The index {s computed from official figures of the total number of real estate transfers and conveyances recorded in 41 typical cities. The {ndex for February of the pres- ent year is 12 points higher than that of February, 1926, and two points higher than the peak month of 1924, & year remarkable both in real estate interest and building construction. ‘Trend in real estate activity as in- dicated by transfers and conveyances will be watched with especial interest {in conjunction with statistice in the | bullding industry. February totals in construction contracts showed a drop {of 15 per cent from the January (record, but nevertheless reached the | highest mark of any February on | record, according to F. W.

Statistics gathered by 8. W.
