VIEW OF PRESENT SITUATION.

With the exception of two large sales
by Mention IL McGlynn on Market street
within the past few days and some other
lots downtown movement in real estate Is
largely confined to land lying around
Golden Gate Park. This remarkable stir
Is undoubtedly due to the MidwiDter Fair,
which has brought property under the
notice OF people. Otherwise Richmond
and Southside would have been over
looked, in which case attention would
turn possibly to realty in the vicinity Of
Fairs extensive improvements on North
Beach or toward the Mission outskirts
Naturally enough when the market is ac-
tive In one direction feeling of support
is given elsewhere, so brokers find enough
business to keep them we'll occupied.
The situation is peculiar and will likely
remain so till after the holidays now near
at hand. Inquiry is undoubtedly good,
though intending purchasers are slow TO
decide. They are showing good DISPOSE
tiOn, however. which of itself is a hopeful
sign from the very fact that most of them
have money on term deposit in savings
banks and expect TO draw is out the first
week Of January. when notices given dur
ing the brief crisis will be acted upon.
There is sufficient money IN the banks
vaults to pay their demands, and when
that is drawn out real estate will feel new
blood in its veins. At the present time
depOsltOrs are looking out for desirable
lots that will tempt them 10 buy, and in
stead OF buying outright they are satisfied
10 watch chosen lots until they can get
money from bank.
With this state of affairs before them the
agents take philosophical view of the
situation aud expect a prosperous season
in the opening months of 1894.

OF stTeeicar lines out westward along Sac
ramento, Eddy, Devisadero. Clay and Lake
streets, thence Old Sixth ayehue to the
