BUILDING OUTLOOK
HELD FAVORABLE.
Restricting Effects of Higher
Construction Expenses Be-,
Iieved Exaggerated.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. August 25.-Recent
building statistics indicate that undue
concern is being felt over the restrict
ing effects OF higher construction costs
on building activity, according to an
analysis Of the situation by the Stan
dard Statistics Co. Construction con-
tracts for July expanded contra-sea-
sonally and were the largest for any
month since April, 1881. While these,
Of course, included many types Of con-
tracts which are not influenced i'm
portantly by cost fluctuations, 1t Is
encouraging to note that the propor-
ton of total allotments financed by
non-governmental funds increased to
over 43 per cent In July, from Jess
than Al per cent In June.
Residential and non-residential
commitments expanded sufficiently in
July to offset a decline OF l9 per
cent in combined public works and
utility contracts and lift the total
value of awards for the month some 9
per cent above July, 1886 Although
the year-to-year gain of l3 per cent
in residential undertakings in July was
less than that of previous months, this
reflected largely the marked CONTRA
seasonal gain year ago.
AS residential awards last year con-
tinued upward to a peak in August,
against the seasonal trend, it would
not be surprising if contracts for the
current month were moderately below
the year earlier level However, with
the supply demand relationship favor
able and construction costs now tend
ing to level off, awards for the re-
mainder of 1897 should make a better
than-seasonal comparison with earlier
months this year.
The outlook for the non-residential
| division is also promising, although
it is hardly likely that the gain in COM
| ing months will maintain the rate of
July, when awards were A. per cent
higher than a year before.

took deep breath. He thumped
down the three flights of stairs. His
car was waiting. He got into it and
directed his chauffeur to take him
home. Vaguely he was disturbed at
the failure of his mission. He wasn't
used to failure. It CALLED him.
Abruptly he frightened. There was
a way of saving his pride. He had said
nothing to the girl that would indi-
cate his true purpose. He would call
Ray into his study and bless the mar
riage. He would tell them to 60 ahead
1t would be good for the boy. And he
wasn't SO sure. but what everything
would turn out fine.
TITUS was satisfied with himself
when he reached the house
The faint, disturbed condition Of his
mind was entirely vanished. He
was still master of the situation.
He was not yet ready to allow Ray
to make his own decisions, and by
blessing this marriage he would dis
pei any possibility Of the boy doing so.
He left his hat and stick in the
hall and went into his study. He tug
ged at the bell rope near the door.
He would summon Ray at once and
let the boy know his decision. A warm
sense Of magnanimity flowed through
his body. He sat down at his desk.
His eyes focused on an envelope prop
ped up against his ink stand.
He slit the seal absertly and read
the brief message. He read it through
a second time before It's significance
dawned on him.
Dear Dad: Our talk Of yesterday
convinced me that you will never
give me the opportunity of saying the
things I have been wanting to say for
months. Therefore, I will have to
resort to this method. 1t is high time
that you resign yourself to the fact
that I am a grown man and quite
capable of making my own decisions.
I tried to tell you yesterday that
Annette and have been married for
three months Tomorrow we are
leaving for Chicago, where I have
secured a position. Whether or not
I succeed Is my own responsibility
and Annette's. I'm sorry you won't
have the chance to meet and know
her, buff you will forgive my saying
so-it Is better because OF your pig
headedness-"
Titus face Redeemed. then whiten-
ed, then became normal.
After q long time he decided thai
at all costs he must keep it normal
II he were to maintain his dignity
which was what counted most.

Titus raised his gloved hand and

his other gloved hand atop his gold
headed cane and stood very erect. This,
he thought, would probably be his last

Titus was proud of the discourse
he had delivered. Ray had never said
a word; had gone out. Titus was sat-

that his will would not be overruled
