VOL. II
A GOOD BEGINNING

The first of the new year has been somewhat of a surprise to those who ex- pected a period of lethargy to follow the holidays Retail trade has been steady, and not a few of the merchants assert that their business has been almost as good as 1t was before Christmas. The banks have had an active week, espe- cially in the savings departments. where the opening of new accounts has been quite a feature. This steady develop ment of the savings habit among the people of Birmingham is one of the most encouraging evidences of the sta billty and thrift of our population.
 There is a distinct tone of good feeling in the real estate market Inquiries from home people and abroad have been more numerous than for several weeks and actual trades show an increase in number.
 Several visitors were in the city from points in South and Central Alabama, and 1t Is significant that their inquiries

were directed toward residence real es- tate. Some sales of such property have resulted. It Is probable there will be an influx of planters and country mer- chants to the city during the present month, as this is the season between crops, and many of them will come with an intention to make Investments in Bir- mingham property. The interval between now and spring Is distinctly in their fa- vor, as tho real estate men will have more time to show them around and there Is some fexibllity in prices at present which will disappear when the period of real activity begins.
 The week has also been notable for the tearing down of tho Linn building to make room for the magnificent sky scraper which is to take its place. Build ing operations, though retarded to cer- tain extent by the weather. have been more than normally active for this sea- son of the year. and with reasonably fair weather they will increase in vol ume from this time forward until spring,

when they will assume gigantic propor- tions. Those who intend to build homes this spring or summer should begin preparations as soon as possible. Prompt action will mean money saved-in the price of lots as well as in contracts. Those who delay in the hope that build ing material will be cheaper a few months later are likely to be disappoint- ed. Lumber for instance. will probably be higher this time next year than it Is now
 Yes, the first week of the year has been suspicious. It strengthens the belief in the minds of the people that 1906 will be a period of grand development and sound prosperity In Birmingham.
