Says Lumber Has just Caught Up.

''It has only been in recent months
that the cut of lumber has been able to
catch up with the demand. The record
for the national lumber supply ard de-
mand as of January g. 1922, was 49,
900 900 feet of production, 56,000,000 feet
ordered. and shipments of only $4,000
900 feet shipped. Does this look much
like lowering of prices for 1922?
ain cement every builder must watch
with interest increasing requirements
for cement road construction. The rail-
roads have not since the war done any
roadway renovating. like bridges. cul-
verts and docks, piers. &C., except that
absolutely necessary to be done. There
has been little or no export movement
Of American cement since the war. There
has been little large commercial or in
dustrial construction since the war, yet
the cement companies were taxed almost
to capacity last year at times to meet
the demand from the builders of small
units of construction like homes. Ma
tional cement production will exceed
q, COOK 900 barrels this year, according
to competent authorities. This will
be 100000 barrels above the best
previous records. IL is not necessary to
go into detail to show the prospective
market for this kind OF building mate
rial with the international rate OF ex-
change coming back slowly but surely.
Pound sterling is gradually recovering
it's place In the sun and American indus
try is headed for general recovery.
Upon such promise 1t is not wise TO
wait for prices to come down.
"Down through the entire line of basic
building materials one might go ana In
dicate similar situations. The year 1929
is going TO be prosperous one for the
strategist who has his plans well worked
out in advance.

PREDICTS BUILDING
COSTS WILL BE HIGH
Materials Market Expert Says
Demand Will Exceed Sup
ply This Year.

"Just at the opening Of the 1922 build
ing construction season the small home
builder will find himself in practically
a buyers market as far as basic pulid-
ing materials are concerned said Alien
r. Beals, of the Allen e. Beals Corpora
ton, publishers of the Dow Service
Daily Building Reports, in discussing
the home building outlook for the spring
of 1922 and the plans of the fourth an
nual own Your Home Exposition to be
held in the Sixty-ninth Regiment Ar
mory April 90 to 30. by basic build
ing materials I have reference to those
commodities which usually find place
in the construction of the average type
of habtation building costing between
IS. 900 and $4,000. Visitors to the expo
sItion will probably confine their plans
for construction within these figures.
'"rhe reason why this spring will be
a buyers market is chiefly centered in
the fact that open winter conditions
have so upset building material manu-
facturers' schedules as to make 1t al
most a certainty that the available sup
ply of building material this spring VIII
be very close to demand If not below
It. Building material prices are still
going to be controlled by supply and de-
mand At the present time 1t looks as
though demand was again going to
exceed supply. There are evidences OF
such conditions about us.
Hudson common brick Is going out
this winter faster than manufacturers
dreamed would be the case. Whoever
heard OF demand being created upon
falling market, they argued. They for
got that with a seasonable industry a
falling autumn market is an entirely
different proposition from an economic
point of view, from that OF a falling
spring market. SO great has been the
winter demand for brick that there Is
now barely 140,0Oo,ooo in reserve along
both shores of the Hudson within tow
ing distance of New York. New York
normally consumes about billion brick
a year Does that look much like pre-
war prices with the opening of the brick
making season not due until May and
only four winter brick burning plants
in the district?

A Profitable Trim

II would be necessary to call In q
physician to give aid to one Of the
customers in the board room of one OF

breaking sight Of witnessing dizzy
pyramid of profits which had accumu-
lated during an absence Of nearly two
years.
This unusually lucky individual In
the early part Of 1921 was summoned
hurriedly to Australia to the bedside OF
his parents. 1t was necessary for him
to remain among the kangaroos up un-
