are the more noteworthy when it is re-
membered that the largest transfer last
month was the Eide sale to James D.
Phelall for 500, 600. The number of sales
reeorded-764-is notable and is the high
est since early days, when so many small
subdivisions in South San Francisco and
the Homestead sections were marketed.
..The sales have been distributed in such
a way as to show a uniform increase in
nearly all sections over former figures,
the. exceptions being the Potrero and
South San Francisco sections, where the
figures are up to the average for many
months past. and the outside lands sec
tion where there has been slight falling
off.
Nor do the sales recorded for the
month fully indicate all the business done
in the month just closed. Seven very large
sales made In May amounting to s2.000.-
O0D. will be recorded during the next few
weeks and will probably place the figures

May figures.
