a GOOD BUILDING OUTLOOK.
A Number of Auction Sales Announced
for This Month-The Weeks
Record.

crease in the mber of inquiries is re-
ported, but the number of sales being
made is limited. A number of auction
sales are announced for this month, two
OF which will take place this week. All
auctions held thus far this spring have
been in the main successful, and for this
reason brokers find encouragement in ar
ranging for others to take place IN the near
future.
The building outlook is encouraging as
compared with the past two years. Nearly
every week plans are given out for the
erection of business block or two, the
last notable one being that of the Spring
Valley Water Company to be erected at
the corner of Geary and Stockton streets
at cost of $300,Oo0. At this rate the total
amount of building for the year should
reach very respectable proportions. The
cost for building is perhaps at the lowest
point known for years, and where tenants
can be secured for new structures it is
found profitable to cover desirable build
ing sites with new and more slightly i'm
provements.
