Speciality Exports
Hold Up Well, but
Show Some Changes
Jewelry, Dental Goods and
Hardware Show Drops;
Cash Register Units Ad-
vance From $40 to $3.50

Exports Of specialties such as athletic
goods, jewelry, Photographic goods, Of
fee appliances, etc, for the calendar
year 1921 when compared with those
for 1913 on the whole have held their
own ground, and where substantial
changes have taken place the causes
can be readily traced as being due to
worldwide lack Of activity in those
commodities, rather than to loss of
business to competitors, says the spe-
claltes division of the Department Of
Commerce.
This is shown by preliminary esti-
mates Of 1921 exports which have been
compiled, with December totals esti-
mated on the basis of the preceding
i've months figures. While some items
show conclusively that high prices have
resulted in the maintenance of total
figures at level even with 1913, it
is in most cases apparent that the in
crease over 1918 is considerably in eX-
cess of the enhancement due to 192l
price levels
Jewelry exports have declined con-
siderably. although gold and silver
manufactures show a slight increase
since 1918. Dental goods have dropped
10 nearly half of our 1913 trade. There
nas bee n a decrease of over so per cent
10 hinges and builders hardware, not
Unexpected in view of stagnation IN
The building trades, but the 1921 ex-
forts of locks show a marked increase
ever those of 1918. Adding and calcu,
atlng machines have greatly increased
IN Quantity and value. Cash registers,
% the other hand, show a surprising
.aaeeiine, and it is only due to the fact
Mat there has been large increase IN

Half Million
Buildings We're
Started i'm '21'
Far Ahead of Previous Years
in Quantity Construction;
Local Operations Indicate
This Will Be Great Year

Official returns from 1872 cities show
that 1921, in spite Of the fact that It
was regarded as year Of very slow
recovery in all indus stry. set a record
unsurpassed in the issuance Of build
ing permits.
The qualification OF this is intens SIZED,
because much Of the projected activity
will become reality du ng the present
year, unless especially untoward condi-
tions develop. Barring such misfortune
the work is sure to go ahead. The per-
mits we're taken ont at time when con-
ditions for building were not so good
as now. Not all the problems Of fnan-
cling or of labor or Of high charges for
transportation and materials have been
worked out, but solutions are being
sought for earnestly, and much ad-
vanccmcnt has been made. Studied in
this light, the following figures chal-
lenge the construction industry to clear
its decks and prepare sor a further
Qnd greater development of our ma
tion's shelter facilities.
AS reported TO "The American Con-
tractor" directly from the permit grant
ing Offices of the cities in question, the
sum total Of building permits issued
during 1921 is 528, 8,755. In the identi-
cal 1872 cities during 1920 there were
4o5.472 permits issued. In 1874 cities
during 1919. there were only 4l8,967
permits issued
The total estimated valuation of the
permits issued during 1921 is s1,707,-
528,393. During 1920, in the same
cities, the valuation was s1,459, 1862 ,023,
and during 1919 in 1914 cities the valua-
ton was sl,428. .423 ,sS3. These figures
show that 1921 registers a gain of
II per cent over 1920 and slightly more
over 1919. This idea of gain is
siren taened when it is considered
that the cost OF construction has been
materially lower during the past year
than it was in the latter part Of 1919
and during 1920. 1t is also 20 be noted
that during the early months Of 1920
and the later months of 1919 many
contracts were Cancelled.
The following tabulation Of permits
shows that the average valuation per
city is much higher in 1921 than in any
of the other past war years compared:
New-York tribune., 1922-01-22
December an Active Month


Especially encouraging are the re-
turns for the later months Of 1921
December permits are 1884 in num-
Der and Sal ,2l5,220 in estimated valu-
alton. AS against 81 ABB in number and
S76.493,534 in estimated valuation for
last year. This is a welngh 100 per
cent gain over December of last year,
whereas the whole years gain is only
IL per cent.
October statistics broke all tradf-
tions for a month which normally
shows decided falling off in permits
The 1914 cities reporting for ths. month
gave total valuation OF STA $50 1896
for 52.354 permits. November statis-
tics from 204 cities gave a total of A.
1926 permits, valued at sl4S.593, ,5S6.
Building figures for greater New
York show that builders have been
busy here. The building industry was
functioning stronger at the close Of
the year than during previous months,
which gives grounds for optimism for
assuming that this will be great
building year, perhaps the period
which will mark serious effort to
produce housings for the masses rather
than the classes.
The statistics for the five boroughs
are as follows:

he has not conceded this territory to

English Architects May

Each Year to Designer of
I,0ndOn's Best Building

The plan of the American League Of
Architects and the Fifth Avenue Asso-
citation to reward architectural merit
each year is to be followed by the Brit
ish Association Of Architects Accord
ing to news received from London, the
Royal Institute OF British Arch tects
has before it proposal to award an
nually medal to the architect of the
best building erected in London during
the year.
The plan is that the medal will be
given to different classes Of building
in turn. One year the medal may be
given to the best public builing, the
next year to the best shop, and 50 on.
This scheme, if adopted, is expected to
stimulate public interest in modern
architecture and historic interest as
being what were considered the best
buildings of particular period.
