Is IN DEMAND.

POTRERo LOTS AND SELECTED
PROPERTIES TO CONE UNDER
THE HAMMER.

II actual sales in the real estate market
are not so numerous as the opening season
would le&d many interested persons to ex-
pect there is decided improvement in
confidence.
This, of course, has marked influence
on real estate interests, for while market
cannot be made in day it augurs much
for the future. The agents note better
feeling in all directions among capitalists
spectators and those who hope to have
homes of their own.
San Francisco has done very well during
the period of depression when compared
with some other cities, and all that is
wanted now is factor in strengthening
securities and making the people feel con-
tident OF prosperity in the future.
The property-owner and investor are in
doubt at present as to what they should do.
One reasons that he can make money by
holding his land for another year; or
thinks, perhaps, its price even now ought
to be advanced little, and the other won
ders whether it is wise to buy now with
prospects OF a rise in values or to waft
longer and see what the outcome will be.
But the shrewd buyer takes advantage OF
the time and secures whatever property he
can.
Central avenue, from. Geary street to Cali
fornia, are loud in their protests against
the manner in which the avenue has been
torn up and covered with piles of earth
and lumber by the Sutro Railroad Com
pany: Ground was broken on Central ave
nue. by Sutro'S men about a week before
the last elections. More than three months
have passed since then, but the electric
railway building has not progressed. Two
wide trenches have been dug in Central
avenue. 1t was formerly paved with btu
minous rock, but is now almost impass-
able. The trenches have not been filed
up and the city authorities wink at the dis
graceful condition of the street. Else
where out in Richmond trenches were dug
along the finished streets last November,
and the earth still remains in long ridges
on each side. There is no sign of progress
in constructing the Sutro road, and the
way Richmond streets have been cut up
does no good to real estate in the immedf-
ate neighborhood. After property-owners
pay for constructing streets some protec-
ton should be given to their interests.
