CONSTRUCTION OF
HOMES SHOWED A
DECLINE in 1920
Residences Were Only 20
Per Cent of Total
Building.
INDICATE SHORTAGE
Educational Projects Show
More Work Than Any of
Other Classes.
INDICATE SHORTAGE

The most conspicuous feature OF
1920 was the decline in residential
construction which in 1919 repre-
sented SO per cent Of total construc-
ton and in 1920 only 20 per cent,
according to data compiled by the
!. W. Dodge Company. The amount
Of residential floor space contracted
for. declined from 24O,OOO.OOO square
feet in 1919 to l36.O00,OOO square
feet in 1920.
In the amounts of money involved
In 1920 contracts. industrial plants
and public works and utilities both
exceeded residential buildings, each
representing about 23 per cent Of
the years total. There was in 1920
an increase over 1919 in actual vol
ume of construction of educational
buildings
In normal years the total Csti-
mated cost OF contemplated or pro-
jected work reported is about 40 per
cent in excess of the total amount
Of contracts awarded. In 1919 the
total Of projected work was IS per
cent in excess of contracts awarded
and in 1920 it was 80 per cent in ex-
cess of the contracts awarded
These figures give an indication OF
the amount by which each of the
two years has run behind its an
Mounted construction program.

il was extremely advisable to form
a much larger corporation than had
hitherto been conceived for the pur-
pose of financing our export trade.
A committee of the association was
authorized to call a meeting of rep
resentatives of agricultural, f1nan-
cial, industrial and producing inter-
estS of the entire country to con-
slider this proposition.
This conference was held in Chi
cago on December 10 and II. 1920.
The conference, numbering hun
dreds of men from all parts of the
United States. unanimously ap-
proved the plap proposed by the
executive council Of the American
Bankers Association for the forma-
tion OF a foreign trade financing
corporation with a capitalization OF
S10O,0O0,OOO.
The needs for such an institution
were clearly pointed out IN the Chi
cage conference. The fundamental
causes of the difficulties which are
now being experienced are not TO
be found primarily in America but
mainly in Europe.
Europe's Needs.
1t is estimated that this year Eu-
rope will consume from 3Oo.OOO,O0O
to 4OOOOO,OOO bushels less of bread
grains than during the prewar
years. The present depression in
the wool market is caused very
largely by the surplus stocks of low
grade woods which were formerly
/ consumed in the countries of Cen
trail Europe. These countries are
now unable to purchase their Gus,

lated stocks are depressing the
world market. The same is true OF

LOUISIANA GAS
TO Be CONSERVED
U. S. Bureau of Mines to Con-
duct Investigation Along
These Lines.

At the request of Hon. John M
Parker, governor of Louisiana, the
United States Bureau of Mines is
preparing to conduct an investiga-
ton regarding methods for the con-
servation of natural gas in that
State. The investigation will be
made by r. A. CattelI, petroleum
engineer. under the general direc-
ton of H. w. Bell, engineer in
charge of the field office OF the Bu-
reau Of Mines at Dallas. Texas. The
work will begin probably in the ex-
tensive Monroe field. in northern
Louisiana. but will be extended
later to embrace all fields in the
State The expenses of the investi-
cation will be borne by the State
Of Louisiana. 1t is expected that the
work will cover a period of several
months.
Another new investigation by the
Bureau Of Mines is a study of condi-
tions in the Deaner oil fields in
Okmulgee County. Okla, which will
be conducted by NJ. J. Kirwan and
F. Y. Schwarzenbek, petroleum en-
gineers. This work. which will have
the active cooperation of the Ok
mulgee Chamber of Commerce and
of oil companies operateing in that
field, will be designed to assist in
solving the problems of oil pro-
ductiOn peculiar to that district
and Messrs. Kirwan and SchwaIzen-
bek will endeavor to advise opera
tors as to the best methods uf pro-
duction and conservation. It is
probable that this investigation will
be extended at a later date to the
Slick field in Oklahoma.

S0FT-COAL SLUMP
WORST in YEARS
Depression and Decline in Ex-
ports Bring Market to
Standstill.

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. IL. - The
bituminous coal industry is suffer
ing from the worst stagnation in
many years according to the con-
sensus among operators and distrib-
uters in Philadelphia. There is prac-
ttically no demand for spot coal. the
only sales being on contracts made
last fall. This condition prevails
not only in Philadelphia, which is
one of the great bituminous centers
the United States.
The Calder bill. now before the
Senate. which proposes to regulate
the coal industry, has incurred the
unanimous opposition Of the opera
| tors.
Manufacturers seem unwilling
to make any future contracts at
present" said an officer Of the Ma
| deira NHin Company. When they
can buy spot coal so Cheaply they
do not want to make any commit
ments for the future. The result is
that the mines are operating from
