demonstrate whether there is any speCldl ue-
mand for properties that are considered es-
pecially desirable for manufacturing or SINH
lar industrial enterprises The first of these
sales will take place tomorrow and will be
conducted by Easton, Eldridge q Co., at their
salesroom, 63S Market street The property
to be offered is owned by the San Francisco
Gasight Company, and consists of forty-one
lots fronting on First Fremont, Beale, Howard
and Natoma streets. In this section of the CT ty
many factories are located-in fact, the prop
erty is practically surrounded with mechan-
ical industries, and there is every indication
that this portion of San Francisco will become
more and more manufacturing center with
each ucceeding year.
AS an investment or for immediate use it
offers many inducements to those who desire
TO invest in property OF this character, and it
remains to be seen how well it will sell
Easton. EIdridge & Co. report great deal of
inquiry about the sale and anticipate a good
attendance tomorrow and brisk bidding.
The other sale of manufacturing property
referred to is that OF the Pioneer Woolep Mills 5
which will take place Wednesday, May 27,
under the direction OF Shainwald, Buckbee Il
Co The sale is peremptory, and The property
will be sold without limit TO the highest bid
der. This is an admirable situation for the
location of some large manufacturing enter
prise, and it will perhaps be put to such use In
neer Wooden Mill was looked upon and
pointed TO with pride as leading manufactur-
ing enterprise of the State.
variety of circumstances combined caused
the mill TO shut down some time ago and since
then nearly or quite all the machinery has
been removed. 1t would seem that il should
be possible to conduct probably in this City
large wooden mill. In Oregon there are five
large mills in active operation and they are
all said to be making money. California is
great wool producing State and with an abun-
dance of raw material, and the whole country
for market. IL would seem q II mill could
be operated here with profit as well as in Ore
gon. It was but recently that mill at Albany
in the latter State received an order from
Amsterdam, Holland for 800 bales OF blankets.
The real estate market for the past week
