Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
1O16 Broadway, July "a.
The rapid growth and general pros
perity of Oakland during the last year
has attracted the attention of people
from all parts of the East and real
estate dealers are receiving inquiries
every day regarding the prices Of prop
erty in this city. These inquiries come
not only from home seekers. but also
from real estate spectators and from
men seeking business investments. A
weIl-known local broker said this
morning that the majority Of sales
made by him during the week were
to non-residents of Oakland.
The chief difficulty experienced by
real estate men is to secure a sufficient
number of cottages and small homes to
accommodate prospective renters. AS
the vacation season draws to a close
this difficulty will increase. This con-
dition is considerable surprise to local
brokers, for during the year many
houses of this class have been built to
rent, and in addition many apartment
houses and flats have been erected

nance Real Estate Company said to-
