THE REAL ESTATE MARKET,

There has been for some time past q
lull In the stock market and an nclna-
ton to turn from stocks to real estate.
Some astute men believe that In little
while, there will be something OLA real
estate boom throughout various sections
of the country. There IS more activity al
ready in real estate In Richmond and
other Southern cities. This Is notably
the case in the city Of Birmingham, the
center Of the iron industry. AS evidence
Of this the the Birmingham News printed
in its last Saturdays edition over four
solid pages Of real estate advertisements.
1t is said that transfers Of real estate
in large amounts are made daily, and that
the transactions are usually for cash. 1t
is further said that these purchases are
made. in most instances for purposes Of
Improvement.
Efforts have been made from time to
time of late to get the public back into
the stock market, but brokers in Rich
mond say that the public appear to
be not at all anxious to invest In stocks
at present prices. There is a great deal
of money in the country for investment,
and as there has been no boom in real
estate and as the boom in the stock
market seems to be on the wane It would
not be surprising If investors and specu-
lators should not turn their attention
to real property. Real estate in Virginia
Is not high. It has. certainly not been
doomed as stocks have been doomed, and
1t seems to offer now q moro inviting
field to men OF small and great means.
