Reports of Sales of Land and Im-
provemeats to Be Made

Los Angeles builders have been kept
fairly busy during the week closed ycster-
day, judging from the permits issued
from the office OF the superintendent of
buildings. and the total number of per-
mits, making due allowance for the fact
that Monday was observed as a holiday
is fairly up to the average, being a trihe
in excess of ten permits for each working
day of the week. Fifty-three permits were
issued, the total amount represented be-
ing $67, 795.
There is but one permit issued for a
large building, and the proportio of
brick structures is smaller than has been
the case of late. w. B. Stewart has be-
gun work under a permit to erect three
story brick building at the northeast cor
ner OF Broadway and Seventh strest. to
be used for stores, offices and rooms, to
cost $4,000. A. P. Johnson has been
given permit to change plans from a
wooden to brick building at the south
east corner of Hill and Fourth streets,
the change necessitating an additional
outlay of $4,000, and this completes the
list of brick buildings for which permits
were issued.
The builders Of lodging houses have
representatives for the week in r. II.

One has heard so much of the magnifi-
cent hospitality dispensed at Craig-y- Nos
by the great Patti that it is curious to
read the following opinion of one who,
some time since, stayed beneath the r oof
of the castle: ITO be entertained by
Nine. Patti at Crag-y-Nos doesn't amount
TO much. You hear good many folks
Boosting that they have enjoyed La
Diva's hospitality, and read accounts
thereof in the papers. If the general
public knew how absolutely uninterest-
lug a visit to me, PATHS house is, noto-
riety seekers would have less to say on
the subject As matter of fact, you
might just as well be in q hotel where
you knew nobody.
You arrive, unwelcomed bv host and
hostess, and you are shown to your
room. There you generally stay until
meal time, when you seek the dining.
room. Nine. Patti generally has break
fast in her own room, and is frequently
absent from luncheon. You see her ut
dinner time, but she is as inaccessible as
though she were dining on the stage of
Covent garden, while you were in the
audience. OF course, you have few
words with her later on, and probably
you hear her sing; but. as for any famil-
lar intercourse, it is quite impossible.
Time drags; you feel you have wasted
valuable moments, and you leave Craig
y-Nos without CLEAN of triumph"
Doesn't sound cheerful, does it?-The
Pelican.

REAL ESTATE MARKET
The Character of Lands in Demand and the
Future Prospects

Inc character OF LRnuS IN DemHnI anu the
Future Prospects
| 1t can hardly be SAID that the real
estate market is brisk, yet it certainly
cannot be said to be dull. Real estate
conditions and tendencies in and around
Los Angeles are crystallizing along lines
which make it necessary for the dealers
to rearrange their estimate OF things. In
former years the real estate market was
dominated by the speculative spirit and
even the buyer of a lot for home or q
farm to cultivate responded rather hear
tily to the argument that the land was
sure to advance in value and could soon
be sold at a handsome advance. Until
very recently lands were bought and in
cum brances assumed in the confident be-
lief that enhancing values would make
poss BILE sales that would enable the buyer
to pay of his mortgage and retain a sat
isfactory amount as clear profit. The
establishment of paratively stable
values has changed this tendency to a
marked extent, and land buyers, as a
rule, seem inclined at present to buy
lands adapted to special purposes and to
devote them to those purposes. If mort
cages are assumed, it is genrally,with the
expectation of paying them with money
obtained from other sources than the sale
OF the land mortgaged.
Judged in the light of the new depart
ure the real estate market is more than
fairly active. Buyers act cautiously, but
when land is sold it stays sold and for the
most part is Immediately improved. and
land purchased for speculative purposes is
commonly paid for at the contamination
of the deal. As a result, Los Angeles
LANDS, business, residence and agricultural,
have come to be held almost exclusively IN
the hands of solvent owners and the de-
moralizstion of prices which followed
boom operations has ceased.
AS to residence property, the market
seems likely to remain during the winter
in much the same condition as at pres
ent: moderately active, with prices stiff
ly held and BUYERS largely on cash
basis. As to agricultural lands there is
a premonitory symptom of a boom. The
Mississippi valley is filled with people
who desire or have decided 10 come to
California-and California throughout the
Mississippi valley means Los Angeles
and vicinity. For two or three years past
hard times and poor crops have made a
change of base impossible. Reviving
industries and unprecedented crops will
snable thousands OF people to make the
cnange desired, and this winter promises
to see Southern California flooded with
eastern farmers hunting seml-tropic
farms. They will bny for cultivation. how
ever, and not speculation and the electric
road town lot scheme argument will be
useless in their case.
