BUILDING ACTIVITY
EXPECTED IN WAKE
Of LOWER PRICES

A renewal of building activities of
osi kinds, to be followed by one of
the biggest building seasons in his
tory next year. was predicted by At
lanta dealers Tuesday, on the heels of
the announcement that cement has
dropped $3.50 barrel.
This drop, they declared, was in
dicative of a general decline in the
price of building materials. Brick
and lumber, they said, are drifting
slowly but surely back to normal
price levels, and other materials are
certain to show similar fall in the
near future.
The drop in prices was attributed
to a number of factors The recent
cessation of building activities, be-
cause of the high prices, helped to
bring them down, said dealers, just
as the refusal of the public for a
time to- buy clothing and other
articles brought these prices down.
The drop in the price of coal, the
improved handling of traffic by the
railroads, fewer strikes and less
"strike talk" the tendency of labor
to "stick to the job" all have con-
trfbuted to bring about a more nor
NAL condition in building as in other
lines of trade dealers asserted.
