UNIFORM APPRAISAL
SYSTEM is ADOPTED
California Realty Boards Sign
Agreement After State
wide Survey.

A standard system of appraiSals to
be used by all real estate boards in the
district has just been adopted by the
fourteenth district of the California
Real Estate Association. Five constit-
uent boards of the National Associa-
ton of Real Estate Boards took part
in drafting the common plan. They
are the Riverside Realty Board, the
Redlands Realty Board. the Pomona
Valley Realty Board, the Ontario Re-
atty Board and the Glendale Realty
Board.
The agreement to adopt a uniform
method for all estimates of valuation
of real estate to be made by a real
estate board appraising committee
follows a Statewide survey Of ap~
praisal methods which has just been
made by the California state associa-
ton looking toward the probable
adoption of a uniform system for all
real estate organizations in the State.
Conformity to a standard system in
the making of authoritative board ap-
praisals will not only make these ap-
praisals more valuable in all business
situations involving estimates in diff
ferent cities, but will also strengthen
the value of such estimations in their
growing use as unbiased and authori-
tative professional evidence In court
cases and in income tax cases, the
State association points out.
The total amount of appraisalS made
by real estate boards of the California
association during the past year was
nearly 500 000. 900

BUTTER TREND
Is UNSETTLED
AND NERVOUS
Sentiment Varies Widely =
Difficult to Determine
the Future Trend

Chicago, Feb. 6.--0P)-. Considers
bic firmncss was noted on all butter
markets early in the week. and al
though supplies were somewhat linn
tied, demand Vwas fairly active. and
the markets, on the whole, appeared
quite steady.
Because Of the rather sharp fluc-
tuations during the latter part Of
January the markets vert already
sensitive and traders were generally
uncertain as to what the major
trend would be, but appeared to fav-
or lower prices.
Receivers, under existing condi-
tions, were anxious to keep goods
moving and slight accumulations
were viewed with concern to the
point of anticipating the following
days markets in order to interest
buyers.
The change from the firm position
Of last week to the easier nervous
condition which prevails at the mo-
mcnt further unsettled the minds Of
the operators as to future needs.
At the close Of the week all markets
appeared very nervous and unsettled,
with sentiment ut such a wide. var
lance that it is difficult to arrive at
any definite idea Of the future trend.
