Retail Business Property Near the Oity's COenter Attracting the Attention of Speculators, In making a retrospect of the real-estate market for the past twelve months, and looking forward, a very marked change in the condition of affairs now exists com- pared with a year aco. While it is true that confidence and faith in property asa basis of value is an important factor in fixing values, this general condition is very materiaily strengthened and sub- stantially sustained from the fact that the products of the State have an entirely dif- ferent market value than a year ago. It is pretty generally conceded thai val- ues of City property are regulated by the prosperity of the country about it, that it is tributary to the center, and the general tendency for the past five or six vears to a cohcentration of population to large cities has been unhealthy and un- natural, causing more consumers and less producers. As a result of the overturning of financial affairs, this condilion is bound to change, which will return to the country an increased number of tillers of the svil, and with the advance of the price of products will result a more healthy state of affairs, creating new vaiues based upon actual incorae, which will be healthy and permanent. California is a State of wonderful natu- ral resources in all the departments of agriculture and mining, as demonstrated through the severe financial pressure that within its own borders it could sustain itself and its people, and pass through the most severe ordeal in much better condi- tion than a great portion of the Union. If all signs can be depended upon the outlook for San Francisco property is specially attractive; first from the fact that the interior of the State is on the eve of wonder.ul development and an increase of population as a direct result of the in- creased price of farming produots; the property-holders generally in the City are in line with improvements, and the con- cert of action which is now going on irom the emulation of the improvement clubs must create a new condition of affairs and a renewed confidence in San Francisco as the mairopolis of the coast.
