REAL ESTATE
At Auction i'm the Near Future.
Sales Responsibilities.

Workmen are busily engaged on the
interior of the San Francisco Real
Estate Exchange, and it is expected
that everything will be in readiness
for the union auction sale to be held on the
Goth inst A catalogue of choice miscellaneous
city property will be submitted by several
Of the members.
Referring to the sale and future prospects
of the exchange, the San Francisco Real
Estate Guide, monthly paper published by
o. ID. Baldwin. Joost e. Mertens, has this
to say:
1.-THE Board of Directors of the San Fran
cisco Real Estate Exchange have decided to
celebrate the formal opening of the institu-
ton by the holding OF a grand auction sale
of real estate, to which each member is to
contribute one OF more choice pieces of
property to be offered. The event will come
off on Monday, the Goth of January, and
will mark new era in San Francisco real
estate circles The dominant feature will
be that fifteen or twenty of the leading real
estate firms in this city will turn out en-
maSse with their hosts of clients and
friends to give the occasion special eclat
and symbolic of the harmonious feeling
hencef0rth to prevail among agents in the
wholesome regulation of their business.
That each member, ana the public as well,
are vitality interested in seeing the under
taking great success, Will at once be ap-
parent. No commodity, no source of reye-
nue., has greater bearing on the prosperity
of community than the successful hand
ling of its real estate. The propagation of
a community of interests, the lack of which
has kept San Francisco in the background
for SO many years, will receive "a Won
derfui impetus through this all import
ant exchange. Ambitious projects for the
imnrnVnmaut and hpttpr p0-arnmant n r
city will range themselves side by side with
enterprises of even greater magntude-a
systematic effort TO bring settlers to our vast
State and to double the population and
wealth Of our city. 1t may be truly said that
no class OF our citizens are better ntted for
this hercuean task than the real-estate men.
Their intimate knowledge of our lands and
their b0undleSs enterprise only need the in
centlve OF combined action to set the ball
rolling. United they will in time even storm
the breastworks of the railroad monopoly.
Our merchants. our manufacturers ana our
agriculturists may safely follow their lead
and encourage ana applaud the initiative
taken by them on the mOmentOus question
affecting the prosperity of our common
wealth, for with the rea-estate men it will
not be idle talk, but action. That San Fran
cisco, then, is TO be congratulated upon the
assured fact of a Real Estate Exchange, COM
posed of the live members of its citizens,
goes without saying. Its influence will
