IN THE BIRMINGHAM
 REAL ESTATE MARKET

Although no further advance in the &C., tivity of the local real estate market was noted yesterday, there was a steady tone all day. The small amount of mer- cantile property that is being offered for the market is said to be the chief hin drance to activities in the business sec ton, but trading in the residence portions of the city are reported lively.
 Papers were filed in the probate clerk s office yesterday for the first large trans action in local real estate which has been recorded this week. The property involved was sold by John W. Mcconnell of this city to Sallie S. Trimble of Atlanta, and Is described in the deed as lot 20, in block 3 Birmingham forming rectangular parallelogram fronting 50 feet on the north side of Sixth avenue, north. and extending back 19O feet to an alley. The considera- tion involved was $15.000
 Other transactions in local real estate in which amounts of s100O or more were involved were recorded in the probate clerks office as follows:
 l.. G. Mason and wife to J. s. Har- ris, the west half of lot 16. in block 15. fronting 20 feet on the north side of Seventh avenue, north. and extending back 100 feet, the consideration for which was $27O0

DUN'S REVIEW.

New York May 11.-R. G. Dun & Co., s
 weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Domestic industrial conditions are great ly improved by the anthracite coal set
 tlement and the resumption of traffic
 on the lakes, while the international sit
 ua ton is much brighter now that the
 French elections have passed without se-
 rious outbreak.
 Foreign conditions are of unusual im-
 portance to business interests in the Uni
 ted States owing to the present close re- lations of the money markets Prices of
 securities. however, recovered part of the
 recent loss and heavy imports of gold have at least temporarily relieved the financial stringency. Manufacturing plants operate close to their full capacity with orders in the steel industry already run
 ming well into 1907, and structural work was never more active. Wholesale trade in fall and winter goods is on a large scale. but unreasonable weather causes much complaint regarding retail distr- button of merchandise and retards work OF the farms in several important sec tions. This element of uncertainty as to tine crops tends to maintain quotations of staples at a high position. Duns' Index Number of commodity prices on May was
 s106O59, against $1O6066 month previous,
 the slight decline being supplied by dairy and garden products, but compared with
 the level of all quotations a year ago there is an advance of S.7 per cent. Rail way earnings thus far available for April show a gain of 9.7 per cent over the pre- vious year and foreign commerce at this port for the last week exhibits gains of S4,526.277 in exports and s42S,4aS in inn ports as compared with the same week in 1905.
 Mercantile collections are still somewhat
 irregular, but show a slight improvement on the whole. Bank exchanges at New York for the week were 23.S per cent
 larger than a year ago, partly because of
 the much heavier trading in securities. At other leading cities the gain averaged 9 .56 per cent.
 Conditions in the iron and steel indus
 try have beein greatly improved by three
 settlements of labor controversies that handicapped progress to some extent. Failures this week were 209 in the Uni
 ted States against 197 last week, and 17
 in Canada, compared with 2l a year ago.

BASIC CONDITION
 Is MUCH IMPROVED Cool Weather Affects Trade in Light Weight Goods FALL ORDERS EXPANDING Manufacturing In All Lines the County Over Is Active and New construc-
 ton Work Is of Marked
 Proportions.
FALL ORDERS EXPANDING

New York May 11.-Bradstreets sum mary of the state of trade tomorrow will say:
 While cooler weather has temporarily deterred retail sales of light weight fab rics and perhaps has severely affected fruits and early vegetables, events of the week have improved the great basic conditions. Growing grain is in fine shape; fall orders except at few points con tnue to expand, the labor situation is certainly more favorable; manufacturing in all lines the country over is active; new construction work is of marked pro- portions demand for material is heavy, orders for steel rails are large, the in surance situation is easier, and so are money rates, while collections save at a few centers tend to improve. In fact un- derlying conditions could hardly be bet ter.
 The labor situation especially shows marked improvement The anthracite coal tie-up has ended. and 140o00 men will go to work shortly. The btuminous strike is not entirely cleared up. but the lake traffic strike which promised to be very serious has been adjusted, and much congestion and diversion of freight from water to rail routes has been obviated Troubles in the building trades too, have been very generally settled, and that line now is apparently having the greatest year in it's history. The scarcity of labor in fact Is still the only drawback to an apparently boundless activity in nearly all lines
 Cold weather with frosts of varying in- tensity which have retarded crop develop ments is reported to have done some damage to fruits and vegetables, may necesstate some replantng of cotton in the north part of the cotton belt
 Business failures for the week ending May 10 number 160 against 199 last week and 1oS in the like week of 1905.

SCALY ECZEMA
 ALL OVER BODY
Eruptions Appeared on Chest, and Face and Neck Were All Broken Scales and Crusts Formed Iowa Lady Has Great Faith in Cuticura Remedies for Skin Diseases.
ANOTHER WONDERFUL
 CURE BY CUTICURA

"I had an eruption appear on my chest and body and extend upwards and downwards, so that my neck and face were all broken out; also my arms and the lower limbs as far as the knees. I at first thought it was prickly heat. But soon scales or crusts formed where the breaking out was. Instead of gong to physician, purchased complete treatment of the Cutieura Remedies, In which 1 had great faith, and all was satisfactory. A year or two later the eruption appeared again, only little lower; but before 1t had time to spread I procured another supply of the Cuti- cura Remedies, and continued their use until the cure was complete. It IS now five years since the last attack, and have not seen any signs of return. l have taken about three bottles of the Cuticura Resolvent, and do not know how much of the Soap or Ointment, as I always keep them with me; probably one half dozen of each.
 "I decided to give the Cuticura Rem edies trial after had seen the results of their treatment of eczema on an infant belonging to one of our neigh bors. The parent took the child to the nearest physician, but his treatment did no good. So they procured the Cuticura Remedies and cured her with them. When they began using Cuticura Rem, edies her face was terribly disfigured with sores, but she was entirely cured. for I saw the same child at the age of five years, and her mother told me the eczema had never broken out since. l have more faith in Cuticura Remedies for skin diseases than anything l know of. am, respectfully yours, Emma E.

DRIVEN TO EXILE.

Life Of Kingsley Spoiled by Ancient
Law.
SHELBY, Iowa, May 29.-Strange
and romantic is the story revealed by
a diary found on the body Of a man.
horribly mutilated. alongside the track
eight miles north Of Shelby. Accord
ing to the diary, the dead man was
William Kingsley, a grandson Of Rev.
Charles Kingsley, the English uathor.
He was apparently about IS years Of
age and neatly but roughly clothed.
Besides the diary several letters bear
ing an English postmark, but unsign-
ed. were found in his pockets. He al
so carried valuable gold watch of an
cient make and bearing the monogram
of the man whose descendant he claim
ed to be.
The diary-or rather Journal, for
the dates extended over ten years
revealed the fact that the man had
become practically an outcast because
man to marry his deceased wife's
sister. 1t seems that Kingsley, If such
was his name. married in 1894 the
Hon. Mary Hamilton. fourth daughter
of a Scottish duke: that i'm the ensuing
year the wife died, leaving an infant
daughter.
Could Not. Marry Second Love.
The daughter was taken in charge
by Dorothy Hamilton, an older sister
of Kingsley's wife. who also took
charge of the establishment which
the married couple had. maintained.
Kingsley. in the course of time, came
to love Dorothy Hamilton and wished
to marry her.
Here the law against such alliances
interviewed and Kingsley sought
through the influence of powerful
friends to have a law passed by par
lament which would permit him to
wed the woman he loved, and who re-
turned his affection.
The bill was introduced in the house
of commons and was passed by that
body without much trouble. But like
numerous Of it's predecessOrs-for the
question has been before parliament
for numberless years-the house of
lords rejected the measure passed by
the popular body. .
Proposed an EIopement.
Then. according to the diary. Kings
ley sought but failed to induce his sis
ter-in-law to elOpe with him to Amer
lea, where they might be united in
marriage.
After making one other effort to ov-
ercome the conditions which prevented
his marriage, he left his child in the
charge of Dorothy Hamilton and came
to the United. States.
The journal for the next few years
is a record of his wanderings.
The letters which were found on his
dead body wer Elm a feminine hand,
and though unsigned, apparently were
written by the woman he loved They
breathed the purest affection and
counseled patience on his part and
held out the hope that eventually all
things would be righted.
