much longer be delayed, tendency
toward an advance in prices will soon
become evident. Let 1t be emphasized
again that it is easy to misinterpret
the position of the savings banks and
other financial Institutions commonly
relied upon for the money for the
payment Of construction expenses.
These banks do not refuse loans on
mortgages merely because the Of
fered security IL in the form of a
mortgage. Their conservative atti-
tude the past year or two has been
quite justified. They could not be
expected to finance buildings at val
uations above the prices the struc-
lures would realize once the period
Of imitation had passed. The banks
have not forgotten their experience
in 1873. They are ready, however, to
loan on mortgage security when val
ues have reached q reasonable level,
If only because such loans tend to

makes no less than SS per cent of the

in the Hoover survey OF waste in
American industries finds that far
the greater part Of the 100 per cent

wisely. therefore, may one get
ready to build. The grand average Of
prices of every kind in 1870 was
higher than 1t was in 1860 and lower
than it was in 1865; SO an absolute
recession to the scale of 1914 is not
to be expected today, but the crest
of the ridge has been safely sur
mounted, and what the bankers call
the new bedrock level seems to be
no great distance ahead. The opera
ton of the law of supply and demand
justifies the careful investor in max

the rare building opportunity that
apparently Is at hand. If his ideas
are tending toward finality he should
set his architect to work. have his
site examined, his plans drawn, his
specifications made. To get these

trict Court against the Southern
Pine Association, sixty-one cor
porations and sixty-nine individ-

conspiracy to curtail the supply
and increase the price of yellow
pine lumber.
The suit was filed by District
Attorney Carroll at the direction
of Attorney General Palmer. I
charged violation of the Sher-
man antitrust law by the Asso-
citation as asked for a preliminary
injunction to restrain the organ
ization from recommending or
suggesting the curtailment or
restriction of production Of yell
low pine ''or measures or acts
tending to result in such curtail-
ment or restriction. +"
1t was asked that. permanent
injunction be granted after the
hearing of the evidence.
Later, for purposes specified
in the suit it would amount to a
dissolution of the association,
Mr.. Carroll said.
The petition asserts that in re-
cent years 70 per cent of the en-
tire yellow pine supply of the
country has been produced in
Missouri, Arkansas. Oklahoma,
Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi
and Alabama and has been sold
in other States by persons and
corporations who were members
of the defendant association.
The association it charged is

Store Safe 1t Pelloek II Blown By
Thieves Sunday.
Pollock, La, Feb. Il. Sunday
morning at about 8 o'clock burg
lars entered the store of James
H. Walker by unlocking the front
door. The cash register in the
dry goods department was open
ed and a small amount of change
was taken. An explosive was
used and the door of the safe
was blown off. A railroad pick
had been used to break off the
lock on the inside safe door,
which gave access to the cash
box. Three notes and two checks
are missing. One check was
drawn by L. Franks & Co., of
New Orleans, in favor of James
H. Walker for $500. Another
check was drawn by Frank Ham
ilton on the Pollock Bank in IA
vor of Houston Nugent for $25.
Another check was drawn by the
Pollock Lumber Company for
Robert Tucker for SGT on the
Pollock Bank for a party whose
name is gotten. The amount Of
currency secured by the burglars
is not known. The safe was
completely demolished. The
burglars were evidently genuine
crooks. The rail-
road pick was the only clue left
in the store.
