REVIEW OF REAL ESTATE,
Facts and Figures Indicating
an Improvement in the
Market.
AUCTION SALES ANNOUNCED.
Maeee on City and Country Loans.
Reports From Stockton and
San Jose.

The totals of another months business
show material improvement in the real
estate market, as we'll as IN the building
trades This is brought about in the first
place by the inclination Of strong capital
to secure good investments on the main
thoroughfares, which has been followed, as
usual by investments in smaller prop
critics. Improved real estate showing a
fair earning is in fair demand, ahd can be
sold very close up to the full market price.
The desirability of modern places of bust
ness and up-to-date residences has brought
about a noticeable demand for the better
class of vacant properties. Transactions
can now be closed NY much easier than
few months ago.
There were 296 sales during August,
which Thomas Magee estimates amounted
to $1.070, 191. The amount of real estate
loans for that period was 81, 101 ,977, while
the releases granted represented 81, 125, 422.
A number of large loans were made at 81
per cent, and few as low as 6per cent, but
with tax levy of 2.252 it is not probable
that the prevailing rate will fall below 81
per cent this year.
During the month of August 143 build
ing contracts were rec orded, of total

range from S120 per acre for best location
in bottom lands to SIS for the poorest hills,
upon easy terms of payment.
Poehlman's Real EstateCircular says: An
increasing demand for real estate charac-
terized the market during the month of
August, and, although the buyers have
not as yet recovered the old-time boldness
and dash which of themselves created con-
fidence, the market may be described as
being in healthier tone, with bright pros
poets for a greater improvement. Che
park panhandle district is in fourishing
condition, and when the streets fronting
on the panhandle are put in the splendid
condition contemplated no finer residence
location will be found in San Francisco
AS it is, good figures have been offered for
the lots there and refused by the owners
who propose to build or hold as a perma-
nent investment.
George C. Luddington, manager of the
auction department of Easton, Eldridge &
Co., reports that this firm is catalogueing
properties for miscellaneous sale on the
18th and one on the oath of this month.
Charles Sumner Young, owner of the
Searchlight Addition to Stockton, reports
a lively sale of lots for both specula-
tive and residence purposes aggregating
an outlay of $4,000 during the past week.
Sol GetZ & Brother sold the following
properties recently:

objection, but a brief experience in making
such loans will disclose many. The city
lender, guided only by the testimony pre-
sented, cannot determine accurately the char
acter of the borrower in advance of making
loan. There are in farming in California, as in
every other occupation, many persons who are
lndolent, unskiflful, unthrifty, given to specu-
laton, prone to change and from such classes
out little can ever be expected in the way of
payment OF interest or repayment of principal.
Loans TO such parties necessarily result in fore
closure suits, and then follow ownership,
taking possession, care and renting of prem
lses and hunt for purchaser.
Each one or these successive steps costs far
more in time, trouble and cash than the same
would in the city. So far as sentiment influ-
ences the making of loans the interior has the
advantage. 1t has been and still is felt to be
the duty of those having the control of money
to aid development in the country. At the
same time sentiment must be subordinate to
hard facts and experience. Money must be
loaned as goods are sold-in the best market.
Loanlng in the country is no longer expert
mental. Its advantages and disadvantages are
now we'll understood One fact is certain-the
interior is not Disseminated against The
proof is found in the experience of the savings
banks, that money loaned in the country at
nominally high rates produces no greater net
average returns than that loaned in the city.
When the farmers of California become less
migratory in their habits, and when the feel
ing of attachment to their homes as such be-
comes stronger, country loans OF small amounts
will be more ii favor with city lenders.
The largest releases granted during the
past week were as follows: To Margaret
Richardson, $40, 900, by the Bank of Califor-
MIA, on property 6S:9x137 :6 on the north

G. F. Moore of 935 Market street reports
the sale of number of lots in the Jackson
II homestead, Stockton. Mr.. Moore was in
Stockton on Monday last with a represen-
tative of San Francisco capitalists who
propose to erect a large hotel, plans for
which are now being prepared, the site
selected being in close proximity to the
Jackson Baths. A depot site for the Corral
Hollow railroad has been located on prop
erty adjoining the baths, which with the
building of a hotel would cause an ad-
vance in the real estate in that section.
Wooster & Written of Jan Jose, in writ
ing of the real estate market in their
monthly Real Estate Review for Santa
Clara County, say:
While it cannot be said that there is great
activity in the market, there is, however, con-
siderable inquiry for improved orchards at
reasonable prices. Also some demand for
large tracts implanted The fruit industry has
long since ceased to be luxury. 1t is one of
the great factors of trade, staple article OF
commerce, growing in popularity each year as
the quality and skill in preparing it improve.
This years experience has furnished forcible
demonstration of this industry. While oil
other products from the soil have suffered
with the general downward tendency incident
to the demoralized financial condition, the
orchardist continues to raise fruit and the
market takes it at price rendering to him
greater returns than any other legitimate
business in our land. And still the producer
and consumer too far apart. The luxury
of middlemen comes too high.
Blainy 81 Cooper, real-estate brokers
of San Jose, sold the well-known Mcclellan
fruit ranch, located nine miles from the
Garden City in the foothills. for $4,000:
They report an increased inquiry for small
fruit farms IN the Santa Clara Valley.
Another larger and perhaps better known
tract of land in Santa Clara County is the
Machado Rancho, IN the hands of the San
Jose land-dealer B. F. Branham. 1t is
situated twenty-three miles south of San
Jose and two miles from Tenant station
on the Southern Pacific Railroad, and
equi distant between the growing towns Of
Morgan Hill and San Martin. 1t consists
of rich sediment bottoms on the Llagas
Creek, sloping uplands and rolling. grassy
hills. The bottoms are especially adapted
to fruits of all kinds; the uplands to fruit
and grapes. The hill lands offer many fine
locations for small orchards and vineyards,
with fine pasture attached. The prices

The Cabman Was Right,

John Maynard of Freeport. ILL.,, was de-
termined to demonstrate last night that he
was not to be imposed upon even if he was
from bucol;c town.
He engaged Hackman Reynolds to take
him from the Illinois Central to the Union
depot. When he arrived there he found
that his train had gone. Then he had
the hackman take him to the Northwest
ern depot. When he arrived there the
hackman charged Maynard 81. The latter
refused to pay it and was arrested. When
Justice Kersten heard the evidence this
morning he fined Maynard SIS and the
costs on a charge of disorderly conduct.
Maynard said he probably was wrong, but
he understood the cab fare was 80 cents

Sometimes in an impulse Of disgust
he would throw the bottle out Of his

he would sit with countenance Of in.

He would tilt it one way and tr-v TO

then suddenly reversing it, try 10 catch

Under the impression that he could
capture tie sugar by surprise, he kept

into regular knots round the bottle.
