had quieting effect upon the real estate
market in Oakland, q quietnesS that is
hardly justified by the attractiveness OF
offerings that are being constantly pre-
scented. This is proven by the large amount
Of inquiry prevalent and by the planning
that is being done to take advantage of the
first settled weather. The opinion is gen.
eral that never in the history of Oakland
was the outlook better or brighter at this
season. There seems little doubt that with
the assurance of fine weather travel will be
brisk, especially along the lines of the new
electric roads, the Piedmont cable and other
new or scenic attractions. The expectation
of lively season is also borne out by the
good results of the auction sales that nave
lately taken place.
