REALTY MEN LOOK
FOR BIG REVIVAL
While Market Is Not Lively in
December, Improvement viii
Come With New Year
Coming Celebration Will Show
Old Retail Section Has Been
Re=eStabIiShed

You can not expect a lively mar
ket at the approach of the holidays,
remarked W A. Wilson OF Speck,
Pascbel & Co. and the wet weather
has naturally had something TO do
with making the market duh.
December is never a busy month in
real estate circles, and this one is no
exception to the general rule II is
not. however, an Indication of less busy
times. for there is every reason TO be-
lieve that with the new year there Will
be d general revival of business. The
inquiry for ali kinds OF property holds
up and the sale OF lots for homes is
good. Leasing is active and there
seems no cessation in building. Where
leases or sales can be made on any
thing like favorable conditions there
is no difficulty in obtaining tenants or
purchasers. ] am informed there is
good inquiry among people for apart
menUs Of the better class. but high
prices prevail, and as hotel and apart
ment house keepers manage TO get
what they ask, ii is proof that the city
IS ia a good financial condition
OLD QUARTER RE-EsTABLISHED

other proof thai the old quarter has
been re-establiShed as the shopping
district for the city. The celebration
promises 10 be the most brilliant ever
held here, and viii mark in an en-
phstic manner the actual rehabilitation
u san Francisco. There is a feeling
noticeable that we are on the eve OF
great Development The most casual
glance VIII prove this. To whatever
line Of business you turn your attention

Third street whose owner was content

through the force OF circumstances was
compelled 10 open business in a small
place When he moved down town he
