major commodities Cumber, brick,
cement, steel, copper. paint and glass;,
building has great influence in deter
mining what their prices will do.
But, since building frequently ranks
behind other consumers of these
seven commodities. their prices in most
cases are actually dictated by one or
more of the seven sister industries,
and building becomes the goat
Yet because of the normal time lag,
the effect of a change in the COM
posite index of wholesale prices does
not make itself felt on building costs
for two or three months after the
change.
Therefore, no significant advance
in building costs is anticipated before
October. However, recapitulation of
predictions based on the statistical
