ne keoIty Riarket
Dealers generally report no market
increase in the inquiry for any particu-
lar line of property, but steady de-
mand for city lots and country lands
which results in sales which are some
what more numerous than has been the
case for a few months past. While the
demand for lots is chiefly for those
adapted to immediate improvement, no
locality seems specially favored, and
the buildings in process of erection or
proposed to be erected range from the
most pretentious residence to the hum
blest of homes.
In country lands the chief demand is
| for small places, though there is little
| increased tendency on the part of capi-
| talists to buy large tracts for subdivis-
| ion and sale in small parcels Most OF
these projects. however, are engineered
| by men who have entered into trades
which they have found too heavy to
handle, and have therefore sought the
! aid of new capital. AS a rule these pro-
| jects do not include special improve-
! ment in the way of water development
| or otherwise. and come more promi-
| nently before the intending investor
| than heretofore, only by reason Of bet
| ter advertising. AS has been the case
| of late, the would-be buyer still gener-
| ally prefers to hunt up the land he be-
| lieves will suit his purpose and deal
direct with the owner.
| Orange lands set to trees which have
| not yet attained age sufficient to make
| the price seemingly prohibitive to men
unused to California prices are In good
| demand. The season has seen no high
| prices, but the demand has been steady
