cultural products; the supply of these
materials may promptly be enlarged
whenever demand calls for it. Tt re-
mains to consider whether the labor
and plant capacity are sufficient to
make these materials Immediately
available. -
In the lumber industry 1t is es-
timated that there is an excess plant
capacity of 50 per cent, with a like
excess capacity in the brick, stone
and cement industries, while the steel
mills could easily expand their output
of structural steel through a curtail-
ment of other products.
Althugh there is not unlimited
amount of labor for buildingxopera-
tons, the unskilled workers, and even
the number of skilled workers, could
be greatly increased if the demand for
buildings should call for them.
While the general tardiness of
building operations is in a large part
due to hesitate to undertake new
buildings at current costs and to the
difficulties of financing such under
takings, it may be questioned whe-
ther such hesitation is chiefly re-
sponsibIe for the marked decline in
May, as compared with April of this
year. 1t appears that the traasporta-
the decline. There is no general ex-
pectation that by postponing new
building for a few months marked
savings may be realized through fu-
ture declines in prices. Even should
the 61ongdesired definite recession In
prices develop there is much ground
for the belief that for some time yet
building costs will show at best but
slight decline apart from temporary
| Ct
that there will be still further rad-
vances in building costs generally
AS for the influence of credit strin-
gency upon building operations, other
lines of business enterprises are also
affected, most of which show mark
ed decline in activity. as does the
building industry. ~
In some localiti\s bnere is a gHil-
! eral dearth of available, building ma
| terials. In some locations one or an
| other material may be found in sui

| methods of the building in hand, bu

lacking and, in consequence, opera

Brick, for example, is available where

problem of priorities, is, of course,
very complex one; with so many es

form are concerned, here again you
have a mere reflection. of the recent
advances in crude. So far as the
advances being more or less uniform
are concerned, here again you have a
mere reflection of national situa-
ton because crudes throughout the
nation advanced.
$50 far as uniformity is CONCERNED,
can you buy coal, or clothes, or shoes,
or autoIn biles, or any other articles
of common-use at prices which are
substantially different in various parts
of the United States, freight and
other costs considered? The prices
are determined by competition.
THE export of gasoline has very
little effect upon the situation, for,
up to the last two OF three years, our
exports and imports, broadly speak
ing, were practically balancing not in
terms of specific commodities, but the
total At the present time, however,
it looks as though we shall have to
import vast quantities of oil.
Except where there is a slack ue-
nnand, the fluctuations in the stocks
of gasoline Should not be regarded
as Particularly important. Where the
demand Is slack there may be tenn
porary recession in price in various
localities, not justified by general con-
ditions, because of the, fact THAT gaso-
fsline is a liquid commodity and the
storage facilities are therefore limit
led. You cannot pile it up like SO
many cords of wood. But where
consumption is equal to or greater
+! than demand, the fluctuations in the
stocks of gasoline are not particular
1 1y significant.
| ''Thess stocks are mere working
| stocks: It is the supply of crude

storage of gasoline is very small in
, comparison with the demand. You
