Excerpt from Thirtieth Annual Report of the Trade and Commerce of Chicago: For the Year Ended December 31, 1887 The record of thirty years of this Association is completed, and within its pages may be found facts presenting contrasts more start ling than tales of romance. No prophet flourishing between 1834 and 1857 would have ventured to predict the marvelous development which the statistics and statements for 1887 disclose, and no imagination of to-day can compass the magnitude of the record as it shall be made up after the flight of another thirty years. An incident, * which occurred on the 6th of November, 1834, now seems most improbable. On that date, which is within the lifetime of many now engaged in active business, a large black bear and forty wolves were killed in a strip of timber near the corner of Market and Jackson streets, in close proximity to the present site of the Board of Trade, in the vicinity of which are some of the finest and most costly of our business blocks, and where land is worth from to per front foot.
