The number of births for the years 1873-4, 411. The number of births recorded for the years 1874-5, is 200 males; 189 females; total, 389, showing a balance of 73 births over the deaths.
Estimating the population, December 31, 1870, at 10,000; December 31, 1871, at 11,000; and December 31, 1872 (including Brooklyn), at 15,000, give a mortality of 1 to every 82 of the population for the year 1870-71; 1 to every 102 for 1871-2; and 1 to every 71 for 1872-73. The number of births for the year 1871-72 is 179; and for 1872-3, is 292. The returns of 1871-2 show that deducting the number of deaths by accident, tubercular diseases, and those of children under five years (a large proportion of which generally result from negligence or ignorance), would give a yearly mortality of 1 in 216 for 1871-72. Epidemic and endemic diseases are of rare occurrence and of mild character.
The census for June, 1873, was 15,387; the estimated census for June, 1875, is 25,000; the rate of mortality for 1873, was 1 to 62; for 1875, was 1 to 79.
THE CENTRAL LAND COMPANY.
This company is the owner of two hundred and seventy-two building lots, well located, and last year began to improve them by erecting good houses thereon, and selling house and lot on the monthly instalment plan. It has proved a great success. On the tract and in its immediate vicinity, at least fifty fine dwellings have been erected, streets graded, city water introduced, and in no part of Oakland is there more marked improvement than in the locality of the company's tract. The location is a beautiful one, between Telegraph and San Pablo avenues, in the city and in the immediate neighborhood of McClure's Military Academy, Golden Gate Academy, Durant Grammar School, church and store. Horse cars pass every seven minutes, and the property is within ten minutes ride of Broad- way and Seventh streets. Any style of improvements desired are built and sold on the instalment plan, at cash cost of same. The company intend to build one hundred and thirty-six nice, two story houses, thus improving alternate lots and enhancing the value of intervening lots. The company is composed of some of the solid men of Oakland, and their plan of operation must prove profitable alike to purchaser and seller. Every growing city would do well to have a few such corporations at work.

REAL ESTATE.
From E. C. Sessions & Co., real estate agents and auctioneers, we obtain the following record of transactions in Oakland from January 1, 1867, to July 1, 1875, amounting to $21,204,381, as per the following schedule :

E. J. KELLY & CO. sell all of the Real Estate in Oakland.
The above total represents the amount of all sales effected in Oakland from the time it commenced to assume importance and attract general attention throughout the State. During the past year and a half, ending July 1, 1875, sales have increased nearly fifty per cent., and have been mainly to parties intending to improve and occupy the property. These facts indicate that the business has been of healthy and legitimate growth. The year of 1874 was one of unexampled prosperity for Oakland; one thousand and sixty-three buildings were erected at a cost of $2,422,000, and the indications are, that this number will be largely increased during the present year. Prices of land are still very low ; choice property for res- idence purposes, centrally located, can be obtained within the limits of twenty to seventy-five dollars per front foot, outside lands at a propor- tionate figure.
The street railroads have developed and rendered valuable large tracts of land, and among the number special attention is directed to the Brook- lyn and Fruit Vale Railroad, now in course of construction in East Oak- land, and along the route of which are many beautiful building sites noted for their commanding views and healthful location.
The admirable ferry accommodations furnish rapid and frequent transit between Oakland and San Francisco, trains running on double tracks at half hourly intervals, connecting with large, commodious, and elegantly furnished steam ferry boats, carrying passengers on commutation tickets for three dollars per month, single fare fifteen cents. The average travel for 1874 was 9,000 daily.
METEOROLOGICAL.
The meteorological observations made in the City of Oakland up to the present year have been mainly confined to recording the rainfall, which has been as follows :
