Releases for the weck were $202.845, including one of 000 by the Regents of the University in favor of the Mechanics’ Institute. ‘The total loans upon local realty durirg the month of January were $2,615,142, and the total releases in that month were $2,- 046,510. Nearly all the banks hold less loans on realty now than one month ago, and it is the same in the case of indlvi ual chnl- tal ad 1t not been for the $1 bor- wed by Mrs. Florence Bly the—uoora in Nev York which is included in the Janu- ary loans, the totals would have been moooo in favor of the repayments, instead of the 000 excess on the side of the loans. The banks continue to receive de- rolus in large amounts, and In spite of he lowering of the rate of interest on loans to 6 per cent they are still compelled and | to Cecllia | 'to seek investments in bonds in order to ¢arn minimum dividends for thefr depos- tors Only three building contracts were & a | flled during the week. Wells, Fargo & |& Hayden Co. contracted with Richardson & Gale ‘fnr additions and alterations, to cost to stable bulldings on the south- | t line of Folsom street, 137:6 feet | mmhv\e:( of Secnnd street; Laura M. Taylor with L. J. vyer, for palnung and graining, to cost n:a() on buildings on the | north line of Washington street, 60 feet east of Polk street; Cora L. Floyd estate with R. P. Hurlburt, for repairs, etc., to street. For the month of January, 1900, seven- ty-four building contracts, - valued at 381, were recorded, against twenty- four contracts, valued at $219,748, for Jan- uary, 189, and thirty-two contracts, val- ued at $188,423, for January, 1888. The Building News and Review says that 1900 has commenced with a good showing as There is more work in prospect at the opening of the year than there has been | tor any one year since 1890. A noticeable change has taken among the wholesale houses whose lace usi- | cost $1450, to bullding at 221 Sansome | far as building interests are concerned. | ness is principally the furnishing of sup- lies for the buflding interests. ike Miller, _Sloss Scott, tague .. Dunham, Company, etc., will not \uell goods any more at retall. They are tired of filing liens, and in the fu do not intend to have business with a one unless the same is entirely consistent | with wholesale trade. This s no more | than just to retailers, who for many years have claimed that their trade was being ruined by wholesalers selling goods | to any one, at prices considerably Jower that retailers could afford. This is di- | rectly attributable to the advent of good times. When times are dull any firm feels justified in selling goods to any one who comes along. When times are good | sales are only made to legitimate dealers. The number of mechanics’ liens flled in this city during January, 1900, was s ty-eight, of the total value of $I1 against thirty-six. valued at 310 r January, 1599. The releases of these liens in January, 1900, were five, valued at §1630, against nineteen, valued at $6014, for January. But few people want the things that are to be had for the asking.
