DEMAND FOR BRICK
HAS NOT RESULTED
IN LARGE PROFITS
Industry Reported Hold
ing Prices Down to
Low Level.

The brick industry Is holding
prices down to a fair profit and is
keeping faith with the public. A
glance at the range of prices this
month and last shows that they are,
on the whole, holding steady. de-
spite greatly increased demand
which in some sections Is taxing
the capacity of the plants. increased
prices OF coal in some areas and
scarcity of that commodity, rising
costs of manufacture In the Eastern
States and scattering toward the
Middle West. and marked increase
in prices of some other basic build
ing materials.
The composite price at the yards
reported on January l was sl5.4I
in May $l2.74, on June l, sl2.6S, and
this month Sass. These figures
are not, however. weighted aver
ages and are low because of sharp
competitive figures In some parts Of
the South where manufacturing
costs are also low.
The coal situation is becoming a
real problem and 1t is to be hoped
that the efforts of the administra-
| tlQn TO DrlnR IL 10 an emu VIII Oe
speedily success. There can, unfor-
tunately. be but little doubt that the
situation will be aggravated after
July l by the retail coal dealers
coming into the market under the
reduced freight schedules. Plants
in New England, through Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio and as far west as Kan
sas and Missouri are affected most.
Only one plant is reported definitely
closed for lack of coal. however.
The coal situation, together with
the railroad strike. are unfavorab!s
factors in an otherwise encouraging
situation.
The brick industry is producing
a more nearly normal amount of
brick than for two years past, and
the shipments from the yards were
greater during the month than the
| brick produced: ninety-three firms
shipping a little over s5.0oo.ooo. with
the kilns turning out 100000.
That there is little reserve stock to
draw upon IL indicated by the fact
that orders on books total 25S,0o0,-
900, stock on hand being only 1884,

Predicts Record
Real Estate Sales
McKeever and Goss Report
Weeks Transfers Indicate
Improvement.

In announcing a list OF recent
sales, the firm of McKeever and
Goss predict that this summer Will
be the most active in recent years
in the history of Washington real
estate. The primary reason for
this. according to r. L. McKeever,
head of the firm, Is that prospective
buyers who have been holding of
with the idea of lower prices are
rapidly becoming convinced that
instead of prices going lower there
Is every indication of higher prices.
These higher prices will be caused,
II is believed. by the rising cost OF
both labor and material and the
increasing scarcity and cost Of
| vacant land.
This firm has closed sales in the
last two weeks totaling well over
s36O.OO0. The list of sales as an
| nounced include twenty-five deals.

Labor Shortage.
No wonder there has been COM

compiled by the Federation of Con-
struction Industries from the last
census show that in many of the
trades there was a startlingly large
decrease in the actual number of

cases the decrease amounting to 20
per cent and 1s per cent, respec-
lively; and even in trades showing
