REAL ESTATE MARKET.
Values Remain Firm i'm Spite of
the Weak Demand.
Great Activity in the Building Line on Both
Sides OF the Bsy-An Oakland Agents
Happy Thought.

The real estate market has shown no
marked change since the beginning of the
month. Values remain firm for every class
of desirable property, with little doing in
the way of trading
Improvements co ntinue right along. New
buildings by the score are contracted for
each week. while old ones in every quarter
Of the city are remodeled to suit the taste
of the modern housekeeper. The present
month will, NO doubt, bring about de-
mand for real estate more in keeping with
this spirit Of progress.
