partially responsible for present

eucy. Both the credit and the traf-
hc situation generally have eased
and the C. instructive industry may
anticipate relief in the near future.
Already the movement Of materials
is frccr. Building interests still ask
that materials receive priority over
less essential commodities.
While the election Is factor in
reducing new construction. the main

resistance of the public TO building

extremely large. The public is
awaiting lower figures on materials
and labor. The construction indus

wherein high prices and high wages,
Notwithstanding the urgent need OF
shelter, have arrested progress In
construction, wherein prices are rel
alive higher than in a majority OF
basic industries, il is simple justice
that stOppage should extend so far.
To the cost Of materials and
wages is added the uncertainty sur

prices Labor is aggressive, while

sideration from banking interests
and unexampled demand for new
construction.

MONEY RATES EASIER
AFTER FIRST OF YEAR

There - e. strong probability that
money rates will be easier beginning
about November and still easier
after january 1. Money require
ments for crop-moving are being
met without serious strain and the
underlying situation shows decided
Improvement.
This will help the bond market
Bond prices will respond quickly to
easier money because OF the very
low level at which good bonds are
now selling, and we look for decid-
eddy more activity and better prices
in the latter part Of this year and
early next year.
THE new railway rates will put
many roads on their feet whose po-
sition has previously been doubtful,
and the prices OF the securities Of
these roads are already responding
10 the change. But railway stocks
cannot safely be bought indiscrim-
iuatIy. The position OF each road
should be carefully studied"

while prices generally are coming
down. Landlords say they can not
fall until the building shortage IS
relieved.
Many persons are just beginning
10 feel the burden Of high rents by
reason Of protection hitherto
through lOng-term leases. Best
opinion is inclined 20 advise letting
high rents take their course, except
where patent prOfiteeriEg occurs.
Rents cannot decline materially un-
til the cost of building falls. y new

upon the investment it represents.
Inasmuch as the public refuses 10

by a decline in rents, may reason

For the immediate future tenants
should obtain some relief from the
downward trend in living costs,
which will enable owners of build

them probably for less money.
