light. A relatively more favorable re-
port comes from st. Louis that dry
goods, clothing, hardware and grocer
les are being sold in large quantities
for fan delivery. Detroit and AIilwau-
l1ee business interests are suffering
from strikes The most favorable re-
port comes from Kansas City. here the
movement OF merchandise continues re-
latively quite active; mercantile collec-
lions are fair and trade prospects were
never better Improvement is noted en-
the Pacific coast, due to the weather
which has rendered the crop outlook
more favorable ana stimulated pur-
chases in staple lines.

REALTY MARKET REVIEW,
Another Parcel of the Murphy
Homestead Sold at
Auction.
GOOD PRICES WERE REALIZED.
Business Is Materially Affected by
Banks Declining to Make
Loans.
GOOD PRICES WERE REALIZED.

The real estate market in this City has not
been so dull for years as it is at present. 1t is
all due to the uncertain feeling that the money
question in the Presidential campaign IS caus-
ing Probably the chief cause of the dullness
is the fact that the savings banks have practi-
cally ceased making loans, and there is no
reason to hope that they will alter their course
in this respect until after election. Not alone
are the banks not making new loans, but it is
difficult to obtain renewals of loans when the
latter fall due. This condition of affairs is not
calculated to make real estate men feel ve~y
cheerful, but they are trying 10 submit to the
situation with the best grace possible.
The few sales that are being made are OF
small properties and the purchasers are
usually those who are not dependent upon the
savings banks for money with which to buy.
The building and loan societies are just now
enjoying something of a boom, as borrowers
who are refused money at the banks have in
many instances turned to the building and
loan associations for relief, and as result the
latter are now placing considerable sums on
real estate on terms that are profitable to
shareholders.
1t was suggested by wellknown real-estate
man, while discussing the subject the other
day, that the present attitude of the savings
banks, while justified by circumstances,
might ultimately injure their business by
causing marked increase in the number OF
building and loan societies, which would
naturally result in a decrease in deposits in
the savings banks.
In many Eastern cities the building and
loan associations have almost entirely taken
the place of savings banks AS building asso-
citation loans are payable in either weekly or
monthly installments it is impossible in times
like these to cause unusual hardship among
borrowers, 1t being only necessary for the lat
ter to keep up their regular installment pay
ments. 1t is not difficult to make weekly
payments of $40 to $50 on loan as it is to be
suddenly called upon by savings bank to
take up loan at time when ali these ave-
nues for obtaining money are practically
closed.
The auction sale held last Saturday by Eas-
ton, Eldridge & Co. of another parcel of the
Murphy ranch in the Santa Clara Valley
should be encouraging to parties dealing in
country lands. While the prices obtained
were not quite as high as those obtained al the
former sale, yet they were quite satisfactory.
Out of the thirty-five pieces offered twenty
three were sold, and Wendell Easton stated
that the remaining twelve pieces were prac-
tically disposed Of as they would be SOLD
within few days at private sale. The num-
ber of acres sold was 21S, the total amount
realized being $26, 800, an average of little
over $120 per acre. The list of purchasers and
the prices obtained for each tract was as fol-
