Analysis Traces Course
Of Prices

Costs of building materials in re-
cent years have steadily remained
higher than prices of other com.
modities, according to an analysis
in the annual report of the Federal
Home Loan Bank Boar0 for the
fiscal year 1910, to be published
later this year. The analysis traces
the course of material prices during
the period of depression and re-
covery.
I'm the last few years the de-
mand for homes was supported by
a continuous decrease in financing
costs, which, together with the
smaller down payments and longer
amortized periods, made homes
available at easier terms than at
any other time in our history" the
report will say.
In contrast, building costs have
failed to show any appreciable re-
duction. On the downgrade of the
business cycle, from 1929 to 1893,
prices of building materials fell less
than prices Of most other commodi-
ties. Nevertheless, when prices gen.
orally turned upward after 1888,
building materials rose more rap
idly in price than other commodi-
ties. From 1885 to 1899 the index
OF building material prices fluc-
tuated between 85 and 95 per cent
of the 1926 level, about 10 points
above the general wholesale price
index. After the war began prices
again showed rapid increase from
this high level. The index of build
ing material prices rose from 1877 in
July, 1889, to 900 in September, $50

Although the war-created scram-
BILE for commodities had come to
a halt as early as November, 1899,
prices for many building materials
remained on a high level and in
June, 1910, the index compiled by
the Department of Labor still stood
at 92.4, or % points above the index
for June, 1899. The price rise of
some building materials-such as
lumber, lime and crushed stone
was even much more marked than
the average. On the other hand,
prices for window glass fell from
$6.33, per unit selected in october,
1899, to $4.78 in June. 1910"
The Federal Home Loan Bank
Boards cost index for materials in
standard house increased from
1925 in June, 1889, to 1044 in June,
1910. Labor costs moved downward
from 111.3 to 1897, but they were
still about 10 per cent above the
average of 1886. The index of total
costs last June was slightly higher
than in June. 1899, and 6.2 per cent
above the level of 1896.
Despite some experiments with
chronological improvements - new
materials and large-scale produc-
tion," the report will say, "a real
cost reduction which would bring
new homes within the reach of
families of average income has not
yet materianzed. Thus far the ap-
proach to the mass market for new
homes-commendable in itself-was
mainly through smaller size, fewer
rooms and simpler design. In some
cases cost reductions were accom-
plished at the expense of sound
building standards-a false economy
for which the home owner has to
pay in the form of higher expenses
for operation, maintenance and re-
pair"
