NO HOUSES TO Be
BUILT BY COMPANY

No building of houses will probably
be undertaken this summer, because of
the high cost of building, it was an
nounced by officers of the Richmond
Housing Corporation, Tuesday.
The corporation investigators found
that $4,000 was the lowest cost of
houses, standardized affairs which
come ready-cut, and they felt that this
was too much, in addition to the cost
of lots, to pay for houses in the pres
ent unsettled condition of industry.

further market commitments until a
clear vision is obtained concerning the
general business situation, which. at
the moment. Judging from the current
reports is anything but inspiring.
The volume of trading was on a very
small scale. but quite we'll distributed.
Most of the dealings were made up
Of small odd lots disclosing the paurity
Of tho outside interest. In consequence,
the market continued to be very thin.
and in view of the limited buying power
most all offerings were taken only a
price concessions.
Nothing in the local developments
was Of sufficient Importance to counter
act the depressing aud restrictive influ
