OAKLAND LOTS FOR SALE
AS Securities Strengthen in Price
Real Estate Cannot Go Lower,
but Must Improve.

Transactions in real estate are not so
many ns customary for this season Of the
year. The reason seems to be more from
the reluctance of owners to dispose of
their property at any less figures than they
have been accustomed to imagine repre-
sented the proper value. rather than from
a deartb of buyers. The chief difficulty at
present is, that owing to the dizziness in
many classes of trade, buyers think they
should be able to purchase city realty be-
low the market price, and at the same
time real estate is held firmly.
Notw outstanding the shrinkage in other
securities, there has been, comparatively
speaking, but a moderate depreciation in
the value Of real estate. And now that
other securities are strengthening in
price it can reasonably be surmised that
real property has reached q bottom figure.
and going in sympathy with SUCH securi-
ties IL may increase in price from now on.
