The San Francisco call., 1899-10-14


almost without exception predict Il
prosperous business for October.
| There is plenty of money seeking invest
ment, and the only drawback now IS de-
sirable offerings. Owners appear to be
unwilling to part with their holdings or
are asking too much for their properties.
Any one with a desirable piece of busi-
ness property, improved or unimproved,
should have no difficulty in disposing of
the same at a fair figure.
Business has been fairly good during
the past week, although no new sales
involving large amounts have been re-
ported. Confirmation has been received,
however, Of several sales of goodly pro-
portions heretofore referred to in these
columns. Among the latter is the sale
