CALL FOR BUILDING.
MATERIAL LIGHTER
Actual Price Quotations Are
Rising in Face of This
Lessening Demand.

There has been a marked slacken-
ing in the demand for basic building
materials, causing concern among
prospective builders, says the Dow
Service Daily Building Reports.
Under ordinary conditions general
slackening of demand would preSage
lowering Of prices and upon this the
DRY many prospective builders are de-
ferring current projects. Others be-
lieve that in protest against the in
creaSing cost of building materials
they will indefinitely postpone build
ing operations. These two thoughts
are responsible for tightening the vol
ume of new construction projects here
and elsewhere.
Counterbalancing this policy is the
more insistent and far-sighted one re-

1t has only just lately been possible
to get expanded metal lath into this

banded metal lath are again being
quoted
Lime is still impossi Bile to procure

coal and power are forthcoming, with
a better supply of cars.
Industrial activity is being cur
tailed in many directions. and ii is
already noticeable that the railroads
are becoming more and more inter-
ested in building material tonnage.
which only a few months ago, was
treated almost as undesirable bust
ness in the face of demand for rail
accomm odation for automobiles and
other goods for domestic and export
markets.
Better Labor Relations.
Lessening building demand is hav-
| ing an effect upon the labor situation
! to marked degree. Greater eff
cheney is being reported by nearly all
| contractors. There is also closer mu-
| tua1 interest between organized en-
ployers and organized employees in
| the building trades as the index fig
