deflation of values in building ma
terials and in wages has made the
valuation of building permits mean
perceptibly more actual construction
volume than has been the case since
the war.
Numerically the permits in these
cities for this January are almost
three times the valuation of last year
Expressed in percentage the valuation
this year is ITO per cent gain over
last year In just two months of 1921
duly and October) did the valuation
exceed the record breaking January of
1922, and yet the sum total of permits
for the entire year 1921 broke all
yearly records in the comparison.
There are thlrty-one cities in the
United States whose January valua-
tions have gone over the one-million-
dollar mark in one or more Januarys
of the past three years. The tabula-
ton of these cities shows that only
seven failed to cross the mark for Jan
uary. 1922. In 1921 nineteen failed to
reach the million mark, and in 1920
ten failed. Considering these thirty
one cities an approximate gain of $50
per cent over 1921 is shown for the
first month of this year"

LUMBER MARKET
SHOWS DECLINE
Potential Demand, However,
Exists and Prosperous
~ Year Is Seen.

Buying of lumber has slackened
since February and the demand for
this building material today Is not
what was expected, according to A. r.
kriechbaum. vice president of a ma
tional lumber trade journal.
Mr. kriechbaum states that there
still exists potential demand for
lumber of all kinds and that there
are practically no weak spots in the
market, as far as price is concerned.
The principal demand just now is for
tir, mostly large timbers, and pine
roofers. Buying of hardwoods' con-
tinues fairly active. he says. and
prices of u Few of the upper grades
are advancing slightly. The market,
as a whole, is stationary, but firm, to-
day.
Water Shipments Increase.
Water shipments from the Pacific
coast and south to the Atlantic sea-
board continue to increase in vol
ume and there is every indication
this movement will not slacken,"
Mr.. kriechbaum asserts. "Sawmills
throughout the country are resuming
operation, wage scales have been ad-
Justed and the situation as a whole
hands of retailers are not large for
this period OF the year and buying
will doubtless be rather brisk within
another thirty days. There is hardly
any question that wholesale prices
viii be on u higher level than they
are today ;.s soon as buying becomes
more general. but competition will be
keen and prices will not rise any
where near the peak of two years
ago.
american lumber producers will
find keener competition from their
ing to go after business in the United
States stronger than ever before.
This is particularly true of Canadian
hardwood producers, who are already
selling quite a volume of hardwood
lumber to the Industrial consumers in
New York and New England.
Source Of Export Demand.
THE principal export demand this
gear will very likely originate in
South America and Mexico. inquiries
from certain South American repub-
lies have been rather numerous dur
ing the past several weeks, and some
large orders for both Pacific coast
woods and southern pine will doubt
less be awarded within the coming
month.
LAS far as domestic woods are con-
cerned. the principal demand since
the first of the year has been in the
north Atlantic coast states. and New
York has been good customer. Sew
eral very large operators have re-
Gently established sales offices in New
York, anticipating good business IN
this territory this spring and sum-
mer. This business will begin to ma
terialize, to all indications. before the
month of March is half over. and will
continue in growing volume through
out the spring and summer. On the
whole the outlook for the lumber in
dustry this year is very encouraging"

and contemplated activity kept uI
ana even increased in volume dur
ing the late months of 1921 that 1925
would be ushered in with a good

Before real figures are considered
IT will pay to look at the expecta
tlonS upon which the figures are
based. Without going into unneces-
sary detail. it may be said that the
labor situation is: on the whole
favorable. There is a big gain in
efficiency brought about by the same
economic conditions which have
forced wage scales down to much
lower average levels than they were
at the beginning Of 1921. Material
hatIon during 1921 and therefore the
cost of construction is much less
nrnhibitive than at any time since
the war.
More than that. there is coming
about national realization that bust
ness and industry must build upon a
firm basis at home to make us the
better able to stand the shock of for
eign debacle if such should come. The
bottom of slump days has been passed
and the construction industry Is going
to be potent factor in putting indus
try on its feet.
Returns for 1914 cities officially re-
ported to the American Contractor
show a valuation of s13s T992S0 for
30.392 permits. This is 1.5 per cent
gain over the s61 592.92i valuation for
the first month of 1921.
Big Gain In Permits.
Stil' more calculating to the one
who desires very exact and farther
reaching comparison is the showing
for building permits in twenty impor-
tant cities from 1914-1922.
Consider first OF all that the per-
mits for these twenty cities for Janu-
airy of this year total to sl0o, o,037,-

TALKS ON TITLES
TO '. NJ. c. A. CLASS
James J. Becker Lectures Be-
fore Students in Real Es-
tate Course.

Technical phases of realty titles
were explained to members of the Y
81. c. A. real estate class this week by
James J. Becker, local title company
president
The transfer'an acquisition of title
to land. MIR Becker said. is governed
by the law of the place where the
land is situated. In the District of
Columbia no estate of inheritance, for
life Or for a longer term than one
year in any real property can be Gre
ated except by deed. signed and sealed
by the Grantor. or by will.
Under no circumstances can a decd
transferring title to real estate be
executed or acknowledged by an at
torney, 1t was stated In order to be
the owner. In this respect the law is
different in the District than in many
states.
1t was pointed out that a deed must
he made to some certain person or
corporation named who can take by
force of the deed and hold title in his
own or it's own right. or as trustee.
obviously an executed deed without
the grantees name is void; SO also a
deed to fictitious person or corpora
tion which has no existence. In in
stances where the purchaser is 4 part
nership the deed must run to the in
dividual partners and should state
that the individuals named are CO.
partners trading under a given name.
The actual acknowledgment of
deeds is of vital Importance to pur-
chasers," Mr.. Becker said, for the
reason that unless this acknowledge
ment and all of the legal require
mcnts in connection herewith are
complied with the deed. even though
it be actually recorded, will not be
noticed to subsequent purchasers and
creditors of the grantor. and in con-
sequence might deprive the purchaser
Of his estate Each state prescribes
by statute the form to be observed in
taking and certifying the acknowl-
edgment of deeds situated within its
limits and designates an officer who
is competent to take such acknowl-
ciements. For this reason it is vi
tally important that when deeds are
sent out of jurisdiction for execu-
tion that great care be exercised in
complying exactly with the laws of
the jurisdiction in which the land is
located in order to insure a valid
deed"
AT the next meeting of this class
the subject of Subdivision Develop
