Building Influence
Great on Business

The influence exerted by the
building industry on general bust
ness is of growing Importance. Ac-
cording to competent authorities in
the steel industry, building and
construction during the year 1927
replaced railroading as the largest
line of steel consumption.
In 1925 building and construc-
ton were assigned 1914 per cent of
the total steel output while the
proportion rose to % per cent for
1927. While the total steel assigned
to building and construction was
thus rising to new high levels, the
volume assigned to railroading
dropped from 231a per cent in 1925
to 10 per cent in 1927. The auto
motive industry dropped from 141a
per cent to IA per cent. Agriculture
accounted for per cent in 1926
and ~ per cent in 1927.
Thus it is obvious that the build.
ing industry now leads all others
in the influence exerted on activities
within the steel industry.
