tone, though there is room for further enlarge
ment of trade. March is generally good
opening month, especially for the inaugura-
tion of spring auction offerings, and business
in that particular way has perhaps been all
that could be expected, considering that we
are just about emerging from a long season oi
depression.
Private sales have not been especially nu'
merous, but there is promise of a better record
in that direction in the near future, as the In
quiry for houses and lots daily becomes more
positive and general. Land has quality oi
permanence, and this fact alone recommends
it as medium for large or small capitalists
who desire safety and exemption from contln'
gencies which sometimes seriously affect
many other kinds of securities. OF course
periods of 6ullness and depression come along
now and again. but in the end everything
works out all right. and the landowner finds
that his property is worth as much and posi-
bly, grea. deal more than it ever was.
Cities will grow as long as the world lasts
and will increase in proportion as population
may multiply. San Francisco is growing
city, and investment in land within its boun-
daries can hardly fail to be otherwise than
profitable.
