REAL ESTATE.
Healthy Condition of the Market
Reported by a Dealer.

A wealthy gentleman from the neighbor-
ing republic has been in the city for the past
few days for the purpose Of inquring into
the present condition Of the real-estate mar
ket, aud in reply to many questions local
dealer, Mr.. j. c. Green, replied as follows:
1.-The outlook for strong and healthy
movement in San Francisco real estate, 10
nv mind, was never better than it is to-day.
The principal reasons upon which | base
nv conclusions are first, the renewed con-
fdence which is manifested on all sides in
the solidity and future greatness of San
Francisco as one of the most important COM
mercial cities in the United States. This
fact seems to be more fully realized by in
yestors at the present time that l have ever
noticed before. Coming events cast their
shadows before This apt saying is more
than true of what will soon be realized in this
city. We notice the shadows of coming
events from the class of investors daily
securing and in search of San Francisco
realty i'll every quarter of the city in large
and small holdings. There seems to be no
limit to the amount Of capital seeking IN
yestments here, all of which assures us that
a marked and certain era of prosperity will
follow. The ebb tide will soon be at its
food Those who have closely observed and
keenly felt the events OF the past few years,
when the oldest inhabItant would remark
tIluI the UUll anu SUutllcIu DUOHIo NOuiu
paralyZe the commerce and importance OF
San Francisco, when it seemed as though
her trade was being cut OFF from every quar-
| ter, now realize the tact that the tide, which
was then e6bng, is now coming in again
laden with wealth acquired in other short
lived but enterprisng localities, only to re-
turn and mark our shores with shining gold
| accumulated, rs it were, in foreign lands
Secondly-The passage of the Silver Bill,
though apparently not fully appreciated, is
sufficient in itself to advance real estate in
this city at least % per cent, as to this point
will flow the millions which will be taken
from the hidden treasures of nature, which
will be wrung out by the hardy miners
through the insIiratioual effects Of the pas
sage of the Silver Bill.
"Thirdly-lhe certain advent of more than
one transcontinental railway within brief
space of time which is of equal Importance
with the impetus given he mining interests
from the regions of the North Pole in Alaska
to the most southern cline of the Pacific.
"Fourthly-The rapidly advancing inter
ests Of frut-growing and wine-making and all
kindred agricultural enterprises were never
in more promising slate than at the pres
ent time. Our lana may be truly said to be
flowing with milk and honey
"Fifthlv-The direct effects of the recent
decision Of the Supreme Court in defining
the ways and means for ening up new
distri IS, by the extension Of some Of our
leading lhorOughfareS, Is OF great Importance
ut the present time.
What is the outlook? | can simply say
immense, if that is sufficient to express 1t.
l am astonished at the amount of capital
that Is heading this way for investment IN
San Francisco real estate. This is coming
from every quarter. | expect shortly TO
place a large amount OF capital for my
clients in improved and unimproved real
estate in this city and county"
