Real Estate Market Active.


 There Is decidedly more avtivity In the real estate market since the cleo ton and agents are looking forward to satisfactory winter. Inquiry Is brisk for all classes of realty, and sales are more numerous.
 Within the past ten days property situated on Second Avenue between Twenty-second and Twenty fifth Street. amounting to s40,o00 has changed hands, three sales aggregate ing that sum having been affected. One of the sales was on the basis of nearly $400 the front foot. The sig. nificance of this is that new busi- ness district appears to be developing in that portion of Second Avenue. It is fayorably situated to catch the country trade, the wagon trade, and the recent removal of a prominent merchant. whose speciality Is the coun- try trade from store in the heart of the" ~"city to upper Second Avenue, has served to emphasize the availa- bility of that portion of the city for business purposes. It is estimated that prices of realty on Second Avenue between Twenty-first and Twenty fifth Streets have appreciated 25 per cent within a year.
 Considerable demand is also report ed for business property on South Twentieth Street and prices are ad- vancing. In fact any kind of prop- erty on the Southside adapted for bus mess Is appreciating in value. This Is said to be due in part to the con- struction of the Seaboard Air Line. as well as to an expansion of the re- tail trade district.

Car ney. and q series of successive recep- tions at all the social clubs of the city. The special train of the party reach ed here this afternoon at o'clock from Pensacola. where the larger part of the day was spent. The party was met at the depot by Col. Edward L. Russell and other oficiais of the Mobile and Ohio, and Max Hamburger, Jr., Paul Wilson and other citizens of Mobile. The party was immediately escorted to the Carney where splendid lunch was served.
 As the Carney steamed down the bay a brief program of speeches was gone through with. Col. E. L. Russell pre- siding.
