Shortage of Home Surplus Causes interest
Rates to Reach Higher Levels.

The South has need Of capital to-
day a. never before. The tremen.
dous program Of expansion demands
the steady investment of money IN
large sums In the permanent up-
building Of this vast region. Nor
yet has the South had time to create.
out OF her own activity. sufficient
surplus to meet her needs. The very
nature OF this activity demands the
prompt reinvestment OF profit and
surplus. Thus the earning Of South
ern industry are represented TO a
major extent in new modern struc-
lures and plants.
It 10 evident. even to the casual
reader. that the enormous undevel-
opsd resources of the South will de-
mand for . long time to- come. In
their exploitation, large portion

regions OF the country where indus

The capital which is today financ-
ing the South IL to large extent

West. Southern interest rates are,
on the whole. appreciably higher on
investments of security Identical
with those of the North. This Is re-
fiected IN the legal rates In many
Southern States, which run as high
as per cent.
In Florida. where the legal rate Is
s per cent. 1t Is not unusual for bor-
rowers to pay as high as 10 rer
cent.
In Alabama the rate ranges from
Z per cent to s per cent; in Texas,
from s per cent to 10 per cent; in Ar
kansas. per cent money is plenti-
full; in Kentucky. per cent TO ca
per cent is usual, while in Virginia
money is often obtained at less than
per cent. Until recently, when in

per cent for large sums in almost
any section of the South. and this

Mortgage rates are now averaging

LUMBER PRICES UP
That washington's growth during

That washington's growth during
the last eighteen months has been
consistently on the increase. and
! that the Capital City is now on the
eve Of a period of faster growth,
is the opinion Of many of the city's
real estate dealers.
Evidence of the increase in build
ing of residence structures Is given
at the District Building. where the
record of building permits is kept.
There IL Is revealed that since the
first Of the year thousands of new
residence structures have been con-
stfucted.
AT the present time approximate
lys $40 000. 900 worth of building pro-
jects are either just being begun
or are somewhere along the stage
toward completion Numerous
brilding projects are also under
way. among them many apartment
hohses.
With the opening of fall weather
local real estate men are expectins
anrincrease in the number of real
property sales, which has been the
experience in past years. The
months of September and October
are referred to as selling time" in
the vernacular of the realty pro-
fession. and the total of deals made
dufing this period has a large bear
ing on the figure for the year.
While there has been an average
increase in lumber prices locally of
approximately Is per cent during
the past two or three months,
Washington lumber concerns are of
the opinion that there will be
slight decrease in prices within the
next thirty or sixty days. accord
ing to expressions of opinion of
lumber dealers, approached re-
Gently.
In so far as the District is con-
rcrned. business has been unusually
good. lumber dealers report the
steady development in building of
homes and residences. while lacking
the "boom" features has on the
other hand given every indication
of having behind il the desire to
invest rather than speculate.
In Washington the building bust
ness has been steady and unusually
brisk. Homes and residences have
been building in all sections of the
city. and the demand for lumber
and building materials has been
steadily increasing during the past
several months.
Despite the crippled condition of
the transportation system of the
country. lumbermen say that de-
liveries have been surprisingly
prompt, and they anticipate little
IL any difficulty in supplying the
market for months to come.
