They | also managed a very successful | enter- | tainment in Metropolitan Tempie and | was started | dy members and they have met | in organizing from the proceeds bought 50,00 badges | and cards showing membership in the | bands. Following upon this the ladies | arranged for a series of lectures by prom- | inent speakers in_the parlors of the Oc- | cidental Hotel. The first of these has | been delivered by Professor David Starr | Jordan and the mext will be given in a short time by Professor Montague of Stanford. His subject is to be “The Im- mortality of Animals.” The organization of the bands has made no end of work for the officers of the so- tective and every day dozens of com- plaints are handed in to the office in the Parrott bullding by the children. While many of the reports are without special merit, still there are not a few which upon investigation by the older people re- sult in relief being afforded dumb ani- mals. As a fact a man cannot now abuse an animal with any assurance that his not be reported at_ the office, as every other child in the block is an agent of the society. That the younger generation is rapidly being educated in the line of kindness to all dumb creatures is now an established fact. Such was the | report made by Mrs. C. B. Holbrook, | president of the ladies’ department of the | society, at the first annual meeting yes- terday. At that gathering Mrs. Hol- brook was again seiected to preside; Mrs, Amy Waters was elected secretary and Mrs. 8. H. Whiting as treasurer. —_———— Insurance Company Dissolves.

Brokers report a good January busi- notwithstanding the fact that no of gpecial magnitude have been con- summated since the first of the year, and February up to the present time has been even better than the preceding month. Several big deals which have been hang- ing fire for some time past are in a fair way of being closed within the next week 1 | or two, and brokers are consequently in high spirits. One deal In Market-street reaity involving nearly $200,000 has within the past few days been practically closed by A. M. Speck & Co., and although it ay be several weeks before the deeds are gned and the details made public it can safely be said that the bargain has been mac Referring to the condition of the real estate market in San Francisco the San Francisco Real Estate Circular, published by Thomas Magee & Sons, says in its is- sue for February: here was a temporary lull in the real estate market so far as large transactions were concerned in the first month of the new year. There was a fair demand for lots for flats inside of Gough and for dwellings and flats worth $5000 to $10,000. There is inquiry for investments between | Mission and Folsom, First and Steuart. Land between Post, Turk, Taylor and venworth has been selling. The aver- age business therefore has been good, even if no very large transactions were consummated. The total number of sales in January was 260 of the value of $3,045,- 168, against 233 sales in December aggre- gating $1,470,878. The same publication also contains the following, which will be of interest to the public: For five years previous to 1898 those who are always pessimists pointed to the fact that five or six old wholesale houses, mostly in the dry goods trade, had gone out, of business and had not been succesded by any new firms. This was said to leave the impression that there never would again be any more pros- perity in wholesale business here. But the present condition of wholesale business shows that past dullness was only temporary. Never, perhaps, in the history of the city has that branch of business been more prosperous. Murphy, Grant & Co. lately added an upper, a fifth story, to their building and have taken in’ thirty-five feet more front space on the ground floor. Levi Strauss & Co. lately pur- chased $100,000 worth more land adjoining their already very large premises on the north and a very fine new five-story bullding is now being erected to cover it. Lewls Meyersteln & Co. not_long since moved from a very small three- story building on Sansome street to a corner 50x85, on which they occupy a five-story build- ing. ' Miller, Sloss & Scott, hardware dealers, are bullding on thelr own lot, 137:5 feet square, a very fine five or six story building, on Mis- sion and Fremont. Dunham, Carrigan & Co. are about to enlarge their premises nearly double on Beale street. The wholesale grocery house of H. Levi & Co. about a year ago moved into premises on the north side of Mar- ket street, below Drumm, with a frontage of 60 feet on Market, running back with a depth of about 200 feet to Sacramento street, on | Which they front about 185 feet; the bullding is four-story on Market. The wire goods house of Roebling & Co. s about to double the size of its premises. Blake, Moffitt & Towne, whole- sale paper dealers, moved not long since into premises on First street, below Market, about three times the size of their old quarters on Sacramento street. These are only a few of the changes and enlargements of,old business | firms that occur to us. Many more could be | recited, If we were to give time and more ex- | tendedobservation. to the matter. For five or | six years prior to 1898 wholesale property was | quite unsalable; now it is in good demand. Benjamin M. Gunn & Co. have sold to J. P. Lloyd two pieces of groperty ad- joining the block bounded by Brannan, Bryant, First and Fremont streets, which were purchased by Mr. loyd three months ago. The two pieces referred to | are the lot on the northerly corner of | Bryant and Fremont streets, 275x137:6, for which he paid the estate of S. A. English ,000, and the westerly corner of the same _streets, 137:6 - square, purchased from James Denman for $30,000. Gunn & Co. have also sold the properfy on the south side of Mission street, 45:10 feet west of Steuart, 45:10x137:6, for $19,000. Thomas Magee & Sons report the sale of the property on the southeast corner of Golden Gate avenue and Leavenworth street, 282:6x137:6, Sharon Estate Com- pany to Thomas J. Clunie for $40,000; also | the property on the north side of Broad- | way, 626 feet east of Steiner street, 30x 137:6, for $4950. The estate of James M. | Wood is the seller of the last piece and the name of the purchaser is withheld for the present. Lyon & Hoag report the following sales made by them during the last ten days: L. Friedlander to Charles S. Johnson, northwest corner of Octavia street and Rose avenue, 60x87:6, with improvements, for $11000; Charles Ziemer to Mrs. Hen- rietta Markwitz for $9500, lot 25x100, with improvements, consisting of two flats on the west line of Devisadero street, 25 feet north of McAllister; Thomas Kirtley Thomas G.

The same firm has also sold for John Hinkel the lot on south side of Clement street, 85 feet east of Twenty-sixth avenue, 25x100, for $600; the lot on west line of Twenty-fiftth avenue, 175 feet south of Clement, 25x130 feet, for $400, and three lots in the block bounded by Ninth and Tenth ayenues, J and K streets, for prices ranging from $675 to $750 for each lot. Easton, Eldridge & Co. held a regular auction sale of city property on Tuesday and disposed of the following piece: Northwest corner of Devisadero and M Allister streets; lot 50x100 feet, with re: dence of 25 rooms; elegantly appointed; sold for $27,500, subject to approval of owner. West side of Guerrero street, 45 feet north of Fourteenth: two building lots, each 22:6x76:4; sold for $1800 and $1900, respectively. West side of Mission street, between Seventeenth and Eighteenth, 23:4 | feet south of Clarion street: lot 23:4x80, with two-story house; sold for $4950. North side of McAllister street, 137:6 feet west of Fillmore: lot 40x137: sold_ for $6350, subject to approval of owner. North line of Seventeenth street, 186 feet west of Clara avenue; lot 25x87:6; sold for $550. South line of Twenty-fifth street, 80 feet west of Castro; lot 26:8x114; sold for $600. O. F. von Rhein & Co. will offer at auction next Thursday about twenty-five lots In this city and Oakland, held in the name of Marcuse & Remmel. This prop- erty is to be sold to satisfy an attachment for $25000 levied thereon by the Puget Sound Lumber Company. George D. Toy has purchased from C. S. Benedict the 1ot and three-story build- ing on the north line of O'Farrell street, 116:6 west of Powell, for $25,000. A. E. Buckingham, who is subdividing the_Callahan Estate Company’s property in Sunset He!d!h!s, south of Golden Gate Park, has sold two lots on Eleventh ave- nue, in the block bounded by H and I streets and Eleventh and Twelfth ave- nues. The buyer is now building on the same. A plank sidewalk is belng put down, a sewer laid in the street and trees planted on both sides of the same, while arrangements are being made to ‘take down the hill facing Tenth and Eleventh avenues, thus securing a clear view of the valley and enhancing the value of the rronerty in the neighborhood. The build- ng now golng up will make the eleventh house in the block. The new postoffice building to be erected at the ferries will cost between $20,000 and $30,000. It will be two stories in height on Kast street, with an L-shaped singie story structure extending from the main building toward the bay. The main build- ing will be 98 by 77 feet and the annex an average of 70 by 160. The architecture of the building will be Romanesque and it will be in pleasing contrast to the ferry depot. Carrie A. Woods has sold to Henry E. Bothin the property consisting of a lot on the northwest line of Second street, o7 feet southeast of Howard street, 10t 50 by 485 feet, with improvements. The estate of Claus Wreden, deceased, has sold to B. M. Albers the lot 50x60 feat on the northwest corner of Turk and Scctt streets, with improvements, for $7500, and the property on the northeast corner of Mason and Filbert streets, lot 62:6x57:6 feet, for . The same estate has sgld to C. C, Vorrath the property on the west line of Taylor street, 106:3 feet north of Greenwich street, lot 31:3x137:6 feet, for , and the j#operty on the southwest corner of Clay and Mason streets, lot 58x27:6 feet, to Rndolé’h Mohr, for $10,000. Henry Stern has effected the sale of the Jot 44x112:6 feet with four flats on the east side of Powell street, 94:6 feet north of Pine street, for $14,000. The new buildings of the Franciscan church and monastery on Golden Gate avenue will cost $100,000. They will be built from the plans by Rev. Brother Adrian, and the construction will be su- pervised by Martens & Coffey. The construction of Ninpeteenth avenue, which is to connect the Park and Ocean road, will be a very expensive work in the opinion of the Board of Public Works. The sum of $10,000 is available for this purpose, and in order that the amount may suffice it will be necessary to take up the filling of lero Canyon immedi- ately, so the waste material of private plt"olrany surrounding the gulch may be u D1 zed to advnntT. . Winslow Anderson has commenced the construction of an office building de- signed for tenants of his profession upon the vacant lot on the south side of Su ter street, east of Larkin. Stone will be used for the basement and the first story, with pressed red brick above. There will be a marble stairway and an electric ele- vator. The cost of the bullding Is esti- mated at_$35,000. David Bush, manager of the country l Swift to Mr. and Mrs. Lavinberg for $3500. The report of Hon. Binger ermann, Commissioner of the General Land Office, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1899, shows a general improvement in land of- | fice receipts in California districts over | the fiscal year of 1898.
