The San Francisco call., 1904-07-03

transfers OF city realty in the same
period for $22.O0S,22s. This is the
largest number Of sales in any six
months with one exception in the his
tory of the city. Last year the sales
in the first six months numbered 2S24
and in the first six months of the pre-
ceding year they were 3541. The only
six months equaling the first half of
the present year in number of sales
was in 1869, when the Central Pacific
Road entered the city. The total then
was 4615. In the second half of 1859
the sales were but 229S. The Circular
says:
1T will thus be seen that in the year
1869 the sales in the second half of
the year were more than 40 per cent
less than in the first half year in
amount and more than so per cent
less in number. The sales likewise in
the second half year of 1875 dropped
so per cent in amount and more than
sSA per cent in number. This show
ing for the first half of the year 1904
is therefore most gratifying, and the
indications seem to point to no great
cessation in real estate transactions
for the balance of the year 1904
SALES BY DISTRICTS.

were distributed as follows: 50-varas,

cisco, $50 sales. amounting to $272,-

sales, amounting to $7,6sT, ,544 outside
land and homesteads, 1014 sales, rep
resenting $2,0O4,s2S. These figures
show the strong drift Of capital toward
investments in the residence portions
of San Francisco. Downtown prices
are stiff and the people who believe in
San Francisco are devoting much at
tention to various sections where i'm
provement is assured, with consequent
appreciation of values.
During the month of June the sales
of city realty amounted to $4,176,550,
the largest amount of any month in
the first half of the present year. AS
showing the immediate direction Of
public interest. the distribution Of
