Real Estate Firms
Start New Homes
and Plan Many More

Prospects Of extensive building
operations in Omaha next year, in
spite of high priced material and
labor, are in evidence.
Omaha business men who have in
vestigated the possibility of drop
in building material costs, have ad-
vised that there will be no i'm
mediate drop, and urge that building
proceed. -
The Benson & Carmichael COM
pany is now starting five new houses
on property in various parts of the
city, all of which will be offered for
sale as soon as they are finished.
This is just start of what we
will do this Vt - E. A. Benson,
head of the firm said. There, is a
big demand for new homes, and the
only way to supply that demand is
to build them. Several of tie houses
we built recently were sold before
they were finishd. We will not wait
for prices to fall"
The Shuler & Cary firm is now
having plans drawn for seven or
eight new residences to be built this
year in the Lockwood addition, be-
tween Farnam and Dodge streets,
Just this side of Elmwood park.
The Charles w. Martin company
has let contracts for fourteen new
residences to be built in the Mime
Lusa section north of Miller park.
Some of these have already been
started.
c. w. Martin said his firm is pro-
ceeding on the theory that prices
of labor and material will not go
down, and that it plans to build just
as though prices were now on pre-
war schedule.
George & Co., Rasp Bros, and
other concerns are figuring on start
ing to build houses soon.
Architects plans for two houses
are now being drawn for the Rasp
company.

GRAIN REVIEW,

Chicago, Dec. 2s.-Acute scarcity OF
supplies has forced a big bulge In the
corn market this week, although most
Of the price effects have been confined to
nearby deliveries. Compared with week
ago, corn quotations this morning varied
from unchanged figures to 1880 advance,
oats were off ~ 92c to 2%c. and pro-
visions ranging from zoe decline to rise
Of 10c.
Nearly continuous stormy weather that
interfered with Smelling and with wagon
traffic had q good deal to do with the
nieagerness Of the movement of corn to
market with the fact that stocks were
down close to the vanishing point. An
additional reason, however. lay in the
fact that the surplus states this year
had produced 10000. 900 bushels less thai
the average On the other hand assertions
that feeding demand had passed the CHM
ak tended to check bullish sentiment In
regard to options later than January.
Oats lacked support notwithstanding the
strength Of corn Most Of the time, ship
ping call was slack, especially from tht
seaboard.
Provisions were heaving owing to con
tinued excessive offerings Of hogs, but
were partly sustained by knowledge OF
foreign need Of meats and fats and by
gossip that the February average price
Of hogs would remain at $3.50.

FINANCIAL REVIEW.

New York, Dec 2S.-Pessimism was the
dominant note Of the final week Of the
year on the stock exchange prices, with
few exceptions recording additional con-
cessions. In several important instances
these represented lowest levels since the
signing of the armistioe.
Conflicting opinions expressed by lead
ers Of finance and industry as to the i'm
mediate outlook encouraged traders to ex-
tend their short commitments, despite the
restrictions which are supposed to sur
round operations for that account
Resumption of heavy liquidation in LIB.
erty bonds with the first and seconds A
and fourth AIS at still lower records, and
the acute weakness of utilities. espe-
cialE local fractions, embraced the most
direct causes Of general unsettlement.
According to trustworthy account nc
small percentage Of the weeks outpour.
ings Of stocks and bonds emanated from
wealthy individuals and corporations, pre-.
liminary to the adjustment Of incomes fol
the expiring year.
The future Of the oountry's transporta.
ton systems was again the subject Of
much conjecture This uncertainty was
expressed in the irregularity Of investment
shares, which suffered greater impairment
relatively, than issues still in process Of
reorganization.
Postwar price conditions were most eff
fective In the copper group. which re-
acted sharply on the cut into the Ana
conda dividend, but rallied substantially
on the retention Of the regular dis
bursement by the inspiration directors.

Many People on Market
for Homes in Coming Year

w. R. Gibson, manager of the city
real estate department of Payne In
vestment company, reports that dur
ing the last year he has sold 76
separate residence properties at
prices ranging from $1,000 to $1,000,
the total consideration being . little
over S225,000. This figure does not
take into account sales of investment
or vacant property.
1t is Mr.. Gibson's idea that, on &C.
count of the high cost Of construc-
ton and the scarcity of help, there
will be- more people in the market
for houses in 1919 than there will be
desirable properties for sale. His ad-
vice to the man who Is contemplate
ing the purchase Of home is to act
at once.

Chicsro Grain and Provisions.

Chicago, Dec. 3s-Efforts Of shorts to
escape losses IN nearby deliveries carried
the corn market upgrade today. except
March and May options. which showed a
slight setback. The close was firm. Janu-
ary $1.43Q1.43A, May $1.36$ 01.36h, and
the finish a. . whole half cent off to
$40 advance compared with the a. hours
previous.
At first, all deliveries Of corn. barring
only December, had q downward slant
owing to predictions that after New Years
| a large crop movement would take place.
Subsequently, however, the fact became
evident that the congestion In December
| contracts had affected the January de-
livery, although the scarcity Of sellers was
Of lesser degree than in the December
option. A good bulge In prices for both
| months followed, and for February as
we'll. Rallies took place also in March and
May, but the upturns were insufficient to
overcome entirely the effects Of the early
weakness.

Mr.. McCague is regarded a. one

Omaha has no slack to take ur

q single business In Omaha will be

stopped.
"In cities where there were large
war industries, particularly In mum.

now lot Of junk, because war ma
