tom. If we allow for the usual
seasonal changes from month to
month, 1t can be said truly that
building in September was only
slightly lower than 1t was In
January.
The conclusion that building
has. been dragging bottom Is
strengthened by the fact that In
terest rates have now been down
long enough to encourage an up
turn in construction. 1t Is now
Just about q year since CONNER
cial paper rates began their sharp

stimulate building. At least, the
force Of low interest rates should
now begin to be felt.
So far, I have been referring
to construction contracts awarded
(measured in square feet Of floor
space). But other measurements
support the conclusion reached.
Building permits in cities and
towns took a distinct upturn in
September. The general trend OF
permits has now been slightly up
ward since last March. They have
been irregular. The figures are
still very low. But gradual i'm.
provement has occurred.
Real Estate Transfers Up
For the first time in a good
many months, too, activity in real
estate transfers showed a less
than seasonal decline. This may
indicate that a turn for the better
in the real estate market Is not
far distant.
AS to the motor industry I am
less certain. Progress is being
made in dispoSing of used cars,
both by sale to new owners and
by secrapping (Ford is breaking

more important than the auto

tering a period Of rising trend.
