The San Francisco call., 1904-11-27

of moment being reported. In the out
lying districts it continues brisk and
the volume of business was equal TO
that of the same period last year. The
largest downtown deals were the pur-
chase of the block bounded by Front,
Battery, Green and Commerce streets
by w. P. Fuller & Co. for $4,000 and
the purchase of property on the east
side of First street, so feet south of
Howard, by the Selby Smelling and
Lead Company This property adjoins
the Selby company's plant. The pur-
chase price is reported to be $4,000.
The company will erect a salesroom
and warehouse on its newly acquired
property.
Near the park and the Ocean boule-
ward trading continues brisk. Sol Getz
& Son have made several sales and re-
port that fifteen contracts have recently
been let for new buildings in this dis
trict. These are all cottages, some to
be occupied by their owners and others
for rental.
Renting continues brisk, the demand
being at present for small flats at from
$25 to $50. There are more people seek
ing comfortable flats at this price than
can be accommodated, but business is
also good in the higher priced flats.
The subdivision of large ranches in
the Sacramento Valley has had the de-
sirable effect of attracting hundreds of
homeseekers c. NJ Wooster & Co. re-
port that sales of forty-acre parcels OF
land have increased beyond their ex-
pectation. The great Glenn ranch, for
instance, consisting Of $4,000 acres, has
been subdivided and houses are spring
ing up everywhere over the tract for
merly owned and farmed by one man.
Other large tracts will be taken up and
subdivided in the same manner as soon
as contracts can be made.
OUTLOOK is FAVORABLE.
With the approach of the rainy sea-
son the letting of large building con-
tracts has naturally fallen off, but real
estate men feel we'll satisfied with the
outlook and have no complaint TO make
of the present between season" period.
