STRONG AND STEADY.
The market for the past week has exhibited
unusal strength, With n still persistent demand
for what is not to be ilad-naulely: inside prop
erty. The would be buyers are plenty, but ms it
takes Two to make n bargain. and as the
party OF the second past-the seler-is as scarce
us hens teeth, or any other rare production
this particular class of property has been held
with d frightened grip which only serves to make
1t all the sought after Indeed, with ref
ercuce to the strictly inside property, i'll the old
and somewhat terrItorialy restricted sense
Of the term, there is some doubt whether
it can be bought for either love
OF money. The fact is, thar the nordens. the
Fields, the Letters, aud all tho other purchasers
OF inside property have bought with the in'cn-
ton Of holding, and never selling again, and, RS
about everything in the inside, or downtown,
section has fallen into the hands OF these per-
rnauent possessors, the result is that those who
want to buy prnpcrty now are Obliged to go
outside the old inside circle, and into new onc.
The inside circle Of today and for the future
takes in Il good deal more circumference than
the old one; every successive sale is followed
by an expansion OF the limit, very much
like chuckins a stone into pool Of water
sets the placid surface in motion aud forms
serics OF concentric rings, ever widening out
ward from the centre The section in and
around the new Board of Trslde building Is now
q part Of this new inside circle, and the demand
for property there is still SO nctirc that it.
too will soon mark the limit. alld inside
prDpcriy will be still farther from the business
centre.
The speculative movement has been all on the
Eouih ANA i'll the way Of acre property. Nearly

OUT IN CALIFORNIA they have rather q
dangerous winter job on hand. According
to the Post of San Francisco "the State is
now threatened with n return wave of
smallpox contagion from the East. 1t will
be recollected that our local board of health,
more than once, released immigrants from
quarantine who were going East, keeping
the crews Of the vessels by which they ar
arrived and the Chinese passengers in close
quarantine. The Post protested against
this at the time. Now, according to the
State board of health, this epidemic is
being introduced by immigrants from
Chicago, and the disease has spread through
several of the valley counties, and is also
in San Francisco. The prospect for the
winter is not, therefore, pleasant one, un-
less Chinese immigration stops, The i'll.
fed Chinese immigrant, who lands in low
physical condition, is a source of contagion
in street cars and on public thoroughfares
which can only be got rid Of by forbidding
him to come here at all. Disease imported
from Eastern cities can be more easily
handled. A thorough inspection of immi.
grant trains should be instituted. BY this
means the introduction of fresh cases NAV
