A diminishing shortage of buildings,
with an increasing number of cities
reporting overbuilding; stabilized resi-.
dental rents in all except the largest
and smallest cities, and flNctuation in
the rentals of business property, wide
ly scattered centers of real estate &C.
tivity, characterize the present real
estate market as 1t is analysed in the
semi-snnual survey just completed by
the National Association of Real Els
tate Boards from data supplied by
real estate boards in 1871 cities.
On the whole, considerable degree
of activity is reflected in these re-
ports. although 1t Is not SO spectaeu-
las. as In the year 1928, and as it was
in certain sections OF the country in
the years 1924 and 1925.
The situation as Indicated by these
reports is supported by data collected
independently by the National Asso-
citation of Real Estate Boards from
the offices of county recorders, mem
hers of the American Title Associa-
ton and Real Estate Board Secre-
taries. giving he-number of transfers
and conveyances recorded from month
to month The index for May was
1913 and has continued high through
out the year. The index figure of 163
means that the average number OF
transfers and conveyances recorded
in the cities studied during the month
was So per cent greater than the
average number recorded during the
same month in the period 1916-1923,
which is the period whose record is
taken as the norm of the associations
calculations.
Preliminary reports indicate q hts..-
index for June. The index for the
various months of 1926 was as fol
lows: January. 1874: February, 1856;
March, III: April, 49, May, 1853. For
the corresponding months of 1925 the
index was: January, Ill; February,
173; March, 1858; April, 176; May, l6S.
Forty-two per cent of all boards re-
porting indicate that the market is
less active than it was at this time
last year. Twenty-eight per cent re-
ported the same degree OF activity
and 80 per cent indicate a greater de-
gree of activity. Half of the cities re-
porting from the Southeastern secr
,ion. which includes the States of
Georgia. Florida. Alabama and Mis-
sissippi, indicate a falling off of the
market. More than half of the cities
in the Pacific coast States and all
cities in Canada report a more active
market.

cities under 25 900 and by % per cent
of the cities between 100000 and 500,-
GOO Sixty-seyen per cent of the cities
over 500 900 indicate that the market
has fallen off since last year.
There is little change in the reports
regarding residential rents. Eleven
per cent of all the cities reporting in
dictate that residential rents are in
creasing. Sixty-five per cent indicate
stationary rents and "a per cent re-
port the tendency down. The figures
for June, 1925, were / per cent up;
stationary, 20 per cent: down, 10 per
cent. Again. as in December. 1925,
no city over 200, 900 population reports
that rents are increasing in any type
of residential property, but % per
cent of the reports from district
boards indicate increase in residential
rents. Fifty-seven per cent of the re-
ports from cities in Canada also indi-
cate increasing rents, as well as 40
per cent of the reports from the South
central section The highest percent
age of reports of decreasing residen-
tial rents comes from the North CEN
trail section.
Forty-two per cent of all the reports
indicate that the rents of central bust
ness property have increased, and 80
per cent indicate a tendency for rents
of outlying business property to climb.
Twenty-one per cent indicate higher
rents for centrally located offices and
10 per cent for Office space in outly-
ing districts.
The number of cities reporting over
building of different types of struc.
ture has increased, as compared with
the total reported. Seventy:four cities
report overbuilding in some type of
building: SO cities report overbuilding
of single family dwellings,: AZ cities
report overbuilding of apartments; SO
cities report overbuilding of business
buildings, and cities report over
building of all types.
The fact that the building program
has caught mp with demand Is further
indicated by the percentage bf cities
reporting shortage on various types
of structure. Only IL per cent of the
reports indicate a shortage of single
family dwellings,, / 5 per cent short
age of apartments and II per cent a
shortage of business structures. In
December, 1925. these figures stood at
36. 3s and 81 respectively Obviously

BABSON PARK, Mass. July "a
There are various kinds of monopoieS,
some are purely artificial, relying upon
legal documents: others are brought
about through the consolidation of
large plants: others depend on good
will and advertising. Many investors
believe that the most stable monopolies
are those like the telephone. which are
most efficiently opera ted by one com
pany and where the public benefits
most by having only one company.
The objection to such monopoles is
that the rates of such service are de-
termined by public commissions, and
these at times become radically in
clined, especially when the product or
service is used by the masses
A study of monopolies shows that
the most truly satisfactory TO inves-
tors in the long run are those not de-
pendent on public franchises. but
hose requiring tremendously large
plants for economical production. The
Ford Motor Go. IS probably the most
outsta nding eXa mple of such a mo-
nopoly, and it's great success is due to
this fact. Next in order would come
the United States Steel Corporation.
1t is said that a new company would
be obliged to spend several hundred
million before it could produce one
single steel rail at as low q price as
| the Steel Corporation can produce
rails. Hence, the steel industry is one
of the 'clearest examples of a monopoly
where a tremendously large unit is
required for economically carrying on

tion has the largest unit of its Kind in
the world.
Relation of Steel to Auto.

Steel Corporation he, of course had
no more thought of automobiles than
did John ID. Rockefeller when he or

automobile has been of tremendous
benefit to steel compa MES as well as

ditions, however, shows that the steel

ent time, steel has been used only to
