IN THE BIRMINGHAM
REAL ESTATE MARKET

Local real estate agents yesterday re-
ported another quiet day. There is COM
paratively little trading going on in any
section of the city with the exception of a
few transactions in favorably located res
idenee property. This grade of property.
especially, is now selling at prices al
most out Of reach and In the suburbs
property is almost as hard to buy. The
general tendency is to hold property. and
as THIS brings about the difficulty of Sc
curing suitable prices for the buyer, the
realty market is somewhat slack
Agents, however, are optimistic and be-
lieve that the market will very shortly
! assume its usual condition. Prices re-
main firm and shown no signs of de-
creasng.

bate clerks office yesterday recording the
