The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1894-12-08

With regard to the market the circular
says:
''The real estate market runs all one
way. There is no demand for any kind of
large business investment but central re-
tail business property, north of Market
street, or for property which, if not now
within that favored circle, is close to it
and will manifestly be within it in a few
years. For wholesale business and manu.
featuring property, especially the latter
there Is in the first case little and in the
later case no demand whatever. The
price of the first has been greatly reduced,
while the latter has fallen so much that
no one can now say just what 1T really is
worth. The demand for large residences
and lots, or for vacant land suitable for
large residences, is small. Some very fine
bargains in the first described class of prop
erty can now be had. Houses and lots west
ward, In good Localities, worth $4,000 to
$4,000, sell tolerably we'll, as do ais lots
similarly situated, worth $1,000 to $4,000,
these latter prices being for lots which
three to four years ago sold for $1,000 to
$4,000. In other words, city real estate is
dull. decidedly dull. and prices every
where, but in very small choice retail
circle, dropping. And so it is likely To
continue until new industrial schemes for
the city or new plans for State develop
ment are devised. Those who have de-
clined to aid the San Joaquin Valley rail-
road project should work for the Nicara-
qua canal. by sending a representative
body of men TO Washington TO urge Con-
gress to pass the bill. The construction of
that canal would revoiutiopize the marine
commerce of the world, and aid San Fran
cisco as nothing else would"
