1t Is Rather Quiet on Account OF Poiitf-
cal Times.
Real estate sales the past week were few
and far between. Brokers throughout the
city report the market very inactive. but
prices firm. The dizziness they attribute to
no lack of demand for paying investment
property, but to shOrtness in the supply
of such offerings. The intense interest
manifested in the approaching municipal
election by the leading citizens and prop
erty-holderS Is another important factor
entering into the situation. Should good
men be elected to fill the various offices OF
the city and the county, real estate in
yestments would very soon be sought for
in such way as to speedily relieve the
savings banks Of their burdeGsome surplus
OF money. An honest, straightforward adj
ministration OF city affairs Tor The next two
years will so great way toward restoring
confidence and activity to the real estate
market, while corrupt administration
will surely tend to make matters even worse
than they are at present.
The most important event. probably,
that will enliven the market this week is
the auction sale to be held by Tevis &
Fisher on Wednesday. The catalogue is
made up of exceptional offerings that
should not fail to receive the most careful
investigation Of every person at all inter-
ested in San Francisco real estate Among
others are Pacific Heights residence lots.
