.LET-UP IN BUILDING
ONLY TEMPORARY
E. D. Rheem Says Caution
Has Resulted From Contrac-
ton of Credit.

Curtailment in Washington and
throughout the country OF spring ana
early summer building operations does
not mean an actual curtailment OF con-
struction work or permanent abandon
ment of urgently needed building, but
simply means that the financial situa-
ton, conditions in the materials mar
kets and unsettled labor conditions
have combined to make postpone
ments advisable from a business point
of view. This, in effect, is the opinion
of E. D. Rheem of Swartzell. Rheem
& Hensey.
In an article specially written for The
Star, Mr.. Rheem says:
"While the last month has shown
partial decrease in new building opera
tions. as reflected in permits issued not
only In Washington but throughout the
country. this is only an indication OF
the present contraction Of the money
market and should not be construed to
mean that builders have decided to cur
tail their operations BY this time Of
the year most of the large spring de-
velopments are under way. having been
started early in order to be ready for
fall occupancy. and for this rason the
month of May generally experiences this
little slump in the commencement OF
new operations of any magnitude
Calling Of Loans Causes Caution.
'The gradual contraction of credit.
Influenced by the federal reserve
hanks, which has been so widely ad-
yertised during the last fortnight, has
also had some slight influence on thls
temporary stoppage. This steady call
ing In of loans aimed at those indus
tries which have overexpanded and
which has in view the def1ation of
the currency by means of liquidating
bank loans on government securities
as well as loans for unnecessary pur-
poses, has made business in general
very cautious about venturing in new
enterprises. and no doubt has been
potent influence in slowing up the
building business along with other
industrial movements Executives are
consequently inclined to go little
slow in opening up new fields when
the means of financing these new de-
yelopments are so uncertain.
This condition is only temporary.
however, SO far as regards the build
ing business. People may be able to
get along without this or that prod
uct by substituting something a little
cheaper and nearly as good. but, after
all, they must live and have some
Mace to live in. While the extensive
operations commenced early in the
spring are aimed to meet the short
age in housing accommodations. they
will bv no means meet the demand.
which continues brisk ana any let-up
in new construction will only tend to
make the inadequacy of living quar-
ters more acute. For this reason
builders will continue to provide for
this demand. no matter how adverse
other conditions may become. and 1t
is likely that money heretofore used
for other purposes will be diverted to
this channel.

Good Year for VioIets.

Sweet peas have been forced for the
Christmas market only for many years
past. They must be started blooming
before the cold weather begins. Then
they will bloom all winter. Daffodils
do not get in until February, but al
most all the rest of the spring flowers,
hyacinths, narcissuses. bavardia, and
so on, are on the Christmas counters.
Easter lilies, too, though rather cold
and white for Christmas, are sold. Vi
Diets, are fine this winter, deeply,
darkly, beautifully blue. Some hi
gnonette now comes in enormous
sprays There are carnations but the
bright red Christmas carnation is the
favorite. Holly comes from the hills
Of Maryland and the south. The wild
holly supplies the market and there
has never seemed to be any percepti-
BILE diminution of the supply. Great
quantitiessof it are purchased by all
sorts of dealers, who decorate their
stores with it and send out sprig at
