W. B. Leedy Has No Fears.

w. B. Leedy. one of the oldest and most prominent real estate men in Birming- ham, regards the pause in the real estate market as of little consequence. He sees nothing to fear and predicts a brighter future than ever.
 Birmingham real estate is stable in- vestment" said Mir. Leedy, "and while business is a little dull just now it Is no more than we can expect After a period of thrift there is usually slight pause, and I attribute the present inactivity more to that than the industrial rumors which have been sent out of Wall street. Wall street is naturally the barometer of the nation but as a matter of fact does not affect Birmingham. The slump in United States steel stocks and the entire indus trial list gives rise to a feeling of hes itancy here as some fear that the local plants will be closed down. The facts in the case do not merit these fears.
 Alabama has an era of prosperity dawning upon it, and no matter what hap pens in Wall street our people will con tinue to prosper. The cotton crop will be something like million bales and at 10la cents this will bring something like $50,- 000,000. About 240,000 bales of cotton are consumed in Alabama. which means that over $35. 100000 of outside money is brought into the state. With this money in circu- lation. aside from the sales of iron, steel and coal and coke there Is no room for depression.
 "Rirminsham real estate Is not high

MT. Sorsby.

MT. w. F. Sorsby of the firm of Sorsby & Lynn said:
 "I have been a resident of Birmingham almost continuously since 1871, and have seen many wonderful changes.
 ''We have had some ups and downs. but I believe the ups materially predominate.
 Real estate, like stocks and the tide, will ebb and flow. Just at this time the flow is smooth and regular.
 There may possibly be a slight decline in the next twelve months-it will hardly be perceptible-but if I may judge the fu- ture by the past it will continue to go higher and higher. No telling where it will end. This is the best and most won- derful town in the country"
