M Behrensmeyer said that recent
ly he had occasion to purchase a
large quantity Of brick and that while
talking with the manufacturer he was
told that if he would decide to take
the brick right then he would make
a reduction in price.
THAT was unusual" said Mr.. Beh-
rensmeyer, because there has nor
been a great deal of brick on the
market, up to a few weeks ago, ana
the dealers could get the price they
asked without ofGing any reduc-
tons
Brick manufacturers in Quincy say,
however, that brick is still at the
pirce It has been for the last year or
so and that they can see no decrease
in cost in sight
Quincy is not doing any building
and there is no demand for brick
here" said Quincy brick dealer To-
day, "but we have 50 many orders
from outside the city that we can no,
fill all of them"
While the rough brick for houses
