AUGUST BUSINESS RECORD.

Magee's Real Estate Circular contains the
following review of the real estate market for
the month of August:
Considering the disturbed condition of
financial affairs generally, and that the foolish
boarding of money has been so great that
there is said to be not single box to let in
any of the safe deposit companies of the City
there was very good demand for City real
estate last month. The most of the buyers
are persons of limited means, their purchases
ranging from $1,000 to $4,000. There are, how
ever, also, a good many investors of sums
ranging from $50, 900 to $50, 600, but of large
buyers willing to invest from 500, 900 up
lmpossl bic, too, to get what they are after, be-
cause, low as the prices of even the best prop
critics now for sale are, none of them are low
enough TO suit present large buyers. There is
at present an unusually small amount of good
property Tor sale, owners seeing nothing better
IN which to invest their money.
we never remember time when good aver
age vacant lots, all things considered, could
nave been bought so cheap as they can at
present. Lots near the park, which were
$4,000 to $3.50 each between the wears 1889
and 1891. can now be had for $500 to 5000
each. Even on Pacific Heights prices for
vacant land have Deen materially reduced
Fairly located property there can now be
bought for % per cent less than it could two
TO four years ago. The very best property
there, however, still holds its own. Those who
ever mean to acquire homestead here should
note these facts.
The following is also from Magee's Circular:
