Land of Any Real Merit Touched the Bottom Notch Dur- ing 1896. An Exp'rt’s Op nior on the Condition of the Market ard the Pros- pects for the Future. Among the real estate dealers there is & growing conviction that their business is tend- ing upward and the market hes sssumed & more satisfactory tono. The noticeable improvement in the business outlook which tollowed the election has con- tinued, though it cannot be said that the prospects of a general rise of prices is very brilliant. In other words, while the gloom and uncertainty which hung over American | industry and commerce, s a result of the tariff agitation and threats of the Demoeratic party, | while the paralysis resulting from uncertainty | in this regard has been largely relieved by the | defeat of the Administration and its policy, still it must not be forgotten that the univer- sal depression which rests upon the whole in- dustrial and commercial world cannot be en- tirely removed as to this country by any local Political event. Nor did the Republican leaders or press promise during the csmpaign that a Repub- lican victory would immediately restore prices and values, without which it cannot be ex- pected that production and trade will assume a rapid upward tendency. What the Repub- licans did promise was that a repudiation of the Democratic party and its free-trade policy would dissipate the gloom and uncertainty in that regard and to that extent effect a revival. That result has besn achieved by the Repub- lican victory. In a‘ recent; interview with Thos Magee, the well-known real estate sgent, who is consid- ered an authority on all matters pertaining to | 1anded interests he spoke rather cheeringly of the prospects for better times. “I think,” said be, “thatall real estate having any real merit touched bottom in 1896. This City, he continued, “is entering upon & new era, and the San Joaquin Valley Road will be & very decided factor in this change. San Fran- | cisco can. before long, compete with the Enst | when railroad rates will have been reduced in | other parts of the State as they have been | through portions of the San Joaquin Valley | since the inanguration of the Vailey Road. | “The old rule of ail that the traffic will bear | has been permanently broken, and the old | monopoly and the new rond aiike will aid all sorts of development in the great valley by | charging reasonable frelght rate: The next | most important aid to City and State growth | and progress is the growth of beets and sugar- beet manuractories. | “The revival of gold mining on a legitimate { sis is another strong factor in favor of prog- | ress. Anud last, but by no means least, in the line of advance, 1s the subdivision of large | acreage into small tracts. When' the next | exodus of farmers comes here from the | they will be accommodated with far | lands at farming prices. | “The outlook for better prices for wheat, | fruit and wine is good, but perhaps the mos: cheering fact of all is that the water injected into the prices of farming lands by booms and boomers has been nearly all squeezed out. Hard times, low prices for land products and many foreclosures of mortgages did this. All of these things were recorded as misfortunes, and they were misfortunes, too, but mis | fortunes not without some compensation. “The real estate outlook is that the prices of all Jots in the dwelling regions that are within convenient reach of ¢ ble or electric cars will not fall further. The tendency will be up- ward, sithough we look for little advance in prices of any kind of dwelling property. of | either the first, second or third c'ass this year. | Prices of the two Iatter kinds of property have | fallen since May, 1891, 25 to 40 per cent. Many new houses, costing $1500 to £5000 each. have within' that time been erected in the districts where these reductions occurred, snd several fast electric-car lincs bave been | built out to them. These aids to progress and | increase of improvements, of course, tend to advance prices, and they would have so ad- | venced Inst sesr, but the pernicious effects of the inflation of 1839 and 1891 have not yet been wholly erased, and no immediate a wvance of prices can therefore yet be looked for Business properties of a'y kid, present or. prospective, payving anything like a fair net | income, will hold their own this year. The best business properties on Market street ce tainly will, and the next best, near to Market street, whether wholesale or retail, but espe- ciafly the Iatter, will not all be likely to show i wenker prices.”’ | “The most important transter in realty re- | ported during the pas: week has been the sale of the property at the north corner of Second and Mission streets to Wells, Fargo & Co. for the sum of 125.000. as it is reported. The lot has & frontage of 157 feet on Second by 112 feet ou Mission and New Anthony. W. H. Meeks, Gustav C. Landis and George A. Low are the sellers. REVIEW OF THE RECORDS.

The citizens of the Sunset District have under consideration many improvements for ihe advancement of the interests of that ter- ritory south of the Park. Ata recent meeting it was decided to petition the Supervisors to open I street, from First to Seventh avenue, which will give the district the outlet it much needs. The residents of the Sunset District claim that the objections of Adolph Sutro to the opening of this thoroughtare are not well founded. The subject of improving several other streets in the district is at present under con- siderution. A question of much importance now being agitated among the property-own. ers south of the Park is the need of a sewer outlet. The sewer ob First avenue, between Clement and Lake streets, having not yet been com- ;}e!defl, isat present choked wiih sand and nd. The residents of the Sunset district are to petition the Supervisors to erect twents-four electric lights in tue district between First and Twentieth avenues. Two new houses wiil be commenced during this week in the Heyman Tract, ou the north side of Alvarado sireet, between Dougiass and Hoffman.

Union Workmen Declare it Is Not Up to Specifications. The Marble Cutters and Finishers' As- sociation objects seriously to the charac- ter of work and to the workmanship be- ing performed upon the new interior mar- ble walls in the City Hall tower. Iu is claimed by the men of the Union that the marble isnot being polished and the con- struction is not according to plans and spe cifications filed in the City Architect’s office; in other words that the taxpuyers are not getting their money’s worth, and the local skilled marble-workers are made subservient to workmen little used to the particnlar work they are doing. A meeting of the ussociation was held yesterday afternoon at 10i9 Market street, ind the committee that had waited on the City Hall Commassioners last Saturday re- ported that it had been authorized to ap- point & good workman to polish a large sample of marble in the proper way so that it might be compared with the work being done in the City Hall. The sense of the mee!ing was that each individual member of the union shonld do his utmost to push the investigation to a final issue. Speeches on the subject were made by President Henken of the Build- ing Trades Council, and by Mr. Hughes of the Metal Roofers’ Union. James Suilivan, John T. McCann and John J. McCann were appointea delegates 1o the Building Trades Council. Another meeting of the marble-workers -;m be held next Sunday at 1019 Market street. Companions of the Forest.
