The demand, at the present
time, for building trades mechanics
continues very good with a shortage
OF first class finishing carpenters.
The call for painters is increasing

common laborers is far beyond the
supply; bricklayers are not so much
in demand due to the fact that
the supply of brick is very short
and Is reaching that stage where
1t will seriously delay the building

There is a surplus OF clerical
workers due largely to the con.
tinued reduction of forces in the
various Government departments
and the large influx Of those from

here"
Marked fluctuations are noted,
however, as the result of the rail
