Trading in the wholesale market. dis- triet this week haz not been particularly petive, according to reports of dealers the past few days, while receipts of frujts and vegetables have been heavy. Both fruits and vegetablss have been piled high in front of commission houses the past few days, receipts com- ing from all sections of the countrs. growers in California and the South being the heaviest shippers. There is scarcely any variety of fruits and vegetables to be had at any season that local dealers were unable fo supply this week, and prices of most such commodities, according to Teports, were reasonable {0 cheap. North and South Carolina growers continued to send heavy shipments of vegetables, Texas and Florida growers also contributing fairly heavy quan- tities. Many growers in North Carolina this week sent heavy vegetables over the Ttoad in motor trucks, fairly glutting the market with string beans, prices dropping fo $1 A bushel basket. Watermelon Prices.

Vegetables of every kind and de- scription claimed attention of buyers during the week. The egg and butter markets continued firm throughout the week with little or no change in prices, according to statements of merchants, and very few changes in meat prices were reported. Poultry prices con- tinued high, receipts being nothing like in excess of demands, and marine prod- ucts were more plentiful and cheaper. Retail dealers were on hand during the early morning hours to get first pick of commodities for the week end trade, many purchases being heavy enough to carry dealerr over Sunday.

Pears, alligator pears, peaches and grapes are included in the list of fruits offered the trade. The peaches, product of Florida growers, are not very large, and the demand is slow. There still is plenty asparagus being received. chiefly from the Eastern Shore of Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey, but receipts are nothing like as heavy as they were a week ago.

W. Swayne. chairman of the new division, will preside at the meeting, which will _be held the forenoon of June 28. Subjects to be discussed in- clude: “Why a Board Should Have a_ Property Owners' Division,” “The | Three-Way Plan for Property Owner | Membership,” and “What the National Property Owners' Division Can Do for | Its Membership. The subject of property owner mem- bership in real estate boards will not be confined to the meeting of the prop- erty owners’ division, but will likewise come before the general session of the | be discussed by the realtor secretaries {in their division meetings. Leonard | ecutive committee of the National Asso- ciation of Real Estate Boards, will dis- cuss property owner membership at a| general eonvention session, and Mr. Swayne, who is president of the Chicago Real Estate Board, where a strong prop- erty owner membership is forming. will speak before the realtor secrefaries division on ways in which property owner membership can function effec- | tively and at the same time not overlap |its activities with certain phases of board work which are peculiarly the function of the realtor. That the establishment of property owner divisions in local real estate| boards has been felt as a community| need is indicated by the great number of boards in which some basis of such ‘membership is being formulated or con- templated since the action of the asso- ciation at its mid-Winter meeting in Birmingham. when the establishment of property owner membership in local boards was definitely approved and recommended to the local boards. Before the Birmingham meeting four member boards already have property owner divisions within_their organi- zations—New Orleans. Portland, Ore. Norfolk, Va.. and Madison, Wis. Since the Birmingham meeting such divisions have been created within the real estate _boards of Pasadena, S Lake City. Pittsburgh and Macon. State associations are active in the organization of property owners within the local groups. The Ohio Association of Real Estate Boards has created a property owners division, and plans to start an intensive drive for member- |ship in the early Fall. The Florida, imcmc Northwest and California State | associations are working toward in- creasing the property owner member-~ ship of the local groups and the fol- |Jowing boards have made preparations |for some provision to bring property inwners and realtors into association in work of mutual interest: Washington, Chicago.

C, SATURDAY, CONSTRUCTION MAY 25 IN U. S. ADDS TO BUSINESS STABILITY Directly Affected Prosperity of Many Workers. Construction in the United States has made an important contribution to the stability of the Natiol business in recent years. Its volume of $7.000.000 000 a year has directly affected the prosperity of many other flelds of busi- ness and large numbers of workers. The construction industry itself has advanced in a number of directions, and notable among these are the close co-operation of groups in the construc- tion industry, more intensified research and prompt application of its results, growth of standardization and simpli- fication, definite long-range planning of public utility and Government con- struction, a greater independence of local conditions in financing and con- certed efforts toward stability. These are developments reported by Dr. John M. Gries, chief of the Divi- sion of Building and Housing, Depart- ment of Commerce, in a chapter on “Construction,” written for the com- mittee on recent economic changes. The chapter covers one of many re- cent economic changes which for more than a year have been surveyed by the National Bureau of Economic Research. The national bureau’s surveys, together h the committee’s report, has just been published. The latter constitutes a critical appraisal of the developments, that there may be a better understand- ing of our economic system and a broader ability to cope with problems as they arise. Program Is Not Large. ‘The size of the national construc- tion program. Dr. Gries indicates, is not large, in relation io national income and savings. There is need for an an- nual addition of 400,000 homes and other types of structures. This is in part. due to the demand caused by movement, of population from farms to cities and towns. been stabilized somewhat as a result of immigration restriction. The increase in per capita income and savings has influenced the require- ments of home construction, notable advances as to minimum standards of light, air and sanitary facilities being noted, and further emphasis being found on furnishings, equipment and landscaping. Perhaps the most marked improvement is in plumbing. Another influence in this construction advance is the growing percentage of vacan- cles in run-down and undesirable dwellings in many citles. City plan- ning and zoning has become widespread and of growing importance. Statisties show that one family house construction reached a peak nationally in 1925 and of multi-family houses in 1926. Among non-residential buildings the largest group was commercial struc- tures, including offices, banks, stores, warehouses and garages. The greatest fluctuation was noted in offices. Next in importance was industrial buildings. Recessions in 1924 and 1927, as com- pared with preceding years, may ha been due to improved processes which have frequently diminished space re- quirements, as well as to dependable transportation, which decreased stor- age requirements, it is_indicated. In large buildings, Dr. Gries states, construction -time is perhaps 30 to 40 per cent less than required before the World War. More work on materials is done in the factory and less at the site. Approximately ‘11 per cent less steel is required in steel frame con- struction by reason of changes in basis of working stress. Other savings have resulted from careful analysis of strains and stresses. Wider use of specifications and better inspection. Municipal building codes are being re- vised 1n the light of modern practices. More reliance is being placed upon trained engineers. There has been in- tensified competition in building ma- terials. Machinery More Adaptable, Labor-saving machinery has been made more adaptable and more reliable and is more widely used, Dr. Gries indi~ cates, including the motor truck and the gas engine. Economies have been de- rived fro ma more general rental of ma- | chinery and eauipment by contractors. There has been no increase in the ratio of labor to material costs in con- | struction of large buildings, Dr. Gri Just think of this! The requirement has | finds. ‘This is attributed to the use of | labor-saving equipment, less time lost on account of management and the | occasional use of laborers for unskilled | work formerly performed by more | highly paid craftsmen. | In public works and utilities con- struction. changes in actual magnitude and developments in planning, financ- ing and technique have been notable. Large programs are being carefully de- signed to provide economical service ered. Annual road-building expenditures run close to $1.500,000,000 for construce tion and maintenance, Dr. Gries says. Federal and Statc agencies have worked out a well co-ordinated network of prin- cipal roads covering 185,772 miles, about one-third of which has been im- proved. There is need for better plan- ning of road improvements and of co- operation between authorities in ad- joining counties, as well as of cities and adjacent rural territory. Several States centralize purchase of certain supplies and maintain research bureaus. Econo- mies have been derived from closer attention to the awarding of highway contracts in several States. Practices in concrete road building have changed. Machinery for road work has advanced as to efficiency and adaptability and productivity is increasing. Another important. development has been the tendency to reduce hours in | the working week, Dr. Gries states. Building trades since 1921 have been !l‘nusul]ly free from labor controver~ sies. The survey of the National Bureau of Economic Research was begun in Jan- uary, 1928, following the appointment of the committee on recent economic changes. The committee completed its analysis of the survey data on March 2. and the report and survey has been issued under the title “Recent Economic ghanles." by the McGraw-Hill Book 0. The committee on recent economic changes is a continuation of the Presi- dent's umemployment. conference of 1921-3. which through a subcommittee on business cycles and unemployment then made a report on booms and de- pressions. As now constituted the com- mittee consists of President Hoover, chairman and a group of foremost busi- ness and labor leaders and economists.
