There is a marked change in the

For the first time since the end Of
February, 1927. there are definite
signs of 4 revival in building activi-
ties throughout the United States.
Reports made to S. w. straus &
Co. from SIT cities in the AZ States
revealed an increase Of per cent in
building permits issued In January
compared with the same month last
year. In February. 1927, these
cities gained 5 per cent over Febur-
ary. 1926. but since that time they
have maintained a consistent down
ward trend. It is to be noted that
last January the loss from the COR
year was IL per cent.
While the records of one month do
not, Of course, festablish definite
trend. there is significance in the
fact that the gains are general
throughout the. country. Although
there were losses of some magnitude
in few cities such as New York,
Detroit, Newark. Milwaukee. Louis
Vile and Pittsburgh. there were al
most universal gains throughout the
rank and file OF the cities of the
country. In view OF the fact that
actual building operations heve beeD
