INVESTIGATION BY SENATOR'S WILL bE
 CONCLUDED TODAY

 and Housing Conditions
By Assocrated Pres.

New orleans, November 21.--Senator William M Calder, chairman, and other members of the Senate committee on reconstruction, left the city tonight for Birmingham, where they will conclude their iyestigations of the building in dustry and general housing conditions throughout the nation.
 During the past two weeks the com mittee has visited Cleveland Chicago. Des Moines, Omaha, Denver Kansa 2 City, St. Louis. Memphis and New Or leans, The committee will conclude it's public hearings at Birmingham.
 Before leaving the city tonight, Sen ator Calder stated that the committee has been endeavoring to learn how transportation for building material may be improved, how the fuel costs for the manufacture of building materials may be reduced, and how building labor may be encouraged to greater efficien- cy, so that building construction may become an attractive investment.
 ''The committee has found a falling market for surplus animal and ag- ricultural productsH said Senator Call der. "but the recent falling prices do not seem to be moving the goods. Among hundreds of business men whom have interviewed during the past two weeks there are few indeed who do not realize the necessity of 'deflation and lower prices; but all realize that the stagnation of business will have most unfavorable effect upon housing and unemployment"

 Highest prices were reached on he Iopening session and lowest prices were made Friday. At the highest tho trad ing months were ls1 to S1 points av>f Che closing quotations of the preceding ue eek. and at the lowest they were 21S Itc PA points under.
 The market moved over. a range of 2s0 to 325 points, finally closing at net losses of TIT to 204 points. December traded as low as 15c and closed at l5.4oc. July traded down to 14i5c and |closed at 14.s4c.
