Prices of Common Bricks
Stabilized for Season

There is much in the March ! re-
ports of the members OF the Common
Brick Manufacturers Association of
America to indicate that the price
of common brick is well stabilized
for the building season of 1921. The
number of manufacturers reporting
is larger than in any previous
month. being 142. representing ap-
proximately 40 per cent of the
country's total production. After
from three to six months of almost
complete inactivity. We find COM
mon brick prices ranging from S13
to s25 per 1000 at the plant. with
only four concerns out of 142 quot
ing the lower figure. While aver
ages do not mean anything, under
such conditions. it is interesting to
note that the average for the "a:
companies is s1s.o5 per 1000. Dur
ing the past month ninety-eight
have held without reduction in
price: seven have cut $500 per 900:
twenty have cut sS2.0o per 1000;
sixteen report reductions less than
$500 per 1000, and one reports a
cut greater than $500 per 1000.
This remarkable fact develops
from the reports: That, on an aver
age 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 con-
stitute the most expensive element
in putting brick on the job. The
manufacturers are in concert in
saving that brick prices cannot he
further reduced except by an ad-
justment of freight rates that will
remove the unwarranted wartime
handicap of cents per 100 imposed
by General Order %. This raise,
frankly intended to discourage man.
ufacture and movement of brick
during the war (not to increase
railroad revenues), to conserve
transportation and fuel. has been
permitted to remain a burden upon

CHICAGO, April 2.-Ordinarily.
according to Thomson & McKinnon.
in their weekly grain review. the
April condition of the winter wheat
of December l. but this year
the situation is directly reversed.
private estimates of the April con-
dition showing TO 5 points better
than the government estimates in
December last. This. Of course, is
due to the absence of severe wealth
er throughout the winter. Not only
is the condition higher. but the
amount or winter killing and the
consequent abandonment OF acreage
is considerably less than usual. This
very nattering outlook for the grow
ing crop is influencing sentiment in
the entire trade, even to the coun-
try dealer and the producer, as evil
denced by a considerable increase
in the offerings from the country
dealers; also by a sharp reduction in
the premiums for cash wheat at
anu III tne DluS
from terminal markets to the coun-
try dealer.
1t is conceded that the presence
of insects throughout the entire
belt is larger than normal. but prac-
tically no damage has occurred up
to this time. There is feeling
now that timely rains in the future
will produce a crop greater than the
fve-year average. The market has
also been hurt by Increased offer
ings of Canadian wheat for ship
ment at the opening of navigation.
Milling demand is still of the hand
to-mouth order. Export business is
being done on a rather liberal scale,
but only as prices decline, foreign
ers not being willing to purchase
when market shows strength.

siderably, the only result of mis-
being . slight firming Of discounts
at the various terminal markets,
there being no evidence of any bet

ularly of corn, are a constant load

Continued Yielding of Prices

Nearly . year has elapsed since
the price decline began to gather
momentum, and yet the yielding
continues. Recessions in wholesale
quotations are again largely in the
majority this week, as Dun's list
demonstrates, and various groups OF
commodities are affected After a
far-reaching readjustment. texti.-s
are rather steadier, and certain
other articles that have fallen
sharply in price now show some re-
sistance to the downward tendency.
1t is still true of most markets
however. that depression is the pre-
vailing condition. and many future
commitments are apparently being
deferred until a more stable situs-
tion develops. In channels where
speculation is a large factor in
daily movements. as in grain and
cotton. the sudden drop in tempers
ture this week gave temporary sup
port to prices. there being talk of
possible crop damage. Yet little
actual injury to wheat was report

for frost to harm cotton seriously.

BANK CLEARINGS.

iness has developed in some quart
ers. statistics of bank clearings
continue to make an adverse ex-
hibit. last weeks decrease being the
largest reported since the economic
readjustment began. The decline.
which amounts to ss.1 per cent at
twenty cities making returns to
DunNs Review. is partly explained.
however, by the appreciably lower
commodity prices and by lessened
speculative activity. The weeks
aggregate clearings of $5,01s,523,ess
contrast sharply with the ss,1Ie.-
111.303 of this period last year, and
are 22.S per cent smaller than the
