This was to haveebeen expected and, for a few weeks, perhaps, there will bo but slight change In the situation. Eventually there will be an adjustment "of the difficulties between the employer nil the employe, and the march of Improvement of Oakland will be re sitmed.

gratifying feature of the showing jji wmk is ma xact xnai xno nscei-y for more homes Is made apparent to people with money and that, as a confluence, forty-five places of abode have been provided for. Some of those places are apartment and rooming houses, containing many rooms. One of those rooming places will contain 41, another 45, and a third as many as 111 apartments. The total number of rooms which will be supplied In this manner will be 637Vj This will give shelter to a large number of people, and aid to a degree in relieving the congested condition in the matter of homes for the constantly Increasing population of this city. ELEMENTS PROGRESS.

Besides tha homes, other elements of development hay been satisfactorily provided In the way of stores, factories, bakeries and warehouses. It Is significant that some of the firms from Ban Francisco which were-driven here by the disaster on the other side, of the bay are, at this late day, constructing warehouses and enlarging the fac tories which they were compelled to erect here after loss on the San Fran Cisco side. This speaka volumes be cause It shows that, after having had experience of six months In the con duct of their business In this city they have concluded to remain here. IMPROVEMENTS IN DETAIL.

Oakland is, at fhe present time, in a very healthy condi tion. I When -the retail merchants were com pelled to rely on Pacific coast Jobbers for tnelr supplies. It was very difficult, in fact, almost impossible, to keep up the ssortment needed to do a soccestnui iuslness. At present many of. the leading retail houses keep Eastern buyers busy most of the time, and novelties, as well as standard goods, are put upon the Oakland market at the earliest possible moment after their production.

In dry. goods, clothing, shoes, furnishing goods, carpets, furniture, hardware, crockery and many other lines. Oakland may well oe proud of the stocks shown to prospective purchasers. vr At the present time, more than a quar ter of a million people purchase a portion or all of their supplies In Oakland and it is no small task to cater to toe wants of such a large number of buyers. RETAILERS EQUAL, TO But the retail I merchants of our city are equal to the task, even when the population of our section has been almost or quite doubled during the last three montns.

scores of purchasers) of Ban Francisco have supplied their iieeds In Oakland since the San Francisco fire, and we believe have been well saUsfled under tho circumstances. The retail merchants of Oakland rely on quality and price to eeu their roods, and do not take kindly to 1 trading stamps, coupons, fake premiums and other devices used in some localities to make the people believe they are getting something for For many years the trading stamp erase be external and have abundance of light, sun and air. 4 )4 The stairs and halls will be spacious and conveniently located. A hot water system will be Installed to heat the building. The first-story, front and entrance hall will be finished in marble, with bronze trimming.

The doors and work of the store fronts be of Australian bean wood. The upper floors will be supported ty trussed girders, braced and bolted to the posts, making the building perfectly rigid. These specially designed trussed girders make possible the use Buyers in Eastern has beeiy conspicuous by its absence. Agreements among the different lines of merchants have kept the city free xrom this objectionable parasite. BELIEVE IN ADVERTISING.

The retail merchants of Oakland be lieve in advertising of a legitimate nature, and are generous patrons of tne local press other genuine methods of making known to the public stock prices and qualities. A perusal of the local papers will show that our merohants believe In the Judicious -use of printer's Ink. The retail merchants have also been able by mutual agreement to rid the city of program advertising, which is advertising In name only, without any benefit perceptible to the advertiser. Most of the retail merchants are members of the local organization, the Merchants' Exchange, and are thus kept in touch with each other. In this way the local conditions are kept In view and much needless competition, is avoided.

This is the day of organization, and any person who thinks he can be In a class by himself will soon find out his mistake. COMMERCIAL CENTER. Oakland as a commercial center has a bright outlook. Its manufacturing Industries are increasing by leaps and bounds. Its third transcontinental railroad Is earing completion.

As -a center of a large and constantly increasing population, ts retail trade must constantly increase. 1 If the people of the eastern shore of Ban Francisco bay will give local support' to their merchants, there will be no doubt of the development of the retail trade or uauana. cottage, north line of Twenty-first street, 25 feet east of Curtis; $1850.

Buildings Which were tied up by recent strikes when it was Impossible to secure material are now advancing toward completion since the settlement of the strike. In every section of the city buildings are springing up and despite the high price for material. Possibly the most Interesting news of the realty market of the week Is a plan being advocated by the improvement clubs and the realty -dealers. Heretofore no account has been kept on the buildings under construction in, this city. Other cities have an ordinance making it necessary to secure a permit describing the building, the cost of construction and the location of the same before the contractor Is allowed to commence work.

The only method used in Alameda has been, to give a permit for the plumbing to be done in the house. BUILDING PERMIT ORDINANCE. The agitation now to adopt an ordinance similar to that in force in' Oakland on the subject. This would malte it possible to keep a record of all buildings hereafter to be constructed in the city. The matter is to be brought to the attention of the trustees and at the solicitation of the contractors and real estate men will, 7 no doubt, be adopted.
