BUILDING PRICES
BECOMING STABLE
Buying in Lumber Will Begin
Early This Spring,
Trade Believes.

There was another general decline
in wholesale prices of all construction
woods during the past month, but at
the close of January the prospects for
stability were more favorable than at
any time since the landslide in values
began last summer. The most no.
table reductions since January 1 were
in North Carolina pine flooring and
other items OF upper grades, and in
the better grades OF Southern yellow
pine and Douglas FIR. The lower
grades of these principal construction
woods showed little change, for the
very good reason that before the ar
rival Of the new year these items were
whoIesaIing below actual cost of pro-
duction.
AS soon as the Clippers" get back
to a more normal level-and in some
woods they already have reached that
point-a stable market may be eX-
pected. This means that the bottom
OF the lumber market has almost been
reached. and as soon as buying is re-
sumed to the extent that producers
feel justified in resuming operation
the upward trend will begin.

Der into cash. Any new lumber pro-
duced will sell on a higher level This
Is clearly indicated by the fact that
the manufacturers have made IL gem
orally known that they Will not again
start up their plants until the mar
ket is more active and until prices are
more In keeping with costs Of produc-
ton.
The cut in wages has enabled the
producers TO reduce production costs
to some extent, and for this reason
it will not be necessary to boost sell
ing values up to last years peak, but
prices will undoubtedly be higher
ninety days hence than they are TO
day. In the middle West there have
been no reductions in prices to speak
OF in three weeks. which means that
the turning point is about here. This
condition will be reflected in Eastern
markets early in February.
Lumber has taken the lead OF all
building material in price reductions,
and lumber is used more in individual
housing construction than any other
material. This fact, IL made known
to the prospective builder. should en-
courage early spring building. Trans
poftation conditions have improved
to the point where exceedingly prompt
deliveries OF lumber orders may now
be relied upon. Building labor is
plentiful and there is no indication
of labor trouble.
on the other hand, men are seeking
jobs today, and il is highly possible
that labor conditions will continue to
grow better and that wage scales may
actually be reduced in the building
trades. Certainly labor costs will not
increase this year. Both transporta-
tion and labor conditions, therefore,
are highly favorable to an early re-
sumption Of building. The lumber
producer is aware of this. and he
looks for a good volume OF business
for the last nine months OF 1921.

Vision OF a greater real estate

week
Fairfax .pointed out how many
other cities maintained an organiza-
ton which furnished all with vaiu-
able information. He pointed oTt
that II was up to them to build
something worth while which would
not only benefit themselves but the
city at large.
Plans were also laid for a oen-
eficial publicity campaign educating
the public to the wisdom of pur-
chasing a home.
II. l.. McKeever was named chair
man OF this committee and he was
authorized to map out a campaign
and submit IL to the executive COM
mittee for approval.
Most of the meeting was devoted
to a detailed discussion incident to
the framing of a standardized sales
contract.
Charles Shreve, who presented the
draft from the special committee,

being 142, representing approximately
40 per cent of the country's total pro-
duction. After from three to six
months OF almost complete inactivity,
we find common brick prices ranging
from $13 to $25 per thousand at the
plant, with only four concerns out OF
142 quoting the lower figure. While
averages do not mean anything, un-
der such conditions it is interesting to
note that the average for the 142
companies is 31S.05 per thousand.
During the past month % have held
without reduction in price: seven
have cut $500 thousand; twenty
have cut 81 a thousand; sixteen re-
port reductions less than 81 thou

This remarkable fact develops from
throughout the country. 40 per cent
Of the delivered on the job price of
common brick goes for fuel. freight
on fuel and freight on the brick.
Freight rates today constitute the
most expensive element in putting
brick on the job. The manufacturers
are in concert in saying that brick
prices cannot be further reduced ex.
cept by an adjustment of freight rates
that will remove the unwarranted
wartime handicap of 2 cents per hun
bred imposed by General Order %,
This raise, frankly intended to dis
courage manufacture and movement
OF brick during the war mot to in
crease railroad revenues), to conserve
transportation and fuel, has been per-
mitted to remain a burden upon the
builder. When the recent freight ad-
vance of from 70 per cent to 40 per
cent was made, 1t was put on top OF
the wartime rate, giving a prohibi-
tive rate in many sections. General
Order rs resulted in freight rate in
creases Of from 100 per cent to $50 per
cent upon short movements of brick,
and nearly all common brick hauls
are short. Also II costs the manufac-
turer more to get coal moved from

to buy coal delivered.
