ONLY AT SHANGHAI.
Other Points Are Not Affected By the
 Boycott.

Washington, August 16.-Dispatches received at the state department from China show that Shanghai is the only place where the boycott against Amer ican goods has assumed anything like serious aspect. At Canton the move ment has made some headway but at other points it has not been successful.
 This information was supplied in re- spo.lse to instructions sent some days ago to Minister Rockhill and the con sular officers in China to keep the state department advised as to the progress of the boycott. One dispatch on this subject received today was not made public at the state department, but sent to the President at Oyster Bay.

IN THE BIRMINGHAM
 REAL ESTATE MARKET

The local real estate market showed It's usual activity yesterday fairly large number of sales being made Most of the transactions were in residence property. The activity seems to be con- fined to no special part of the city, all parts being well represented. No trans actions of importance were effected in business property but the demand con tlnues strong. Prices continue firm and are increasing daily.
 The number of large deals in the local market this week has been exceedingly small. This is accounted for only by the fact that owners of valuable real estate are holding it for higher prices.
 The new building on Third avenue. be- tween Nineteenth and Twentieth streets. which Is to be occupied by Simpson, Outright Co.,. is nearly completed Work on this structure was begun about three months ago and the new firm will open it's store there about September 15. The building is three stories high and is a model of convenience and Is tastefully decorated on the inside.
 "The real estate market in the suDurDs of Birmingham is rapidly developing" said a citizen of this city yesterday.
 "A great many people are building their homes in the suburbs. especially near the city.
 "The activity is very noticeable in North Birmingham. This place has grown considerably in the last year. Its .t.1. f1.4 oil ,@ it's inhabitants and it Is therefore en- couraging to homeseekers."
 The following real estate transfers were filed in the probate court yesterday:
 Joseph T. Coulbourne and wife, to Mrs Marie K. Baker, lot 8, block 7S1, Birmingham. Consideration, $47S1.sS.
 Peter Thomas and wife to J. T. Beasley, lots and S. block 176 Birmingham. Con sideratlon, $1.s72.9S.
