Furthermore, the chances OF this lum-
ber being thrown upon the market I'M
mediately after the contest are some
what remote in view of the fact that
negotiations are under way for a syn
dicate to take over the huge structure
for other athletic exhibitions during
the tenure of the temporary building
permit issued by the Building Depart
ment of Jersey City. and even beyond
that period if possible. 1t is consid-
cred more than likely that the great
lumber pile will not be made available
even to second hand material dealers
until the 1921 building construction sea-
son is so far advanced as to make the
waiting policy futile.
In the meantime building construction
Is taking on a definite stride. Gauged
by the quantity of materials moving
out OF dealers yards into actual build
ing erection work. the following table
showing the volume of basic material
distribution during the building season
OF 1920 as compared with the season so
far advanced in 1921 indicates the gain
ing strength of the New York market:
The New York herald., 1921-06-27

Apartment house construction Is the
predominant type of building work now
taking materials almost as fast as they
arrive in the market On Friday there
were no barge loads of brick on sale
In the wholesale market. although more
brick was on the way down the river
to meet Mondays needs. Brick prices
are firm, at s14 and SIS a thousand
wholesale, to which must be added the
cost of handling, hauling and 10 per
cent. for delivered prices.
The New York herald., 1921-06-27
Dealers Carrying Light stocks.

The most conservative building ma
terial and euqpment supply firms are
basing their estimates for building ac-
tivity for the remainder of 1921 at ap-
proxinately that of 40 per cent. of the
1914 building construction market in
New York. For small house and apart
ment work in the suburbs the building
material distributors are planning for
about half the 1914 level in demand for
the remainder OF the current building
season.
Few building material distributors are
meeting competition below present list
prices. Even on attractive volume close
buyers say 1t is becoming increasingly
difficult TO crowd bidders to worth
while price shading. Most OF the dis
tributors are doing practically a bro-
kerage business. carrying light stocks.
II any at all. and showing a disposition
to reduce existing stocks to a point as
low as possible.
The continued development of the build
ing construction movement now defi-
nitely under way Is stimulated by the
progress being made looking toward
wage neductions in the building trades
following the lead taken recently by the
electrical workers. Building investors
are inclined to look upon the success OF
the present movement as the means of
lifting almost Immediately the final
barrier to a speedy resumption of gem
eral construction which might readily
enter the autumn at a pace equivalent
10 GO per cent. of 1914 erection activity.

WAIT FOR TIMBER
FROM FIGHT ARENA
Thrifty Builders Think Break
ing Up of Stadium Will Bring
Down Lumber Prices.

Prospects of a further break in lum-
ber prices in the metropolitan building
construction market after the Carpen-
tier-Dempsey fight in Jersey City
through the dismantling of the giant
timber stadium and the sale of the lum-
ber in this market is causing small nome
builders temporarily to defer building
construction. according TO the current
Dow Service Daily Building Reports.
Fanciful estimates as 10 the total
qauntity of lumber contained in this
block square structure. rising three
stories above the ground, are entertained
by prospective builders in New YORK
and vicinity. The original estimate for
the lumber requirement of this arena
was 100000 board feet, but the total
quantity that will be used in the Struc-
ture and enclosures will approximate
100000 feet. Thrifty home builders
have told their architects that they VIII
wait before proceeding with home con-
struction until they can take advantage
of the dismantling of the stadium ana
the sacrifice sales through which spec
ulators will offer this material to the
public.
There are several reasons why pros
pective purchasers of this lumber will
be disappointed in following this policy
Much of the material used in the con-
structon of this amphitheatre Is sawed
wedge shape. thus rendering II unfit for
home construction use
Two million feet OF lumber. as COM
pared with the present markets supply
of approximately 100.G000Oo feet. which
is low compared with the markets sup
ply in distributors hands last year at
this time. is not sufficient to affect
market prices. especially in view of the
fact that the market price actually ad-
vanced last year when hundreds OF
millions of feet of building lumber were
dumped upon the market while the
military camps were being demolished.
