IN THE BIRMINGHAM
REAL ESTATE MARKET

The past week has been comparative
ly quiet one in local real estate circles.
Realty agents report numerous inquiries
for property but the general tendency of
owners of favorably situated property
is to hold for still higher prices, even
though the greatest trouble now is for
buyers to get reasonable quotations on
local real estate In this fact, chiefly,
lies the cause of the quietude of the mar
ket which is prevalent. With the excep-
ton of a comparatively small amount of
trading in the residence sections of the
city, there is little business being done
in the real estate line. Prices, however,
are reported steady on firm basis.
The proper papers were filed in the pro-
bate clerks office yesterday recording the
following transactions in local real estate
in which amounts of $1200 or more were
involved:
John Dillon and wife to Mrs. Katie NJ.

New York, January 5.-The Financier
says this week:
Last weeks official statement of the
New York Associated Banks was disap-
pointing in that it failed to record the
increase in cash which was expected from
the estimates of the previous known
Not only was cash lower, but the surplus
reserve was decreased instead of its be-
ing augmented as was looked for to an
unusually small sum, indicating that a
greater number of banks than was the
case in the previous week were below the
required reserve.
This showing of the surplus was due to
an expansion of loans and consequently
increased deposits. which was entirely un-
expected. a material contraction in loans
having been thought probable. It seems
likely that the loan expansion was caused
by the employment of money temporarily
deposited by corporations in the previous
week in anticipation of it's distribution for
dividends and interest which loans were
called last week when the above noted
payments were effected, therefore this
item of the statement was probably made
up on declining averages.
The cash loss shown by the bank re-
turn was $402 100; the estimates called for
increase of about $4,000 and this sum
was clearly traceable through the inter-
est
Deposits were increased 19277.200 which
amount was greater by nearly SS.0O0000
than the sum of the expansion of loans,
less the decrease in cash, so that the
statement did not make a good proof. The
required reserve was Increased 1888. 300,
adding to which the loss in cash. made
$j221, 400 as the decrease in surplus re-
serve to $147S25. the smallest amount on
record. though at the corresponding date
in 1906 it was $571,OOO. Computed on the
basis of deposits less those of SIG, 401 600
public funds the surplus is s4,24S225. The
Increase in loans was $l6,694 500. This eX-
pansion is explained above.
The daily average Of bank clearings dur
ing the week was 1925 100000, against $344,-
100000 In the previous week; clearings on
Saturday rejecting Fridays business were
1929, OO0S6i.
Comparisons of loans by individual
banks show that nine institutions i'm
paired this item by s14.750,00O net; seven
banks lost $4,000 coo net cash, and one in
stitution reduced this item five and two
thirds millions.

in the field, and at liberty to do anything they
wish to interfere with the rider except touch him

IN TINS paradOHlCal Drama OF 1eNo-
luton making is facing the enemy and fighting
the battles. They need not be very bloody battles,
except over the cable. Roped down volunteers
and indifferent spirited soldiers of fortune
scarcely be expected to make long and desperate
stands against anything that looks like dishear enng
odds. Then too the ammunition is so bad and the
pot metal guns shoot crooked and neither side
very much, unless it's cafe or two that is
about to be captured. One begins to understand,
after a time why it is that General Crespo could
start Venezuela revolution with only seven men,
and win.
And there are many things that must not be
interfered with The city warehouses and the stocks
therein must be touched. There must be
pillaging and burning at any such point; for the
insurance companies have ordained that in revolu-
ton time all policies null and void So the
claimant for support and popular favor has to step
gingerly, and teach his piage with tact and
which must always be respected: the railways, the
consulates, and the fruit business. Warfare
rage and blazon and seehe close about these three
but it must never touch them.
In fact the best asset between the twentieth paral
lei and the equator is tin consular ign If 1t bears
eagle it is all the better; for since the battle of
Santiago the Spanish American has learned little
more respect for outsiders. He knows that real
warshp with real guns is a source of danger and
much inconvenience. He is willing that the
