IN THE BIRMINGHAM
 REAL ESTATE MARKET

A large number of transfers were filed in the probate court yesterday and a large percentage of these were for amounts over $10OO.
 The number of building permits issued yesterday was larger than any day so far this week, most of them being, how ever. for repair work. The activity in building circles is well distributed over the city.
 'The local real estate market has been remarkably active during the month of September" said D. M. Malone last night.
 'rhe most notable feature has been the movement of the eastern North High lands. happen to know that the Bir- mingham Realty company has sold about $l00,000 worth of real estate In and around Norwood since the first of the month. This indicates to me that the people of Birmingham recognize that section of the city as the home center of the future.
 Another important development of the month Is the announcement that a fif- teen-story office building Is to be erected on the site now occupied by the Linn building, First avenue and Twentieth street. This assures the future of First avenue as one of the retail trade thoroughfares of the city-or rather 1t means that the people who are to in- vest half million dollars in this building are convinced that First avenue will con tinue to hold its own the location of smart shops and stores and they are right. Any one who will give a moments thought to the topography of the city must admit that First avenue, notwith- standing it's development in other lines of trade, is essentially a retail trade ar terry"
