will find ready sale in our market.
In the matter of handling her war

war bonds fluctuated within a mar

for this In that a committee of
Canadian legislators carefully super

market. inspected every application
to buy or sell and permitted only
the buying broker to receive a com
mission. The seller received no
compensation. Possibly Americans
would have chafed under such

Of dollars would have been saved

T.s'ts and consulted with builders
tna real estate men from scores OF
ciuuk. and concludes that by the end
OF the year the country will have
reduced its housing shortage by
about 1,000,00 homes.
New Contracts.
Some very simple figures tell the
story. In twenty-seven Northeastern
States, in which over. two-thirds, of
our people live, the f. w. Dodge
Company reports that contracts for
$4,000. 900 worth. of residential con-
struction were awarded in February.
The figure was the same for Janu-
airy, while December showed a total
of SOL, 900, 0OG. These figures com
pare with a monthly average for the
year 1919 of ST. 100000 and for 1871
of $4,000, 900. The showing Is very
remarkable, as normally December,
January and February are the three
lowest months of the year, and It
especially is encouraging, since the:
late summer ana fall months showed
ing projects started, to be carried
along during the winter seasoL.
Everything points, therefore, to an
active spring building season.
Varies In Cities.
The situation varies greatly be-
tween different cities; of course,
few even having a surplus of homes,
but a number Of places appar. ntly
will build to the limit of their capac-
fly. In view of general business con-
ditions, 1t does not seem likely that
there will be any great general
increase in building material prices
or building trade wages. In fact,
the steady activity during the fall
and winter months indicates that
the demand for now construction is
of a steady, healthy nature, that
probably would slacken in case Of
any marked advances.
Movements in the building INDUS
try during the next few months are
expected to be rather steady.
Floor Space.
Measured in floor space, the aver
age contracts awarded during the
past three months stand well above
the 1921 average and very close to
the high year of 1919. With such a
start, the year 1922 easily could
rank ahead Of any year since the
beginning Of the war.
Residential buildings have account
ed for Al per cent, or nearly half
of all new construction during the
past three months; whereas, during
the years 1919 to 1921 resid entail
construction was only 81 per cent,
or less than one-third of the total.
