SURVEY SAYS FEW
CITIES 0vERBU|[T
Shortage in Residences and
Business Space, However,
Offsets Surplus.
BY ALVIN RESCH,
Associated Press STAFF Writer.

CHICAGO, July IA cross-section
survey of the Nations real estate in
dustry reveals that a few American
cite are overbuilt. despite a realty
market that is barely SO per cent as
active as 1t was year ago.
Some cites, in fact, report a shortage,
in family residences and apartments,
and there are two cities with no over
supply OF business space to every one
that is overbuilt in this respect.
OF 381 cities reporting on realty sales
to the National Association of Real ES-
tate Boards within the last 80 days, 40
per cent say their market is the same
or more active than at this time last
year. Eighteen per cent report better
market, while 81 per cent are expert
encing fewer sales.
Demand Equals Supply.
In u per cent of these cities, which
range from towns under $4,000 to met
ropolitan centers of more than 500, 900,
in all sections of the country, the de-
mand for single family residences al
most equals the supply. Only IL per
cent have an oversupply OF FAMILY
dwellings and II per cent report an ac-
tUal shortage.
In the case Of apartment buildings,
65 per cent have no oversupply, IL per
cent have a shortage, with an oversup-
ply in % per cent. Two-thirds OF the
cities report no extra business space
An unique situation exists IN tne
cities of more than 100000 included IN
the survey. In none of these is there
an oversupply or shortage OF single lam
lily dwellings-demand equals the supply
in each case.
The extent to which the practice OF
doubling up" has affected the housing
situation is shown by the case OF ST.
Louis, where more than 10000 families
are living as extras IN resloentlal
units of all types. OF these, more than
5000 are living with other families IN
homes other than apartments.
Business Rents Firm.
The survey shows that both double
and single family residences nave ex-
perienced sharper rent cuts within the
last year than any other rental units.
while business rents have remained
fairly firm in most cities.
In so per cent of the cities between
200 900 and 100000 population, central
office space rent figures are the same
as those of year ago.
Reductions in rents for both single
and double family residences were re-
ported in nearly 70 per cent of the cit
les, but apartment rent reductions were
listsd by only AZ per cent
From the smaller cities came reports
of lack of capital for real estate f1nanc-
ing. but cities of more than 100000
show capital seeking loans, with some
reporting falling interest rates.
In "A per cent of all the cities, how
ever interest rates are steady. and there
is an even supply and demand OF cap
ital in % per cent

SILVER PRICE DROP
AFFECTS EXPORTS
Commerce Department Gives Data
on Sales of White
Metal Abroad.

BY the Associated Press.
Silver exports of the United States in
1880 totaled S54 157 900, while imports
were valued at s43,761 900.
The excess of exports over imports
for the year, the Commerce Department
announced. was the lowest since 1928,
the Decline resulting chiefly from the
drop in the price of silver to the lowest
levels ever reached.
During the same period gold exports
totaled s115,s67,ooo and imports $685.
O54, 900.
The average annual excess Of silver
exports during the five-year period end
ing with 1880 was s18 ,000 OF the
imports last year about $4,000 900 came
from Mexico, Canada and Peru. About
SAT 100000 of the exports went to China
and British India.
Gold poured into the United States
in 81 of the 81 months ended with
February, 1881" the Commerce De-
partment said During those 81 months
the United States regained $3.50 000,0 900
(net of the 100000 (neD of gold
exported curing the previous IL months.
"One of the important factors in
bringing about the inflow since August,
1928, was the reduction in United
States underwriting of foreign bonds.
which resulted chiefly from the sharp
rise in money rates here in late 1928
and in 1929, as stock market speculation
proceeded.
During 1880 we imported hardly any
gold from Europe; on the contrary, we
exported about $74,000000 to France
and about 100000 to Italy. The heav-
lest import was from Japan. s156,609,-
245, with no offsetting exports to that
| country. We took about $4,000 900
| from Brazil, about S20,oo0,000 each
| from Mexico and Argentina and about
| 100000 each from Colombia and
| Uruguay
Among the more surprising gold
movements of the year were the imports
from Hongkong and China, about SILL
! 100000 from each"
