The San Francisco call., 1899-05-27


although all the brokers appear TO be do
ing something and full of confidence in
the future outlook. No great revival is
looked for, however before fall after the
crops have been harvested and the money
from the country begins to flow into the
city. There is no question in the minds of
the more conservative dealers that the at
tempt on the part of few to create the
impression that prices were bound to go
up is responsible for the partial stagnation
that at present characteriZes the market.
Owners will not sell for what their prop
erty is worth and investors are not pay
ing fancy prices. The latter demand prop
erty that will pay a fair interest on the
price paid, and until the owners come to
realization of the fact that there is no
boom on transactions will be necessarily
limited.
Still property is changing hands daily
and some very considerable deals have
been consummated during the week, the
largest thus far heard from being a trans
action involving over 500 900, which was
carried through by Bovee, Toy & Sonn-
tag. For reasons best known to them
selves the names of both buyer and seller
are withheld for the present, but the
money TO bind the bargain has been paid
over and the deeds are now being pre-
pared
