Pittsburgh, Pa, Jan. 31.-Build-
ing construction now under way
here, or which will be started this
week, will require the expenditure
Of $14, ,325,0 900 and plans have been
drawn for projects involving ex-
penditure of an additional $6,000,-
600. Wage agreements have been
reached with II of the II unions in
the building trades council and in
dications point to a building re-
vival of liberal proportions. Con
tracts for construction Of the mag
nificent new home of the Mellon
National Bank will open this week.
What changes have occurred in
the steel industry this week have
been in the direction of enlarged
tonnages. Some shading of prices
has been reported in order to Sc
cure desirable orders but this has
been counteracted by evidences of
stability which have encouraged
buyers.
There is little indication OF a
tendency to build up coal reserve
in anticipation of labor trouble at
the mines. Operators in this dis
trict who are paying union scales
and competing with non-union dis
tricts have been unable to average
more than 25 per cent of normal
production.
Retail trade continues of good
volume. Mems clothing sales which
have been a feature here this week
are proving very successful. Deal
ers declare it is impossible to meet
