Fronk T. Penny. district manager of the
Truscon laboratories of Atlanta, writing
in the Industrial, Index:
You ask, first, DO you advise inves-
tors to begin building operations now or
wait until next year?" To answer this
question, one oniy needs to look around
tmem in the southeast. AS rapidly as
every building is completed, no matter
of what character, it is leased for a term
of years at a rental consistent with the
cost of construction at this time With
this condition existing, surely there can
be no question as to the ACCESSIBILITY of
building now.
You ask, second, DO you look for
higher or lower building material prices
next year or &C you think the present
level CT prices will substantially prevail.
1t is the writer's opinion that there Will
be very little change, if any, in the pres
ent prices of building materials. The
prices of building materials are not
high at the present time, taking into
consideration the increased cost 'of raw
materials, labor and transportation

that it would be if restrictions in compe-
tition, due to strike conditions at fur
naces, were removed Should these con-
ditions change. considerable acticity
would doubtless be the case. There is
very little iron to be had for this years
shipment, and in consequence of the idle
ness of a number of furnaces 1t is not ex-
pected that there will be very much
available even should they blow in
promptly, as virtually every furnace is
behind in deliveries.
Continued interest is being shown in
coke, with heavy sales. This commodity
in the foundry grade, is likewise becom-
ing hard to find, and buyers are trying
to make their situation easier for the
next few months by purchasing such
lots of foundry coke as can be had for
early shipment, feeling that coke will
not be easily procurable In the next few
weeks. due to reduced production or of
difficult transportation on account of

with sales in good volume and eagerness
on the part of the buyers to locate their
favorite analyses. Pig iron available
from stocks and from current make of
furnaces is fast reaching the vanishing
point. Buyers have been taking practically
all of the iron that has been offered and
it is conservative to say that prices on
foundry and malleable iron this week are
from s. to 50 per ton higher than could
be secured a week ago. On basic there
is even a larger increase IN price. OF
the latter grade some large sales have
been consummated. and these may be the
forerunner of large buying movement.
'.Foundries are melting heavily as the
supply of suitable labor will permit and
it appears that the FOUNDRY capacity
with this limitation, is not sufficient
for the demand. Prices of castings are
advancing and some premiums are be-
ing paid to effect specially quick deliv-
cries on work which is increasingly
cropping up of an emergency nature.

Notwithstanding the labor unrest and

Early in the year building operations
moved slowly, but there base been a
rapid improvement in the past month.

trades are decidedly active, In many cities
