CONTRACTS FOR MONTH
November Total Two Millions Less
Than October, Month
ly Review Shows.

November building contracts in the
section OF the country comprising
the District of Columbia and adjacent
states amounted to total Of $12.-
than the October figure, announces the
F. w. Dodge Company, in it's monthly
review of building activity.
The November total included $3,-
$4,000. or "a per cent, for residential
buildings; $2,S07,000. or % per cent,
for business buildings, and s1,72s, 900;
or IA per cent, for public works and
utilities.
Projected work reported in the month
of November was nearly three times
the amount of contracts awarded.
Projected work reported during the
first eleven months Of this year
amounts to nearly two and one-half
times the figure for contracts award
ed in the same period, indicating a
vast amount Of work in allegiance.
The buyers strike in the building
field. combined with the usual tend
ency to slacken up on building oper-
atoms with the approach of winter,
resulted in a further decline in ac-
tivity in November. according to the
Dodge Company. Contracts awarded
during November in the twenty-five
northeastern states of the country
amounted to $130,191, 900. compared
with s177,791.000 in October.
tracts awarded during the first eleven
months of this year has amounted to
per cent more than the figure for
the first eleven months of last year
it is pointed out.
Projected work reported in Novem-
Der was more than double the amount
of contracts awarded, the figures
show.
Projected work reported during the
first eleven months of this year has
amounted to $4,000, 100000. as COM
pared with about $500, 000, 900 for
contracts awarded.
Prices for building materials and
wages of building labor have shown
slight declines. but are not suscepti-
BILE of the marked declines that have
occurred in other commodities. In
fact, there is reason to believe that
building prices and wages are very
nearly stabilized. New methods of
financing housing developments are
being worked out.

known demand for building. the pres
ent slump, though Of serious magni-
tude, is Of a temporary nature, and
