COUNTRY IS Alt SET
| FOR BUILDING BOOM
Survey by U. S. Mortgage and
Trust Shows Tenants At
Limit OF Endurance

Conditions throughout the coun-
try are favorable for the start of an
extended building movement, ac-
cording to survey of over fifty CT
ties just completed by the United
States Mortgage and Trust Com
pany. -C
President Platten instructed cor
respondent banks, mortgage repres-
sentatives and attorneys to report
the immediate outlook on five sub
jects: Supply Of business and resi-
Dental spaces, prospects and trend
of rents, volume and class of new
construction, with trend of real es-
tate market; supply of mortgage
funds and tendency Of rate; reduc-
ton in labor and building costs,
with labor efficiency and unemploy-
ment; price reductions and volume
OF retail trade.
In digest form, he announced the
results as follows:
1T is manifest that the shortage
in business and residence space,
particularly the lated, brought
about by the lack of construction
during the war, has not to any large
extent been met because ofe xcessive
labor and building costs and to
what is perhaps OF equal import
ance, a condition in the building
trades until recently which has
made for inefficiency and uncer-
tainty. The seriousness of the
shortage is not to he minimized, but
the encouraging fact noted is a
general, if slight, evidence of i'm
provement. Rents are naturally
holding high and firm, pending the
erection of more buildings.
Reports indicate clearly that the
volume of building construction is
substantially reduced. This is due
not only to factors referred to in
the preceding paragraph, but to
higher money rates and the sudden
recession from wartime prosperity.
The residential shortage being the
most acute and financial require
ments in connection with same be-
ing more readily met by local funds,
it is but natural that new construc
tion is confined largely to homes.
I'm general, there seems to be
fair supply of mortgage funds, but
with rates ruling high and lenders
cautious as to building costs and
types of property. The funds of the
large life insurance companies,
which are going increasingly into
city and farm loans, are now an
important factor.
"While labor costs are almost
uniformly lower, the largest reduc-
lions are confined to unskilled la
Dor. The trend of wages, however,
is clearly downward. Building
costs have generally dropped some
what more IMAM LABOR COSTS, appar-
emily as the result of reductions in
and greater efficiency of
labor, which latter in turn has been
Influenced by widespread unemploy-
ment.
Retail prices have almost in
variably failed to approximate the
reductions in wholesale
prices, retail merchants resorting to
special sales and increased adver-
Using to tide over situation which
is apparently improving. Purchases
are being confined much more gen.
orally to essentials and buyers are
more cautious as to prices and quail

outlook Encourauinq

WILLCOx-The outlook for pump irrigation has improved greatly dur ing the past three months. Prior to February the prevailing retail prices of fuel oils suitable for farmers pumping engines were so high as to make the cost of pumping quite ex- cessive, but successive cuts in prices in the north Texas and Oklahoma fields have brought local prices down within reach of the farmers purse. Tops, or Arizona gas oil, is being sold now at Casa Grande at 1211a cents a gallon and in Willcot at F cents At Tucson the farmers are still pay. ing last years prices, but probably this condition will be ameliorated soon.
 The Arizona pumping trade re quires a peculiar quality of gas oil that in the past has not been known east of this state. It is necessary tC develop this new product at Texas re fineries
