EBORN OFFERS
 THE BEST REALITIES IN THE BEST TOWN ON EARTH.

Our realty market is gradually harden ing, with liberal inquiries coming in free. ly from various sources for all kinds of Birmingham and suburban real estate The applications for homes predominate, the larger number of inquiries being for medium-pr priced homes, $300o to S6000 There ia good sprinkling of inquiries for the higher grade homes, and also for central investment properties, with suburban acreage coming in for it's share There js nothing whatever in the condition to warrant a visionary idea on the part of owners to anticipate the market by 70 years or more, in stiffening up their prices, because there are people who would buy fl they could secure bargains. The move ment in the market is retarded, to a large extent, because of the fact that while there are purchasers for bargains they will not buy unless inducements are off, .ered, while the average owner takes the application to mean that there is a greate; movement than really exists. Whatever may be the changes in the minds of buyers and sellers, one thing is certain and assuring, and that is that the steady development of Birmingham is going forward at a pace gratifying to every one who has her interests at stake and who takes the trouble to inform themselves
 The Greater Birmingham movement, while having no marked present influence on prices of real estate, has a tendency 70 strengthen values, because it is ap- parent that the truth of the real Birn>1 $. ham has never been known to the outside world her limited boundaries and mis- represented population in the census hay ing had it's i'll effects, which will be sup lanted by that broader confidence, at home and abroad that will come in due season from a more perfect knowledge which her enlarged boundarles and the new census will disclose to the world.
 This will have the i-.fuence on outside capital and investors to attract them to Birmingham, both for investments in real estate for improvement and for mortgage income securities, which will have the tendency, in due season, to give Birming- ham and her people cheap money, pro. vided the proper attitude on the part of cur solons Is such to show in no un- certain manner that every one is friendly 10 outside capital and invite them with safety to enter the borders of the state for investment.
 Our people have had their fill of ''taxapho obia," especially as applied by many who have not understood it's i'll effects against outside capital. People are more cheerful; industries are opening up; the calamity bowler s hiding his head, and Birmingham and her people are looking forward to a prosperous future.
