MARKET REVIEW
ALI Gloom and Uncertainty
Gradually Clearing
Away.
First Installment of Taxes Will

Monday.
Eff CTS of the Recent Decision of the
Wright Irrigation Law on
Property Interests.

The noticeable improvement in realty affairs
as well as in other branches OF business which
followed the election has continued, though
it cannot be said that the prospects of gen.
eral rise of prices in real estate are very bril-
liant. In other words, the gloom and uncer-
tainty which hung over the country pending
the recent election has been cleared away.
One of the leading topics OF conversation
among the real-estate agents during the past
week has been the recent decision OF the
United States Supreme Court holding the
Wright irrigation law of California to be con-
stitutional. The opinion is that the effect of
the decision will be to establish abroad a
larger degree of confidence in California in
vestments and to encourage capitalists to In
vest their money in California lands.
