BIC BUILDING
BOOM ON IN
AMERICA NOW
Development Will Tax Ca
pacity Of Existing Mort
gage Machinery Of U. S.,
Bankers Say.

St. Louis, Oct. 20.-There is a re-
tarded building development ex-
tending over practically all OF the
United States which, when under
way, will tax the capacity of exist
ing mortgage machinery to the ut
most, according to the report. of the
real estate securities committee at
the convention Of the Investment
Bankers association.
Aside from this. continues the re-
port, a considerable portion of many
of our cities. notably New York, will
practically have to be rebuilt in the
next 20'years, and the existing mort
gage machinery is inadequate for
the purpose.
Real Estate Conditions Active.
This committees report adds that
real estate conditions the country
over may be said to be active, but
not highly speculative. and secure
ties are in most cases being based
not upon present prices and rents,
but rather upon fair compromise
between prewar and present costs
and upon proven earning power.
The committee says that recent
study in Is cities indicates that la
Dor costs have increased during the
last two years an average of S. per
cent and material prices 36 per cent.
The higher labor and building costs
have prevented a more rapid devel-
opment of the mortgage business at
a time when, with these factors nor
NAL, the growth would have been
pronounced, says the report.
Sounds Danger Signal.
A warning against speculation was
sounded at the convention OF the
Investment Bankers Association OF
America, which opened here today.
Thousands OF Statesmen" are
canvassing the country dispensing
spurious stocks and bonds. the
bankers asserted, and a wave OF
speculation, usually noted after a
war, Is spreading over the country
William G. Baker, jr., of Balti-
more, president of the association
compared the situation with the
speculation craze which followed
the F:ancc-Prussian war, and in
which many residents o. Germany
were made paupers.
Problems of reconstruction, the
| railroads, and various forms OF Sc
curitics are among topics to be
discussed at the convention.
