Mr. Cooke Not a croaker.

James D. w. Cooke, president of the Cooke Realty company. says:
 'As to the outlook for the real estate situation in this city and district, I see no reason for want of confidence.
 "Of course. you always find the croak- CT and pessimst in every locality, and he is in evidence here today. But, try to get piece of his property and you will find that he does not back up his expressed opinion, but names a price above the present market, though he says property is going down..
 q would call the attention of parties who have money to invest to the oppor- tunity to buy desirable farms in the black belt, at prices less than they will ever be offered again.
 "The timber and coal land of this state is being rapidly taken up by north ern and eastern capital, while our people are sleeping on their opportunities.
 Birmingham Is here to stay. and is backed by millions and your money is safer in Birmingham dirt than it Is in any bank or stocks"

MT. Jones Sees Bright Future.

MT. J. c. II. Jones. of the popular firm of Jones' Barnett Co.,. said.
 'The market has a healthy tone, all though not so many transfers as formerly and with very little change in prices.
 ''The market Is usually quiet at this season of the year. as moneyed men are invariably busy with other lines of trade.
 Money invested judiciously in Birming- ham property will bring handsome re- turns, during the activity which will sure- ly follow after the holiday rush is over.
 "The profits made from high price cot lon could find no better field for invest ment than in Birmingham dirt, the oppor- tunites being great here. There is no quicker way to make money
 "The eyes and capital of the small in- vestor, as well as corporations, are turned toward Birmingham, and we are frequent ly in receipt of inquiries from the far away people of the west, wanting truck farms, or to buy property in the Birming- ham district.
 "The present prices of property, which are reasonable, will be considered two years hence assgreat bargains, and many people would look with regret upon op- portunities lost that can never be regained. Ruling prices of today will be a thing of the past as compared with advanced prices of the future.''

s. E. Thompson.

s. F. Thompson the well-known real estate man, has this to say:
 Real estate is the foundation of all wealth, therefore in times of doubt when securities decline. when banks fail and other investments shrink. people natur- ally turn to real estate. The man who puts his money in land gets just so many square feet. In prosperity or diversity it remains exactly the same; it is abso- lutely. He can look at it, walk oyer it and enjoy it. No failure or mismanage- ment of others can effect it, therefore it is the safest place to put money.
 The next proposition is to look ahead a little and determine what lnnalitu uiu

J, Cary Thompson,

Notwithstanding the Fact that the real estate market has been quiet for several months said J. Cary Thomp- son of the Thompson Realty company, ''our business for the past three months shows a substantial improvement over the same period of last year. Inquiries and sales in business properties are few. comparatively speaking, but the demand for good substantial homes and sites has been very encouraging.
 We look for steady trading all through winter months"

 "Five years will see her beyond our fondest dream in wealth, industry and population, and property bought now will be worth a fortune compared to it's cost, especially that in and between the big cities"

BIRMINGHAM REAL ESTATE GOOD INVESTMENT

Birmingham real estate Is a stable in- yestment.
 The pause in business. which has given rise to fears in some quarters is proved to be a natural incident in the course of business and there is no cause for alarm.
 Following the severe reverses in Wall street, which put the industrial stocks on the toboggan, rumors reached Bir- mingham that an era of depression was dawning upon the district. On top of these reports came a sudden tightening in the real estate market and putting two and two together, rumor spreaders declared that hard times were coming and that real estate prices would fall.
 Conversations with the leading real estate men Of the city show eonclusively that such rumors are absolutely unfound- ed, and that Birmingham property. has not decrease in value but, in many in- stances, has increased by rapid jumps.
 As has been suggested by some of the leading real estate men, there is nothing in fact or fancy to give cause for alarm. Business Is lively throughout the dis trict, and the entire state is on the verge of greater prosperity than ever. With such facts in the face of these rumors, broad-minded citizens laugh at the idea of decline in Birmingham real estate.
 Cotton Crop Worth $5O,ooo,ooo.
 The cotton crop in Alabama this year, according to the report of experts, will amount to something like 100000 bales. At the expected price of 101s cents, this will amount to about s50. 000, 00O Nearly quarter of million bales of cotton are consumed in Alabama annually, the cost of which will approximate 5,Oo0OOO Deducting this amount from the $50, ,OOO,. GOO, 1t will be seen that sS5, Oo0, ,OOO in cash, will come into the state from the out side country. With this enormous amount to flush the general channels of trade opportunities for feelings of de- pression will be- indeed, meagre. All of this affects the state outside of Birming- ham district, and naturally makes itself felt in the leading city of the state.
 The products of the Birmingham dis trict, consisting of coal. iron, steel, coke and cast iron pipe, bring into the state something in the neighborhood of s25,- 100000. Adding this to the s35, ,OOO, ,OOO brought into the state for export cotton, Alabama has the sum of S6O.OOO,0 GOO to refresh the roots of business and bring about general prosperity.
 To further strengthen the cause of Bir- mngham real estate, several of the i members of the most prominent firms in the city were consulted. Their unani- nous opinion is that no depression ex- ists and that the present pause is not extraordinary in the course of business.

Mr. Brown Is Confident.

In speaking of the real estate market MT. Wilson Brown of the real estate firm of Brown Bros. & Co.,, said:
 Though the active demand for all classes of real estate is not as brisk as it was six months ago, yet there is a strong investment demand for choice business properties and for property fronting on any of the railroads. The property along the Belt line has ad- vanced considerably within the past six months and a good many transfers have been made through our firm in the last thirty days. The prices are stiff as ever. and to show the appreciation of Birming- ham property in the minds of the public. whenever one has anything to offer at anything like a low price, 1t is imme- diately taken up.
 Another strength in the market is this that 90 per cent of the trades made are for all cash. There is no wild cat specu lative sentiment here, and people who are buying property, are buying it for a present investment and future en- hancement in values.
 "The business property here Is selling at very much lower price than are the sane class of properties in Montgomery and Mobile; at less than one-half the price The same properties bring in At lanta, and about one-third the price the same class of properties bring in Mem phis. In other words, business property can be bought here upon seven to eight and a half per cent net basis, whereas in Atlanta and Memphis it is selling on a five per cent basis. Considering the amounts of the pay rolls here and all the local conditions that speak for a great city, there is no place in my knowledge where safer or better investments can be made than in the city of Birmingham. The furry in the stock market has made investors cautious, and we expect to see people slow in putting out money in any thing until conditions are settled There will be no depression of values in Bir- mingham, and people who are looking for real estate investments with the idea that they will buy property cheaper here. will, in my opinion, be very much mis- taken. and instead of profiting by wait ing, will lose.
 "A large amount of money Is being paid out to the cotton planters in Ala hama. and therefore a large increase in the volume, of money in the state at large and Birmingham should receive it's proper share of this influx of capital There IS no safer place to put surplus money than in well-selected property in this city. Every thing is running here on fuli time. The merchants are prosper ous; the banks have more money than everrbefo1e in the history of Birmingham and this winter should see good many of the southern, planters placing their money at good returns in real estate. Instead of being pessimistic, our firm Is exceedingly optimistic as to the future values, and all we ask is that people seeking investments will look over the field here and be convinced for them selves.
 Another evideEce of the growth of the city is the large investments being made now by the railroads in securing and adding tn their terminal facilities here"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-11-15
c. A. Ellis Optimistic.

Charles A. Ellis, sales agent for the Wentworth addition of the Rugby Land and Improvement company. said:
 While the real estate market seems to be little dull, we are doing a good bus iness and | can see no cause for alarm. While property is not being freely offered for sale if has not declined in value and everything will come around all right in few weeks. Exorbitant prices are not asked here, as will be seen with compari- son with Atlanta, Nashville, Montgomery and even Columbus, Ga, which is a much smaller city. I am of the opinion that slumps in Wall street have no effect on our market and it is merely a feeling of nervousness that causes hesitancy un- derstand the industrial plants have plenty of orders ahead to keep them running all winter, and with this prospect what Is there to fear?
 Birmingham has a glorious future be- fore her and persons who now hesitate at buying real estate will in the course of time be kicking themselves for not taking advantage of the good opportunities offered"

Mir. Yancey Discusses Situation.

J. l.. Yancey of Chichester & fanceyi says:
 .'While there has been lull In the real estate market for the past ninety days, which attribute principally to the recent Wall street troubles l see nothing but a bright future for Birmingham. We have only to look around us and see evil dences of prosperity on every side. Fur naces and industries running on good time and a great amount of building going on, and pay rolls amounting to enormous sums each month. which circulate freely among merchants and all other tradesmen. makes splendid business. It Is estimated that there have been built in the city of Bir- mingham, within the last three years, about 5000 dwellings. besides a large amount in the suburbs, and it is difficult matter now to rent desirable house. The old houses being filled as well as the new which shows that very large population is being attracted here from other parts oi

as in our sister cities, and can see nothing to keep things from brightening up in the near future. People know the value of Birmingham property and no amount of rumors can keep them from coming here to invest.
 ''1n fact" concluded Mir. Leedy, "I can see nothing extraordinary in the present pause in the real estate market and SC. rious consideration Is unnecessary"

Believes in Arbitration.

, In a recent interview Judge Ora,
expressed unqualified belief in arbi
tration for the settlement of dfferen
ces between employers and labor ant
said he had noted growing willing
tion. This is reassuring statement
from one who has shown very great
interest in what is certainly one of
the most important questions for the
consideration of the American people.
Judge Gray does not favor compulsory
arbitration, his opinion being that it
is not arbitration at all In this he
is in accord with many employers and
with all the leaders of organized
were voluntary arbitration generally
resorted to-and he thinks it will be
in time-the results would be found
so satisfactory that industrial peace
would be assured
Perhaps the distinguished jurist,
whose work as an arbitrator has been
so successful. is by reason of his ex-
perience somewhat too optimistic. but
surely no one will be disposed to with
hold whatever encouragement can be
given his view of the tendency toward
arbitration and of the duty of both
capital and labor to recognize that
principle and apply it in all cases
where it can be made available, and
it is rare that any controversy be-
tween employers and employed is of
a nature that cannot be arbitrated.
What is greatly needed is fairer and
more tolerant spirit on both sides and
whenever this shall prevail there will
be no hesitation about submitting
differences to arbitration Most of
the disastrous labor con flicts have been
marked by passionate and unreason-
able hostility on one side or the other.
or on both sides. Such conflicts be-
tween intelligent men should be hard
ly possible. Another thing that in
very many cases is lost sight of is the
public interest.
The question is one that merits all
the attention which can be bestowed
on it and much contributions to it as
that of Judge Gray cannot fail to
have good effect. Its tendency is
to at least inspire hope of better re-
lations between capital and labor and
that is not valueless. Omaha Bee.

GO UP OR GO DOWN TOGETHER

President Rooseyelt's Labor Day
speech at Syracuse should commend
itself to the careful consideration of
both sides of the industrial situation !;
to the man of capital and the man Of
labor.
While it is filed with striking and
epiRrammatit truths, there are several
cuously because of their applicability
to existing conditions:
1T cannot be too often repeated
that in this country, in the long
run. we all of us tend to go up or go
down together" says the president,
bearing employer of labor on the one
hand, and to the laborer. ever ready
to lay down his tools and strike on the
fiimsiest of pretezts this expensive
sentence bears an equal warning.
Any disturbances of industrial con
other. from disregard of labor's
rights or the ipexcusable exercise of
ausocratic power by the agents of
labor, is certain in the end to work
mutual loss or disaster. The history
of modern strikes and lockouts is in
controvertible evidence of this.
There can be no disturbance of har-
monious conditions between capital
and labor without thousands of the
innocent being made to suffer.
1--WE, all of us, tend to go up or go
down together, is an automatic truth
that should stand like blazing light
before employer and empolye alike.
In certain sections of this country
conditions in the industrial world are
becoming intolerable. The losses on
each side cover millions every month.
The question as to who is right or
who is wrong is gradually lessening
as compared with the
lmmeasurable injury that is being
upon the public itself.
And the long suffering public is
beginning to lose patience. 1t is los
ing the will and the power to discrim
mate. The general discomfort is
growing to point where the issue of
individual rights will cut no figure.
When that POM is reached the situs-
tion is beyond the safety line. In
view Of this the presidents warning
s all the more impressive.
The continuation of our industrial
prosperity demands that speedy relief
be applied to existing conditions.
