THE NEW BONDS.
Some Inquiry for Them

1t Is Not Known Whether ANY
Actual Bids Were Made by
Local Capitalists.

There are some capitalists In San Francisco
who think enough of Uncle Sans credit to
make the assertion that they are willing 10 in
vest quite liberally in the new bonds which
Secretary Carlisle Is about 10 issue, but whether
any OF them will be fortunate enough to get
one OF the coveted papers is as yet unknown.
There has been a good deal of inquiry at
the sub-treasury," said Colonel Jackson yes
terday, Gin reference TO the new 5-per-cent
bonds, but as to whether there were any actual
bids from San Francisco am unable TO state
The ci cular sent out by the Secretary of The
Treasury provided that offers should be made
to the Secretary direct, and that the person
making the offer might designate any one of
the various sub-treasuries and the bonds
would be deposited there and they would re-
ceive his money.
''No bids were made through my office;
but there were a number of inquirers to
all OF whom l gave blanks which they might
fill out and forward to Washington. MANY or
these INQUIRIES came from estates which had
moneys to invest or TO deposit and on which a
very small rate of interest would be satisfac-
tory.

which he would put into the bonds, and the

FEBRUARY OPENS BRIGHTLY.
BUSINESS WILL MOVE EASILY.

The main topic OF discussion among real
estate men yesterday WAS a long list OF
mortgages in tie breviate Of records.
Such large mum Der of loans had not
been recorded in any one day for a long
time, and as it was the 1st of February
this showing was regarded as very signifi-
cant.
II gave proof that the savings banks
had begun in earnest to disburse money
where most needed on city real estate, and
also promised a continuance of this wei
come distribution. The Hiberna Bank
was down for mortgages of 5000, $1,000,
$4,000. $4,000. $1,000. $4,000, $1,000. Sl400,
S1545, $4,000, and also $50, 900 loan. the
last on property on north line of Sacramento
street, 1889 east of Fillmore. east % by
north 12S. The rate in all was per cent.
The German Savings Bank had mortgages
as follows: $4,000, S14OO, $500. $1,000,
$1,000. $1,000, $4,000, $500, $4,000; and the
French Bank $4,000 and $500. Besides
there were several private loans of large
amounts.
If this loanng be continued, real estate
must receive an impetus that has long been
needed, and the money, finding its way
through carpenters, painters, plumbers,
supply men, etc, Will make every branch
of trade more prosperous than it has been
since the financial crisis came last July.
The real estate market has commenced to re-
vlYe under the pl aSaGt prospects thus given
and agents are feeling encouraged.
a retrospect, which will be found interesting,
Is given As follows from Edwards CriteTioD:
The value of the real estate transactions re
corded for the year 1898 may be summarized as
follows: Three thousand four hundred and
twenty-five sales. am ounting to Sl1e95 29l. The
sales Tor the last half Of the year show a great
falling off over those OF the first half OF the year
in all sections of the city. except in the Richmond

sa es and their value In the different sections OF
the city tor the last six months of 1898:
