BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 16.-There was
improvement in the demand for struc'
tural steel during the week, while
actual awards made were said to have
compared favorably with any week
since last March. when the business
was keen. Buying interest on the
part of the railroads remained fair
and there was reported to be some
good contracts pending. Otherwise
the market presented quiet appear.
ance and mill production was curtalled
in some sections by the continuation
of the excessive heat. Generally prices
showed little change. Despite an easier
trend to pig iron prices, business fail
ed to improve.
A better tone has been noted in the
copper market since the publication or
the June statistics. The decrease in
stocks of refined was slightly larger
than anticipated. and with the de-
crease in the output of primary cop
per evidently made an impression on
sentiment. Buyers who had been
holding off previously came into the
market for their more Immediate re-
quirements at least and more business
has been reported for both export and
domestic consumption. Sales have
been made at 1880 delivered at Con-
necticut Valley points with the market
reported firm at that figure.
Tin prices were steadier toward the
close of the week. The flrmness of
the spot position and the advancing
trend at London. accounted for the
market action. Business was fair.
Lead was active and the principal
producers at the West advanced prices
a trifie. Eastern operators held to
their former level. Recent declines
attracted buyers and fair tonnage
was placed.
Zinc was dull and price movements
irregular. Ore continued to rule firm.
Anthony was quiet and the price
trend remained easy. with the very
small demand bringing out moderate
price concessions.

OWN YOUR OWN HOMES
is ADVICE OF HOOVER

"A family that owns its home takes
a pride in it, maintains it better. gets
more pleasure out of it and has a
more wholesome, healthful and happy
atmosphere in which to bring up chill
dren," says Secretary of Commerce
Hoover.
THE home owner has constructive
aim in life. He works harder outside
his home; he spends his leisure more
profitably, and he and his family live
finer life and enjoy more of the COM
forts and cultivating influences Of our
modern civilization.
"A husband and wife who own their
home are more likely to save. They
have an interest in the advancement
of a social system that permits the in
dividual to store up the fruits of his
labor. AS direct taxpayers, they take
more active part in local govern
ment. Above all, the love of home is
one of the finest instincts and greatest
inspirations of our people"

emphasizing the central importance of
scientific real estate appraisal. Some
339 real estate boards within the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate
Boards now have official appraisal
committees, whose services are avail
able to the public.
Rapid growth within the past seven
years of the real estate mortgage bond
business has been one of the importa nj
factors bringing the necessity of ac-
curate and unbiased appraisals to gen
eral attention. The board of directors
of the association in April Of the pres
ent year drew up certain recommen-
dations for the safeguarding of real es-
tate mortgage bond issues. These rec
concentrations gave first place to the
necessity of safeguarding the appraisal
upon which such bond issue is made.
The board of directors at that time
urged all houses issuing real estate
bonds to employ standart appraisal
certificate of the type then under prep
aration by the association. This
standard appraisal certificate for busi-
ness property was presented to the as
sociation at it's annual convention in
Seattle, Wash, by it's appraisal COM
mittee. 1t has since been placed in the
hands of member real estate boards
for trial and study. 1t will come be-
fore the Houston meeting for final
adoption.

BALTIMORE, December 10.-As.
serting that the present law requiring
real estate brokers to obtain licenses
for every county in which they do
business is unjust" c. Phil Pitt,
secretary of the Real Estate Board
Of Baltimore, declared that an at
tempt would be made to have it
amended at the next Legislature.
Mr.. Pitt said that the board has
no objection to a law requiring a
license for every Office maintained
by broker in the State. The pres
ent law, he said, requires a broker
to pay a license for every county
in which he posts a sign on prop
erty or accepts listing Of property.

SALE PRICE FIXES
VALUE OF REALTY
Security Company Official
Sees Purchase as Best
Basis of Appraisal.

While there are many factors to b.
/ considered in appraising the value o
real estate. the average sale is th'
best evidence of value. William l.
l3eale, head of the real estate depart
+ ment of the American security q
1 Trust Co, said Monday night In
Z lecture on appraisal matters befor'
the Y. NJ. c. A. class in real estate
which is conducted by the Real Estate
Board
The Importance of the average sale
price to the appraiser of property
within certain community. th'
lecturer pointed out. lies in the fac
that such price is controlled by thf
age-old law of supply and demand. Al
appraisal AT market value, he said
was an estimate of the value foi
which certain property would be
sold for cash by an owner not forced
to SELL
Several Factors Enter.
In addition to the average sale price
the speaker said. boom and deprecia
ton factors also must he taken into
consdera ton in appla 50 p.
The proper appratr ot land, Mr.
Beale said. includes ; N3r of the ele
ments of location, Gtt|ii%. size ano
shape of the lot. In regard to the
location and accessibility of plot OF
land. he pointed out that in most
cities the highest valuations are
found in the downtown business dis
tricts and in districts where the great
est congestion Of people is found
while the utility element concerns the
use to which the lot may he put. In
a consideration of the size of the lot
the assembled plottage, depth and
utility of the size for specific pur
poses must be studied, it was
explained.
Zoning regulations, particus'rly 1r
the District of Columbia, the lecturer
said, also enter as an important factor
In an appraisal of n property, mas
much as such regulations affect the
height of buildings, the amount of the
land which can be occupied by build
ings and the types of buildings that
may be erected in certain sections OF
a community.
Map of Property Urged.
In order that a proper valuation Of
a lot may be made, it was suggested
that a map should he prepared show
ing the size of the ground. Ir
arriving at the value of the land it
self. it was added. the value of the
improvements should he carefully
analyzed. Mr.. Beale said that many
experienced appraisers adopt the unit
system of valuation which was recon
mended by the National Association
of Real Estate Boards several years
ago.
In appraising apartments it is
properly arrived at by multiplying the
income received by six, or six and
one-half. Mr.. Beale stressed. however
that regardless of all rules and regula
tions, appraisals are after all matter
of opinion in which'it is hard to prove
whether a person is right or wrong
He stressed the necessity that apprais
ers be honest in their opinions after
careful examination.
In order to properly carry out
appraisal functions he urged that
appraisers keep in touch with devel
opment, the trend of the market
trend of the neighborhood and sales
and all developments which affect the
real estate situation.

BREEDING WILD DUCKS
 FUR CAME SHOOTING

WASHINGTON, March 17. (P)- Not many species of wild ducks lend themselves readily to methods of artificial propagation, but one, the Mallard, can be raised with reason able certainty of success by anna teurs. The propagation of Mallard ducks offers an enticing field, not only to the poultryman as a source of profit and for food, but to the sportesman as a means of increas- ing the wild stock for hunting pur- poses.
 The Federal government licenses some 5000 persons to breed migra- tory game birds in captivity, chiefly Mallard ducks, and reports indicate that something over 10000 ducks are raised year and over half of these are reported as killed and sold or used for food.
