next thirty or forty days, as there seems rea son to think will be the case, a very considerable prbportion of it will find its way into the banks in re and be the means of keeping money plenty nearly all winter. For the present there is scaroe any demand for money in this market on the part of jobbers in the regular mercantile lines of trade; the demand on lumber and grain accounts is also light, and pork-packers seem to be about the only ones who are asking for bonk accommo dation. The supply of currency m this market is not large, but the country demand is so light that banks are not obliged to order it from New York, as is usual at this season of the year. Exchange is quoted at 60c per 81,000 discount for sales between banks. At the counter,bankers sell at pur and buy at 1-10 discount.

There •was more talk tkan cider in every department, except in cern, and no important changes in price. For Saturday in-winter the day was rather an active one, hut little was done outside of speculative trading. Hlghwines were somewhat easier, at the inside quotation of yesterday. Bales were reported of 200 hrls at 88 l-2c. Most holders asked 89 c. Dressed hogs were more active, and a shade easier, being supply. Shippers took hold rather freely, though the weather shows signs of moderating. Sales were 476 head, at §4.50 for small and odd lots; 84.55ar4.00 for mixed weights, and §4.73 forfancy. Provisions were less active and irregular. Hogs were a shade easier, owing to a more liberal supply, and to this was added a lower range of prices on cooperage, which made pork and lard weak. The latter was dull. Pork was m some demand to dll options, principally for this month, which showed but little decline, while future de liveries were fully 15c lower. Meats were quiet, but firmly bold, owing to the fact- that the Ship ments of the week amounted to over five million pounds, indicating a big demand. Green bams were the most inquired after, and were again firmer on the lightest averagos,l3-lb hams selling up to Sc, while 17 lbs were quoted as low as 61-2 C. The packing to date foots up 248,150 head oi hogs, against 108,499 to same date last year. Milwau kee reports 03,934 hogs to date, against 39,723 last vear.

The cattle trade opened very dull this week, with every indication thatitwould continue so throughout. Buyers were few and indifferent, and, notwithstanding the meagre receipts, there was a general feeling of weakness and depres sion. Advices from New York, Albany, Buffalo, and other Eastern points were most discourag ing, and a further depreciation in values seemed unavoidable. But, as the week advanced, the Eastern markets assumed a healthier tone, aud. the receipts continuing light, the market hero became more active and tinner, in sympathy. Some good cattle were offered, but the average Quality was poor, the arrivals consisting largely of common and medium descriptions, for which the ruling prices were $2.50a4.25. A few droves 501dat54.50a4.75,0ne or two at $5.00, and one (a premium drove averaging 1,425 lbs) at $6,12 1-2. The city retail trade continues extremely dull, as poultry. and game, and cheaper meats are still very abundant. A few car loads were taken for home consumption at $4.00a4.121-Sc, but the ruling prices were $2i50a3.50, for common to good cows, and common steers. Stock steers were in light demand only, at $3.25 a 2.50 for common rough thin lota, and at $2.75a3.25 for thrifty voting steers averaging from 000 to 1.050 lbs. Veal calves have been neglected and almost unsalable oven at the low range o£ $3.50 a To-dav there was little trading. The supply was light and composed of undesirable grades aud sales were slow at yesterdays’ prices. CLOSING PRICES, Extra—Graded steers, averaging 1,400 lbs and upward. |5.40a5.C0 Choice Beeves—Fine, fat, well-formed 3 to 5 year old steers, and averaging 1,200 to 1,400 lbs 6.00a5.25 Good Beeves—Well-fattened, flnely-fonn steers, averaging 1,200 to 1,300 lbs 4.50a4.75 Fair Grades—Fair steers, in lair flesh, av eraging 1,100 to 1,200 lbs I.OOa-4.25 Medium Class—Medium steers and good cows for city slaughter, averaging 800 to 1,100 IbS 1 2.5003.75 Block Cattle—Common cattle in decent flesh, averaging 700 to 1,0501bs 3.25a3.25 Inferior—Light and thin cows and steers 1.75a2.25 hogs. During the first four days of the week the re ceipts were light, and, falling short of the de mand, prices ruled firm and higher, advancing to 54.00a4.33. The large receipts of Friday.however, caused a sharp reaction, andSalOc of the advance has been lost, prices, during yesterday afternoon and to-day, receding to $3-93a4.25, at which range the market closed weak. The high prices preva lent here during the past week will probably in duce largo receipts, and by many a still farther decline is looked for. Packers are taking the great bulk of the hogs, less than 22,000 having gone into the hands of shippers during the week just closed. The hogs now coming forward, though much better than the average in former seasons, are not so good as at this time last year, when they were exceptionably flue. To-day the receipts were unpreoedeutly large fora Saturday, reaching 22,000. Under this enormous supply the market, as may be supposed, was weak, and the reported sales indicate a further reduction of sc, as compared with yesterday’s prices. Shippers and packers were buying, but the former spar ingly. Salcsfwere reported at $3.95a4.00 for com mon light uneven coarse and mixed lots, $4.05 a $4.10 for medium, and at $4.15a4.25 for good to choice. We note the following non SALES TO-DAY. 2To. Av.
