Retail Business Property Near the
City's Center Attracting the
Attention Of Spectators.

In making a retrospect of the real.estate
market for the past twelve months. and
looking forward, very marked change in
the condition of affairs now exists COM
pared with year ago. While it is true
that confidence and faith in property as a
basis of value is an important factor in
fixing values, this general condition is
very materially strengthened and SUBJ
stantially sustained from the fact that the
products of the State have an entirely diff
ferent market value than year ago.
1t is pretty generally conceded that val
ues of City property are regulated by the
prosperity of the country about it,
that it is tributary to the center, and the
general tendency for the past five or six
years to concentration of population 10
large cities has been unhealthy and un-
natural, causing more consumers and less
producers. AS result of the overturning
OF financial affairs, this condition is
bound to change which will return 10 the
country an increased mum ber of tillers of
the soil and with the advance of the price
of products will result more healthy
state Of affairs, creating new values based
upon actual income, which will be healthy
and permanent.
California is State of wonderful natu-
raj resources in all the departments of
agriculture and mining, as demonstrated
through the severe financial pressure that
within its own borders IL could sustain
itself and its people, and pass through the
most severe ordeal in much better condi-
| ton than a great portion of the Union.
II all signs can be depended upon the
outlook for San Francisco property is
1i,Ii at fret Goo
that the interior of the State is on the eve
of wonderful development and an increase
of population as direct result of the in
creased price of farming products; the
| property-h olders generally in the City are
in line with Improvements, and the con-
cert OF action which is now going on from
the emulation of the improvement clubs
must create a new condition of affairs and
a renewed confidence in San Francisco as
the metropolis OF the coast.
