Realty Agents.

Money in Savings Banks to
Change Hands.
FEATURE OF THE FIRST WEEK.
Prospects for Spring Business De-
ponds on Financial Condition.
Sales and Building Notes.
FEATURE OF THE FIRST WEEK.

The principal feature of real estate
transactions this week appears TO be
new Inquiry from people who have money
In saving banks and intend turning their
capital into homes. Some agents have re-
ceived several such inquiries, and say that
this unexpected turn brings with it an en-
couragiDg prospect for the spring months.
1t certainly would indicate that depositors
n the savings banks have confidence in
city land; also that the money stringency
has opened their eyes to the advisa bility
of owning homes for which they would
have to pay no rent
With regard to the attitude of savings
banks toward real estate little change can
be noted. Rumors are around that banks
will loan toward the end of this month,
but for certainty banks themselves a y
not say that mortgages Will be the rule
before March or April. Too much faith
should not be placed in immediate loans
The probabilities are that the real estate
market will remain quiet for two months
more at least, as banks may not see the
way clear TO loan until the popular pulse
Is felt with regard to finance. If large
sums in term deposits are not Withdrawn,
and depositors have confidence in the in
situations that passed through the severe
ordeal OF last July, money will be plentiful
in very short time.
Umbsen's Real Estate Record for De-
cember gives hopeful view of this years
prospects in real estate business. In the
course of a retrospect running back ten
years it says:
1T follows that the better the beautiful
city upon hills overlooking the grandest
bay in the world is known. the quicker
will be its development. The success of
the Mldwinter Fair is assured, and with
the advertisement of the city's possibili-
ties so obtained, the growth of San Fran
cisco is bound TO be greater in the coming
than In the past ten years. The financial
strain is over. and our banks have been
proved stronger than almost anywhere
else in the country. Thousands of visitors
will flock here, and besides placing a very
large amount of money in circulation and
stimulating business of all kinds, many
will invest in city land, which is far
cheaper than in any city in the United
States of equal promise. Therefore, real
estate values are bound to appreciate, and
the year 1894 prove the banner year, not
only for this city but the entire State"
Although In the latter half of 1898 fnan-
cial depTeSsinns of extraordinary character
retarded building operations, fair average
in value of contracts was maintained, as
tie following statistics for the past eleven
wears will show.

Lunch for Workers.

To tho Editor Of the Morning CAL: DEAR
SIR-Seeing by your valuable paper the scarcity
OF food among the workmen at tile park and
knowing how bad il must be for them would
propose that every woman that can do so. and
think that many can, would send to the Mer-
chants Exchange by their husbands, sons or
daughters, working downtown. lunch TO be
given TO those in need. People living near the
park could send or bring lunch TO some con-
venient place IN The park, for instance the
cbildren's playground, il being a central place
and convenient for the men. Ladies. both
young and DID, who drive 10 the park, could
also, with the assistance OF small cOal-oil stoves
and case OF drinking vessels. packed away 10
their buggies, supply hot eoff e for the men.
and by so doing assist them and improve their
own health. There are numbers of women and
girls IN this city with lots OF idle time and who
are k!Dd-hearted and would help out IL IL was
only suggested to them. Yours respectfully,
HOUSEKEFPER.

MAY WHEAT.
A Little Furry on the Street Yes
terdaV.

What looked like an incpient wheat deal
startled the street yesterday morning and. with
wheat declining in Chicago, the market was
going upward, starting at 81 1919 at the morn
ing session of the Produce Exchange and clos
ing at EOon with the figures at 81 2l1s. AT the
afternoon session there was a slight falling of
10 81 2O55 because OF no buyers appearing.
Cutter & MoSeley caused the commoTioD by
taking all the May wheat that was offered
amounting 10 between 5000 and 10000 tons,
which Is supposed 10 have been for McGaufiin
& Co. Who the latter are acting for is left TO
conjecture, rumOr having il though that Bal
Tour, Guthrie & Co. and James u. Fair, as wei
as themselves, are interested.
A member OF the McGlautiin firm declined TO
identity the purchasers, but explained that
wheat, being lower than it ever went before
IS good purchase at the figures of yesterday
Their customers had plenty of money ana were
buying as an observation-disclosures wheat Is
cheap-cheaper than was ever before known in
the history of the world. "There has got TO be
natural reaction and our customers know
what they are doing" said the gentleman.

SUGGESTIONS

For the Relief of Men Out of
Employment.
The executive committee has suggested
as further means of raising money that
the employees of any firm or establishment
might help to relieve the necessities of
some less fortunate and deserving person
by taking up subscription among them
selves. giving such an amount as they can
afford. Such sums could be sent TO the
committee having in charge the relief OF
the unemployed. Employees thus con-
tributing would have the satisfaction of
kn owing that for every dollar contributed
a worthy man could be given days work.
The committee hope that large amount
may be subscribed in this manner.

KILLED BY THE LOCOMOTIVE
An Aged Citizen of Glendale
Instantly Killed.
He Was Struck by an Incoming
Railway Train.
The Question of Speed OF rrains In the
City Limits Is Brought Out
ms q Result of the
Accident.

F. III, Eckford, an aged citizen of
Glendale. was struck and instantly killed
by train No. Al, on the Southern Cali
fornia railway, at the curve near Walnut
street, East Los Angeles, at 10 O'Clock
yesterday morning.
The old gentleman was driving to the
city from Glendale with load OF veg
stables. As he approached the crossing
near the stock yards he noticed the train
rushing toward him. The horse appar-
emily became unmanageable and at
tempted to cross the track. The station
whistle was blown by Engineer Hayes
only few minutes before, and at the
time OF the accident the bell was being
rung.
The locomotive struck the wagon in
about the middle, knocking Mr.. Eckford
out and emashing the vehicle into a
hundred pieces. He evidently alighted
upon the cowcstcher or the rail, as his
head was horribly crushed and the lett
leg broken.
Che old gentleman was thrown to the
left side OF the track, where the train
men found him gasping. He expired
shortly afterwards.
Coroner Gates held an inquest upon
the body at the undertaking rooms OF
r. l.. Garrett & Company, at 2 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon.
Engineer Hayes testified that he saw
Eckford drive upon the track, and he
Immediately put on the air brakes and
reversed the engine. He was contra
dicted in this statement by Newsagent
w. W. Adams.
Conductor 8. w. Mcdaniel stated that
the train was running perhaps ID miles
an hour, and that he heard the STATEN
whistle blow and the bell ringing. q.
A. Condor, the baggageman, stated the
train was running perhaps 10 miles an
hour. AT this, the jury said it WAS GER
tainly wrong to allow trains to run al
such rate inside the city limits. The
ordinance calls for speed OF not over
eight miles an hour between Downey
Avenue on the north and Seventh street
on the south.
E F. Lewis, the fireman, stated that
he did not see the old gentleman until
he was struck. The engineer put on
the air brakes just before the engine
struck him. The train was going be-
tween Is and 18 miles an hour.
Captain McKeag OF tho East Side po-
lice station stated that the train on
that line ran quite fast. There was a
WHEELING post there. He had heard nc
complaint against whistling along that
point, but he had been complained to
about the trains running 30 fast.
Mrs. Edith Alexander of 1873 Walnut
street stated that she saw the accident.
Th engine struck the buggy and carried
it along the track. She thought the
train WAS running at the usual rate OF
speed.
Mrs. Price. daughter of the d o
ceased, stated that her father WAS II
years of age and had resided at Glen
dale for over year. He left home a.
8 o'clock yesterday morning. The horss
was hard to hold and WAS easily fright
ened at times by trains.
The jury returned a verdict OF ACC i
dental death. No blame was attached
to the railway company.
