to 1856, TAG, 900 kilowatt hours, or 1.e
per cent under the total for the pre-
vious period, drop slightly larger than
ordinarily expected at this time. Auto
mobile production, contrary to the nor
NAL seasonal trend, was off slightly in
| the same week. Average daily crude
output in the United States during the
seven days including January 81 again
responded to the efforts of producers to
pinch petroleum production and de-
creased 24,650 barrels to 2,085 $50 per
| day. On the basis of contract-award
| figures made public by F. w. Dodge
Corp, residential building in the metro
politan area for the first month of the
! year showed an increase of 10 per cent
over the similar period of 1880. This
/ branch of construction has been most
| severely affected, and in view of a re-
Guction in the total amount of new con-
! tracts awarded in January the outlook
fer residence building appears more
! promising.
