NEW ‘YORK, February 8.—The cotton market opened steady today at unchanged prices to an advance of 3 points, in response to the steady showing of Liverpool, and sold 5 to 7 points net higher in the early trading on a renewal of covering or buying for trade account. Houses with Liverpool connections were buyers of May here, and small buying orders also were said to be in the market for other foreign trade interests, but general business was quiet. The advance to $14.05 for May contracts seemed to bring out a little more realizing, causing reactions of 3 or 4 points from the best, but the tone was steady at the end of the first hour. Private cables said hedge selling had been absorbed by trade calling in Liverpool, and that there was a good inquiry from India for a wide range of cotton goods, with the outlook for China business better. .

Increasing numbers are shaking their heads solemnly and warning against the danger of overbuilding. The lending companies—at least the more prudent ones—are beginning to pull in their horns. Unquestionably, recent construction has been abnormally rapid, and now that the war-time shortages have been made up the rate of building may gradually decline. Already there has been a moderate check in the building of actual bulldings, in con- tradistinction to other types of con- struction_activities. And yet some of the men closest to the real estate situation assert that the problem has ceased to be one of physical shortage. The _optimistic builders assert that they will continue to erect new, modern and superior buildings, which will be filled, and that, If there is a surplus of space, the older and more obsolete buildings will suffer. The curve of real estate does not move uninterruptedly upward, but, apart from temporary readjustments, the growth of the country and the increase in population are perpetually working in favor of well selected real estate. Book Outstanding Bull. J. B. Book, jr. of Detroit is one of the outstanding real estate bulls. This wiry and dynamic man of thirty-six, who recently announced plans for an 8-story office building, belleves that real estate is the back- bone of all values and that in the future well selected real estate will be even more profitable than in the past. Mr. Book and his two younger brothers inherited one of the largest tamily fortunes in Michigan, and can afford to walt for long-term results. The speculative builder or holder who depends on turnovers is in a. less happy position when intermediate re- actions_occur. Mr. Book has brown eyes, dark hair and a brown stubby mustache. He talks directly and candidly. He has great faith In the future of Detroit and thus far has seen his visions real- ized. He now says that in the future the growth of the city will gain in- creasing momentum until it becomes C., TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1927. the second city of the country. It s now the fourth. Let Chicago and « Philadelphia beware! Traffic congestion is the great mod- ern problem of cities, and it is becom- ing increasingly acute. ‘Would Build Taller Buildings. Paradoxically enough, Mr. Book be- lieves that the way to relieve conges- tion is to erect taller buildings in the heart of cities. The conventional view is that skyscrapers cause congestion. Mr. Book maintains that they relieve it. His theory is based on the assump- tion that if you build structures high enough a substantial fraction of the city’s business will be transacted under one roof—that traffic will be come vertical instead of horizontal. The analogy works out in banks. A large part of the banking busi- ness of a city does not go through the clearing house, because checks are drawn by one depositor of a bank in favor of another depositor in the same bank. According to Mr. Book's notion, the elevators in the 80-story Book Tower Building, on which work will start in three or four months, will get a substantial amount of the traffic that would otherwise go through the streets, thus saving time. Mr. Book in this new building will further at- tempt to solve the traffic problem by enabling tenants and visitors to check their automobiles at the entrance. The cars will be stored in 24 stories of space in the center of the building. Washington Boulevard Growth. At the ago of 25 Mr. Book visualized Washington Boulevard, which was then a declasse residential section con- sisting of cheap boarding houses, as the foremost business thoroughfare of Detroit. (It now—I1 years later— makes claim to that distinction. While continuing this development Mr. Book is launching another development— a residential one—in the Old Belle Isle section, where he ultimately ex- pects to erect 15,000 rooms. Mr. Book inherited timber, ore and urban real estate from his maternal grandfather, and a share in an equally large estate from his father. His father died before the son— the eldest of three—was 26. When young Book first revealed his plans he was generally criticized as wild-eyed and radical. So far he has made good, and he expects to become the largest real es- tate operator in the country. He is an interesting individual, who worth watching. $1,800 PER FRONT FOOT. Fifty-foot Strip of Ground in Chi- cago Sells for $90,000. CHICAGO, February 8 (#).—Ninety thousand dollars has been paid here for a 50-foot strip of land as a site for a modest bungalow. Benjamin Weil, an official of a plumbing and heating supply company, paid the price, at the rate of $1,800 a front foot, for a lot on Upper Sheridan road, adjoining his residence. He wanted to protect his home from a tall apartment building announced for the plot. He said he would erect a small bungalow for a member of his family. I. M. M. INCOME LOWER.
