LOCAL REALTORS TO
attend MEETING
Miami to Handle the Mid
winter Convention of
Realty Men.

A considerable number of Washing
ton realtors is expected to attend the
annual Midwinter convention of the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards, which is to take place at
Miami, Fla, in January. During the
coming week a special committee will
be appointed by President Maury to
arrange the tour for the Washington
real estate men who are to attend the
affair.
The board will arrange for special
cars to take them from Washington
to Miami and bring them back. These
cars will be elaborately equipped as
those provided for the regular annual
convention. In addition to visiting
Miami a number of Washington real
estate men have expressed themselves
rs DESTROYS of taking the West Indies
boat tour.
From Walter Greene, secretary of
the Miami board, the following wire
indicates that everything will be in
readiness for the realtors despite the
great trouble recently faced by them:

future completely vanished within II

Miami Realty Board will immediately
proceed with it's plans for the enter

the national association, and we want
YOU to know that the delegates at
tending that meeting will be cared for

amounted to 90 per cent Of the pro
duction, the movement thus showing
a decline that for the season is rather
small. At this time last year the mills
had shipped only 98 per cent Of their
cut to date, whereas this year the
shipments had amounted to 101 per
cent of the cut, so that they are enter
ing the Winter with smaller stocks
than last year, according to the
American Lumberman.
Bad Fall weather prevented the de-
velopment of the expected large farm
demand, so for this reason country re-
tailers have refrained from stocking
up, and by general report their as
sortments are small. City building
has continued in large volume despite
weather handicaps, permits issued in
October being only per cent less
than for October of last year, and
showing a q per cent increase over
those for September this year.
The West Coast mills have been op-
Grating very actively. but business has
slowed down. Already some Of the
large fir operators have reduced their
output, and it Is believed that there
will soon be decided general curtail-
ment. Middle West trade is season
ably tapering off and, while there has
been until recently good retail trade in
the East, cold weather is reducing it.
Wholesalers in the East tend to hold
off buying because of high inter
