W YORK, November 4.—When 5o much that is pessimistic in regard to industrial conditions is coming over from Great Britain, it may be worth while to take cognizance of the facts about one industry which is said to be flourishing—that is the building industry, according to information re- celved by Bankers' Trust Co. The building industry in Great Britain is experiencing a prosperous year, not only in the metropolis, but throughout the country, with the possible excep- tion of the shipbullding areas and ce tain parts of the coal fields, Although buflding _costs remain high, the latest report of the inter- departmental committee, appointed by the ministry of health, after a survey of prices of building materials, shows that there have been no spasmodic changes in prices in building materi- als since 1924. Some materials have increased a little in cost, but others have decreased in price, and, on the | whole, it has been possible during the past 12 months to assure prospective bullding owners that final costs would not be much in excess of the original estimates. Price Levels High. The price level, however, is too high to enable economic housing schemes to be undertaken for the accommods tion of the poorer classes, and with Government assistance, some 330,000 houses uited to the working have been erected in recent and contracts have been made 5,000 more houses, while a furthe 73,000 have heen authorized. Many houses of a comparatively small typ under £25 a vear taxable value, have been bullt without any subsidy at all from the taxpayer during the past two vears - In fact, since the beginning of 1923 no fewer than 160,000 houses ha been built in England and Wales by unaided private enterprises. Many small builders have been making sub- stantial profit out of building houses for sale, and some have not troubled even to claim a subsidy, as they did not wish to be annoyed with offictal forms and limitations. Sweeping Changes in London. Bullding in London has been of a very improved character, due to the fact that within the last few vears leases have been expiring, and this has made it possible for the owners of the |1and to make new leases, and in con | nection therewith to nfre an im- proved form of building construction This is said to be particularly true of the great shopping streets—Regent Piceadilly and Oxford—where new co: struction has almost entirely changed the former app nce of the streets This reconstruction has brought about a revolution in building and has led 1o the use of steel in many ways. | It has also caused the British archi tects and builders to adopt many of which have for United States. In connection with house building many interesting ex periments are being made. A num ber of houses are being built of steel plates WASHINGTON, D. some | on Iight steel frames, and in- | C., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1925. FINE BUSINESS SEEN WELL INTO 1326 Steel Trade Barometer Shows High Levels Are Likely to Continue. BY J. C. ROYLE. Special Dispatch to The Sta | NEW YORK, November 4.—The | position of steel, the most widely con- ! sulted barometer of American busi- indicates today that general tivity will be maintained at a record-breaking level well into 1926. Steel production in the Pittsburgh | district, which has averaged around | 80 per cent of capacity, has been in- creased this week. The Carnegle Steel Co. has topped 77 per cent; Jones.& Laughlin, leading independents, are running at 85. Pro- duction of sheet mills in that district | 1s approaching 85 per cent, tin plate mills are operating at 50 to 85 and wire and pipe plants are well above the 70 per cent mark. Steel Prices Steady.

CHEAP RUSSIAN GRAIN DEMORALIZES MARKETS BUCHAREST, November 4 (#).— The Rumanian graln export market is in a demoralized state, and grain deal- ers say that this is due to the per- sistence of Russian grain offers in the European markets at low prices It is stated that the shipment of barley from Russian ports t week exceeded 100,000 tons. With Winter about to close the Danube River for shipping, Rumanian exporters are abandoning hope for any improvement in the grain export situ ation this year. |CRUDE 0IL OUTPUT N'Y Tel co'p kel Plate n ‘wi kel PI'n ol wi iaer Corp A izor Corp B o, Power Ont’LL & P States Pow A o Tract pf. .. 0% 2 omaibus Cor'vie 133 e P& T ptd 104 1 13 ERils, Elee ¥ MO 883 1g Pitt e Erie 1607, 1h Power Corp N' ¥ 71 ° 1 Pratt & Lamb C 54 1 Prophyiac Brush 4 1Png So P &L . & 1 Purity” Bakc 1 Punty Bak B 307 s Repub R & L pt s % Repetti Candy.. 5 63 Reo Mot ....

WASHINGTON STATE HAS LEAD IN LUMBER TRADE For the first time in the history of the lumber industry the Federal Gov- ernment has compiled statistics show- ing the distribution and consumption, jas well as the production, of lumber. These figures were worked out by the Department of Agriculture. Washington led in supplying lum- ber to other States. Other leading States in this respect included Louis- lana, Oregon, Mississippi, Alabama and Arkansas. Those States which in 1923 consumed more than 1,000,000,000 board feet of lumber included Cali- fornia, Illinois, New York, Pennsylva- nia, Michigan, Ohlo, Washingto Texas and Indiana, of which only Washington and Texas nroduced as much lumber as they consumed.

Within the last week most of the potato markets in the United States have shown a jump of as much as $1.75 a hundredweight in some cases.
