Parrot Lot.
The Establishment of a Metropolitan
Bazaar Opposite the Baldwin
Is Proposed.

Negotiations are pending for the lease of
what is known as the PARROT lot, situated
on Market street. opposite the Baldwin
Hotel
A syndicate of capitalists is endeavoring
to secure the property for twenty years for
the purpose OF establishing grand bazaar
similar in its appointme to the one
owned by Wanamaker in Philadelphia.
The men who have these plans in view
have for several weeks been trying to get
favorable concessions from the representa-
tiYes of the Parrot estate. but up to yester-
day nothing definite had been done.
1t is, however. understood that the deal
will soon be completed and that the papers
are abou. TO be drawn up.
The whole matter has been shrouded in
much secrecy, and the people in possession
of the details are unwilling to talk about
them.
Washington Cooley, W no manages the Par
rOtt estate, said yesterday: The negot-
ations are not completed. and we don't
want anything said about them at the
present"
He thus admitted the rumors of the deal,
but decidedly and stubbornly refused 10
throw any more light on the matter.
From other sources. however, it was
learned that the men who were trying to
get twenty years lease propose TO put up
magnificent building, taking in the whole
lot. which latter extends 10 Stevenson street
from Market.
The building is to be many stories high
and is to contain departments for every
known article of luxury or necessity.
Restaurants. cafes, dry-goods counters,
hardware. stationery. laces. turs, j4welry
and thousands OF odds and ends purchase

San Francisco to the highest modern stand
