ty market. There have been several large
property for investment; one for $4,000,
the others of less significance. There ID
a liberal inquiry for high class invest
ments, interest payers, and there Is
general impression among a large class
of buyers to regard the building of negro
tenant houses Tor coops) as overdone;
the better class of negroes keeping an
open eye for more comfortable quarters.
1t is remarkable in view of the vast num-
Der of this class of houses built during
the last few years, how many have been
rented, and only the shoddy, worst located
tenements have suffered materially Tor
tenants This class of investment while
attended with more risk, are handsome
interest bearers. Outlying prospective
business property Is also coming In for a
large share of attention, especially in
those localities where enhancement fea-
lures are likely to follow. Since the rail-
road officials have spoken on the subject,
there appears to remain but little doubt
that a new passenger station is scheduled
for the eastern part of the city, but even
yet the unexpected might happen, and
there are features connected with us
construction, even If carried out as re-
ported, which will have such an impor-
tant bearing as to it's influence on many
values adjacent which should take the
wind out of those who have been gener-
ating material for balloon ascensions, and
which does not warrant any excitement
or reckless Investment of estates on WIS.,
ionary or purely prospective basis.
1t is apparent that a new business CEN
ter will follow in the wake of and in the
locality of the new passenger station
where ever 1t goes. and this will have
the influence of hardening values between
the present and new business center as
Developments take place and Will ulti-
mately, perhaps, have a tendency to min
iumize unreasonable rentals where such
are demanded and secured under con-
ditions that practically exclude healthy
competition-natural to a contracted busi-
ness center.
There Is a good inquiry for choice farms
throughout the state. and for truck
farms and suburban acre tracts, and SUD
urban homes at reasonable prices. There
is also liberal demand for acre tracts
suitable for subdivision into lots, and
the city and all interested should feel
grateful to a kind Providence that there
Is no Chinese wall or natural barrier
nearer than the Gulf of Mexico on the
south or the Great Lakes on the north,
the Atlantic on the east, or the "Father
of Waters" on the west to hold in or re-

horn blowing and land stalking outfits
mat are drilling and marshalling their
mighty hosts (of lots). all of which should
rejoice the hearts Of Utopissls, and silence
forever every conservative croaker who
nronoses to place any lsnits to the ul-
innate corporate boundaries of Greater
Birmingham.
Among other things, the city Is to be
