The ReulEstate Record talks encouraggingly Of
the outlook. It says:
AS ret the market, neither outside nor inside ot
tions abound that we have reached the beginning
OF the end. We now have tangible evidence thai
business is growing better generally Heretofore il
the merchants Of New York have the facts before
their eyes. OF course as ret it is the larger man
ufacturin. and heavy wholesale trade. Smaller
tendency il always to spread gradually through the
various industries Of the city. We have reached
only the first grade, bat it has been reached; the
beginning OF better times is right here now, and real
esiate always enhances in Value after New York
merchants have made money. TO show that
We do not speak at random, we give the following
important fact upon the authority of the house
ITSELF whose name is tower OF strength among
home manufacturers. That housc, the largest dry
goods commission house in New York, has sold
more goods during the month Of August now just
expired than during any previous August since the
organizations OF the house. There never have been
SO many heavy buyers here from the far West and
Ell attracted hitherward by the Centennial Exhibi-
tion or driven by low stocks at home, the fact re-
mains that they have bought goods heavily, and,
when the dry goods trade begins to flourish, other
trades will soon follow.
SAN FRANCISCO.
The Bulzdin of the 26th says Of real estate in
that city:
In latter years the real-estatc interest has be-
come the leading element OF speculation and busi-
ness activity in San Francisco, and opeied an un-
limited field for the secure and proitablc invest
ment OF capital. In no other city in the world,
not even excepting the pretcntious rivals on the
Eastern Slope, Chicago and St. Louis, have for
tunes invested in real estate augmented at such i
rlpid ratio, and small capitals judiciously placed
advanced SO surely and speedily to the magnitude Of
vifunI wealth OF the city has been developed BY
the steady aavance in real-estate valnes. Thou
sands gifted with calculating foresight have at
the periods Of temporary depression that have oc-
Cured betimes from various causes, more
particularly the intriEnes OF spec9lstoss and
hensfon for the furtherancc Of their pn own
selfish ends; while others have had fortune thrust
upon them through sheer Indifference in remain
ing supincly idle in the possession OF property nc
quired ut some former period by investments rang
ing at comparatively little than the price OF
dog. The time when fictitious influences or bug
bear theories promulgated to order could have any
material effect on general property values in San
Francisco has now departed; but the opportunities
for splendid investments and promising specula-
tion in real estate still present. and we're never
brighter or more advantageous. In truth the
field is yearly enlarging At multiplied ratio, as
the city steadily extends the range OF its circum-
ference; and the advance OF real estate must con-
tinue indefinitely, safely assured the success
sion Of seed time and harvest. No other e1pecta-
tion could reasonably be entertained in viewing
San Francisco to-day in the mere inception OF its
greatncss and contemplating its inevitable destiny
as chief centre OF commerce and financial power
and one Of the most popuons ctfes Of the earth in
the near future.
