DECLINE SEEMS UNLIKELY.

Contractors and architects report but lit
tie Improvement in the building outlook.
and not much new work seems likely now
before July or early fall.
That there is plenty of money ready to
go into building as soon as there appears
some certainty in prices there seems to be
no doubt, and the first sure sign of a drop
is expected to start considerable work now
held up pending the decline.
Those who watch the building conditions
closely are not inclined to predict any
marked drop in the price OF material.
however, and If there iS any lessening of
cost it can only be as regards wages now
paid certain classes of labor.
The wages now paid plasterers, paint
ers and carpenters and a few allied trades
men are considered in excess of prices paid
in some other cities. This Is due, mainly,
to the urgent demand of Worlds Fair
ork, which is expected to be over not
later than July. following which a lower
wage scale is anticipated.
Still, others IN close touch with the
situation are inclined to take a more
optimistic view of present conditions, and
mand for building once breaks the rush
will have the effect of retaining prices
near their present height.
Again, the rebuilding of re-
Gently burned business area may afford
employment to much of the surplus in
labor which might become idle through a
cessation of work in st. Louis and other
cities. The wages of labor, regardless Of
organization, fuctuates with the supply
or demand, and so long as the present
prosperous condition of the country con-
tiuues no great drop in prices appears
likely.
Eliminating the Fair construction. build
ing reports for st. Louis as compared
with the several other leading cities of
the country is below the average. Stats
ties show a steady increase in the perma-
nent population of all the large cities.
Real estate men presume that st. Louis
has been receiving its full share. and the
more than 10000 increase in population
over the last census, they believe, can by
no means be all rated as transient.
Building. they say, has not kept pace
with this grow in population. All of
which is claimed as favorable to the con-
tinued prosperity of st. Louis In the
building line long after the Worlds Fair.
