DEMAND FOR HOUSES IS
 NOW ON IN FULL FORCE
Captain W. B. Leedy, of the Firm of ". B. Leedy & Co.,, Explains the
 Situation.

The usual rush for houses, both residence and business, that occurs in August every year, is now on and the rental agents are kept busy waiting on persons wanting to rent Rents are some higher this year than usual, but that fact is attributable to the unusual demand for desirable property. Like articles of commerce demand creates higher prices, and consequently when the demand falls there is a proportionate de- crease in the rents.
 Captain W. B. Leedy, the head of the firm of w. B. Leedy and Company real es- tate, rental and insurance agents, whose handsomely equipped offices are locate in TWenty-frst street between First and Sec ond avenues, stated to an Age Herald re- porter yesterday afternoon that the de- mand for houses exceeded the supply, and that the demand tor houses exceeded the supply, and that rents will be somewhat higher after October than at present He said: You might say that all stores com mand better rentals and such residences as are in favored localities are likewise high CT. The question has been asked, Are the raises justified?' This is a matter that land lords cannot control Supply and demand regulates the price. When we have more houses than tenants, then, and not until then, will rents decline"
 Captain Leedy stated that he had made some nice sales of real estate recently, and continuing he said
 Business with us has been rather quiet for several months, but within the past few weeks we have had quite a nice run of trade; but as only a few trades have been closed up we feel that prudence re- quires that we give you only the location of the property and the price of the sales, withholding the purchasers. Among the sales we have recently made may be men, toned the following:
 "Three-story building on lot 25x140 feet, at 1895 Second avenue, S15,500.
 ''Three-story building on lot 2ox14O feet, 1897 Second avenue, $16,000
 Three-story building lot 25x1i0 feet at 1913 Second avenue, $16000.
 This is not attempt to boom Second avenue property, but is merely to show the magnitude of some of the sales we have effected recently. The purchasers, in our opinion, bought simply because the prop erty will yield fair return on the invest ment. Among other sales may be noted the following:
 "Three-story building on lot 50xliO feet, al 2O12-2014 Third avenue, $26,00O
 Vacant lot on the Kansas City, Mem- phs and Birmingham Railroad, A50O.
 "Residence in Fifth avenue, between Eff teenth and Sixteenth streets, $3,500.
 Residence at TIT South Twenty-fourth street a,000.
 "Residence at 612 South Twenty-fifth street, $1 ,250.
 Residence at S05 South TWenty-third street. S1 ,250.
 "Vacant lot in Eleventh avenue, South, $1,SOO.
 This swells the list to $S6S00, all within less time than thirty days"
 Captain Leedy has been engaged in the real estate business in Birmingham for great many years, and is perhaps the best informed man in that line of business in the city. %F@

s&xs9 OUR POLICY DEFENDED
German Paper Comments the United
 States

Berlin, August 22.-The semi-official Der liner Post in a long teeming article de- lends the policy of the United States in China against suspicious cast upon it by certain German papers that go upon the theory that Washingtn is pursuing sepa- rate aims. After reciting the history of Secretary Hays success in getting decla- rations from the powers in favor of the "open door," the Post says that this is calculated to remove all false interpreta- tions of American policy. It then goes on to say:
 Those Americans are to blame for this mistrust of the policy of the United States who demand that President Mckinley shall come forward as the protector of the Chi nese empire and declare urbi ct orbi which the United States will regard as an un- friendly act upon any further seizures of Chinese territory, thus establishing an American protectorate over China"
 The papers demand more earnestly than ever the immediate calling of the Reich stag in special session. The Deutsche Tages Zeitung argues against the claim that 1t is necessary to wait until the Chi nese situation has cleared up, and demands that the Reichstag be convened and in- formed regarding Gcrmanys China policy, adding that this should already be so definitely fixed that it can be communicat- ed to the representatives of waiting peo- ple'

So many requests have been made for a repetition of last weeks bill Man and Master" that the management has arranged for it's re- pitition Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. This is the part in which Mir. Frank P.

The play will positively begin at the usual time, and those coming first will be first served, except by securing the reserved seats at Nortons Such a large and capable company deserves large favor, for certainly this attraction is the star company of the South.
