BUILDING COSTS
REDUCED HERE
Contractors Say Materials Are
Cheaper But Labor Is
Scarce.

Building is cheaper in Columbia nov
than it has been since the war, dealers il
building materials. contractors and srchi
iecis here say. Unskilled labor is down
Mil work is much less costly. IL is the
time to build thai home that you have
needed all these years.
In spite Of these inducements 10 bull.
ders, few homes a.e being constructed
now. contractors add. Money is hard to
get. and il is the general belief that
prices and labor may even become cheap
er. This beiiel is without much founda-
iion. these dealers say.
H. 5 Bill. Of the firm Of Bill and Wal
lace, architects, SAYS that the house short
age here this fall will be more acute than
it has ever been before. if more homes are
not constructed this summer. He be-
heyes that a general building movement
will be instituted among renters within the
month. Many houses have been sold
lately, and the families who rented them
are homeless.
Many old houses are being renovated
again this spring, in accordance with the
custom which has grown up among house
renting landlords. New plaster, floors
and plumbing make many decrepit house
habiiable again each spring.
4 few new houses are under consfruc-
ton in various resident districts Of the
city A house which would have cost
$4,000 last year is now being built for
$4,000. The main reductions in cost
have been in lumber, which is 25 per cent
cheaper than it vas a year ago; cement.
which is down about IS per cent. and
hardware, which has been cut about
per cent Unskilled labor is cheaper.

Brick and tile. the most used outside
building materials for homes here. are
almost as expensive as they have been for
the last few years.
The eight or nine room house Of sub

bia families Of moderate circumstances.
Every year the demand for such houses
among all building plans increases.
Every year, too, higher grade of con.
struction is wanted; more expensive ma
ierials, which make for greater substan.
iialiiy are used. This idea of using
only the best in homes here is responsible |
Tor the really small reduction in the cost
OF building. even though materials have
come down.

Stocks IRREGULAR,
RAILS ARE FIRM
BY STUART p. WEST.

NEW YORK, September 22.-The
stock market was irregular and the
trading movement generally unimpor-
tant. While setting the seal Of ap-
proval upon the sufficiency Of the de-
fiationary movement in finance and
business and Strengthening confidence
in the outlook, the cut in the bank
rate was no invitation to a fresh
speculative movement.
The speculative market, in fact
took little notice Of it. Prices opened
higher and short covering caused a
squirt of a point to two points in
some of the speculative leaders.
Railway shares were bid up for a
while under the lead of Delaware.
Lackawanna and Western. Reading
and Ontario and Western.
The selling was resumed in some
discussed bull pool' was involved.
chiefly in Mexican Petroleum and
!Studebaker.
This selling caused some temporary
uncertainty in the early afternoon.
but was well resisted in the list gen.
orally.
Ontario and Western.
Unusual activity at higher prices in
Ontario and Western. called atten-
ton again to the possibility Of some
thing important going on in this
stock. New Haven owns the major
ity Of Ontario and Western. New
Haven bonds are selling almost at
their very bottom and the stock yes
terday came within less than a
point of it's extreme low. While
New Haven's earnings have i'm
proved they have not improved
enough to take care of fixed charges,
to say nothing of the maturities fall
ing due next year. In a word, New
Haven is in position where it
would no doubt like to realize upon
its assets wherever situated.
1t paid $40 a share for it's majority
holdings of Ontario and Western, and
this road is now earning at the rate
of per cent a year, which is more
than 1T earned when it passed under
New Haven's control A dividend on
Ontario and Western would only be a
drop in the bucket for New Haven,
but if by putting the stock back on
a dividend basis a purchaser for the
road could be found at good figure.
then it would help matters for the
New Haven considerably.
Allied Chemical Ffrmer.
Allied Chemical was bid up sharply
at the opening of business on the fuller
details of the great disaster at the
Badische works in Germany. This is
the largest German chemical plant, and
therefore the most important rival of
the American concern, in case the new
tariff were not to give an adequate
degree Of protection.
Delaware, Lackawanna.
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
was the leader again among the rails.
There was nothing new to account for
the rise, which was simply due to a
reiteration of reports which have been
current for some time that the dividend
is to be increased. AS already pointed
out. Lackawanna is earning enough to
cover dividends at the old rate of $40
a share on its doubled capital. 1t
seems hardly likely that it will dis
tribute as much as this, but still such
action is possible.

BONDS ARE FIRM
At TH|GHERPR|CES

NEW YORK, September 22-The
two points of interest in today's bond
market were the federal reserve
bank reduction and what effect it
would have upon the investment
siuation and the result of the first
Offering Of $12,03S,S00 equipment
notes.
At late hour this afternoon the
only information obtainable about
the equipment notes was that they
were going we'll" The subscription
books were still open. In other
words, the Offering had not gone off
with rush, like others have re-
Gently.
But in view of the fact that the 6
per cent notes are put out at the
lowest yield SO far offerel-namely,
5.75 to $50 per cent-no immediate
oversubscription was anticipated.
There was no doubt about the con-
nection between the federal reserve
bank action and the general bond
movement of the day.
Dealings assumed a still livelier
pace. Prices pushed ahead and many
new high records for the year were
reached. New York Central debenture
IS were one of the leading issues to
make new high, crossing "a. These
bonds. the Big Four IS and the Balti-
more and Ohio IS, are all rated in the
some class. and all of them were SELL
ing substantially on a parity today.
Higher Price Levels.
Baltimore and Ohio SIS, Southern
Railway general As, Chicago Union
Station 61a IS and Rock Island refund
ing As were all up half a point
The demand is keener still for more
recent issues like the Great Northern
as, the Burlington joint 6a and the
Pennsylvania 6i2S. The Great North
erns rose point and the Pennsyl-
vaniaS nearly a point. The Burling-
ton joint 612s got into new high
ground.
Chesapeake and Ohio AVS were up
mand at higher prices for ST. Paul As

Atchison general As and Northern Pa
cific As.
Industrials Rise.
In the industrials United States
Realty IS reached SO for the first
time. Cuban-American Sugar IS
gained a point, Western Union 61as
made a new high, Westinghouse Elec-
trio Is and Dupont Is continued to
gain and Goodyear IS were very
strong, up from 103 to 1881. The
buying movement was resumed in
Third Avenue adjustment 5s. carrying
them up a point, and Market Street
