Operations, but Indicates
Fine Prospects.

With the arrival Of the new year,
building conditions throughout the
United states were epitomiZed by s.
W. Stfaus & Co, on the basis of
building permit records, as follows:
% An approximate shrinkage Of
800 100000 from the 1926 volume and
of $1,000, 100000 from 1925.
go Generally stabilized conditions
with well balanced supply and de-
mand.
go A tranquil labor situation with
average employment I'm the building
crafts about IL per cent below the
levels of one year ago.
(1 A decline in building material
prices from to 10 per cent and an
increase Of slightly less than one per
cent in labor.
go Somewhat lower building costs
as the result of greatly increased
labor efficiency. combined with
smaller profits and a reduced over
head by contractors.

1T is 10 be remembered that the

which was merely the tuyn to normal.
Apparently we have now yeached a
place where supply and demand are

We find tranquility in the labor
