Liverpool declined 1-32d. with sales of 6000 bales futures declined 2la points recovered 1 point of this and then reacted and closed steady at a net decline of 1ls to 2 points In Manchester yarns were dull. but steady, and cloths were quiet. New Orleans was at one time points lower on October, but recovered the loss later on and October andJanuary advanced 10 to Il points Houston received today 1889 bales, against 39S4 bales last year.

 Todays features: The market responded more readily to bullish news than to bearish news. It had more friends than enemies. A moderate decline early in the day. due to some depression in Liverpool and American and foreign selling was also noticed. There were very unfavorable crop reports from Texas Louisiana and Arkansas and else where in the cotton belt. and a growing im- pression that the next bureau report, to be given out next Tuesday will be quite bull ish much more. in fact, than most persons have hitherto expected. The continent sold heavily this morning and Liverpool was also a seller, but later on there was excellent outside buying. together with quite a mum Der of buying orders from the south, and prices rose easily.

"a Friday Night, sept. D. 1o5o. It is an axiom in the commercial world that real estate is first to feel depression and last to recover from it.
 Be that as it may, it is an indisputable fact that Birmingham real estate is dis playing signs of activity. We are beginning to heal of deals that carry the mind back to old times.
 In conversation with leading real estate man, the Age-Herald's market reporter was inforped that business in his line had been picking up'' for six months. There was good sahd growing demand for houses to rent. There was also fair inquiry for residences and residence lots and this came from eitZens of Birmingham. There was no speculative movement whatever. ''The fact is.'' said the gentleman referred to. 'our own people are buying homes. They realize theiri Opportunity in present values and seem to be making the most of 1t. The opin- ion obtains that Birmingham has emerged from the severest test to which she can be subjected and henceforth she will grow and prosper" In a word. our people have faith in the future of the city and are showing 1t in the most unmistakable manner by the purchase, of homes or lots upon which to erect homes"

PEARY EXPEDITION.
A Great Overland Expedition
Which Was Barren of
Results.

St. Johns. n. F., Sept. 2i.-
Ppary steamer Kite arrived here
to-day. Lieut.. Peary and Hugh
Lee, with his colored servant,
were safe on board. They were
found at Whale Sound,o Aug.
3, waiting for the Kite,and had
only ten days previously re
turned from a great overland
expedition, which proved a COM
parative failure. The most
northern point of Greenland
was reached early in June, but
they were deferred from any
great undertaking by INSULT
cient food. They were obliged,
on this account, to abandon the
attempt to make further pro-
gress. Nearly all the dogs per-
ished, and the remainder had
TO be shot. owing TO the inabi-
lily to provide them with any
thing to eat. The Kite met with
splendid weather North and
started to explor- the west of
Smith Sound and traversed the
whole coast, visiting Jones
Sound, Cape Sabine and Little
ton Island. Two meteorites of
almost pure iron were taken
aboard the Kite, but another
weighing about forty tons they
could not get on board.
Sensational stories are cur
rent among the crew of the eX-
tremities to which Peary, Lee
and Hensen were reduced. Ac-
cording TO the stories, which
the explorers decline to deny,
they were almost starved and
were forced to eat seal and
other refuse to keep alive.
New York. September 21.-
The Kite sailed from st. Johns
on July II, for Peary's head
quarters in Inglefield Gulf
Greenland. On board the steam
er were company Of scientists,
