BUILDING INCREASES
GREAT In AUGUST

The estimated value Of permits
granted during August. 1913. In 1853
cities totals s16s. s5s.s1. gain Of "a
per cent over the August 1913. total Of
s45. 81. .709. according to reports re-
ceived by Building Age. New York.
direct from city building departments.
It Is significant that the volume Of
construction for which permits were
granted during August 1913. is G7.-
0o0. 900 greater than for July. 1918, when
174 cities reported, showing that the
industry Is In fairly healthy condi-
tion.
Strikes have acted as q strong de-
terrent- to construction during the
past month, and many buildings have
Been held up.
Costs have Increased very appre-
ciably since the first Of the year. due
to the increases In wages and mate
rails. There has been much talk Of
profiteering by material manufactu-
rers and dealers. but so far no proof
has been advanced of any concerted
e1ort to advance prices. A commits
sion appointed by the State of I'LL
nois recently investigated material
prices In that State; II found satisfac-
tory evidence that prevailing prices
were tustifiable under present eco
nonnic conditions. The present high
prices will remain either until there
is a decided lowering in the general
scale of labor. or until more economi-
cal methods OF construction are
evolved.

BY BRoApAN WALL.

New York. Oct 4-The stock mar
ket opened strong this morning and
with slight profit-taking in the first
hour continued strong up toSthe close.
Final prices were the best OF the day.
The average recovery was about 1
point. but In some cases 1t ran much
higher. General Asphalt on the Curb
was the most conspicuous gamer,
showing an advance Of IA points. On
the exchange the particularly strong
features were Mexican Petroleum
General Motors. Kelly-Springfield
the sugar stocks. and Southern and
Union Pacific
Tobaccos were neglected but were
firm except Lorillard. which broke
s points.
Southern Pacific advanced nearly
points because 1t is reported from
Washington that the decision In the
oil cases will be handed down by the
Supreme Counrt Monday. Wall Street
was seldom known to guess correctly
on Supreme Court decisions either in
regard to the date or the substance
The case involves the ownership Of
several hundred million dollars
worth of oil lands in the West. II
the decision is favorable to the rail-
road, Southern Pacific Is very cheap
Union Pacific was marked up in
sympathy. st. Paul was strong, also
because oil has been discovered in
Montana on land adjacent to that
owned by the company.

ton that prices would advance sharp

Automobile shares were strong.

who were saying that its recent up
