In a telephone canvass of leading
manufacturers Of all Of the basic build

lures these conditions were reported:
Buyers who have been prone to can

cries or are now merely requesting

More money has been pledged or al
ready invested in new construction
work for the first nine months of 1920
than was pledged during the same
period in 1919. For 113 cities $1,17O,-
0OO,0 was invested in new building
enterprises, as against only 1871 100000
during the same nine months of 1919.
The difference is, however, that

of 1871 100000, when the average cost

The architects have been making a

they are advising their clients that de-
lay is dangerous if they need their

in New York than in any place in the
East, and already is moving up. The
entire building situation IS gaining

construction costs will strike a fixed
