SURVEY -SAYS FEW CITIES OVERBUILT Shortage in Residences and Business Space, However, Offsets Surplus. BY ALVIN RESCH, Associated Press Stafft Writer. CHICAGO, July 14.—A cross-section survey of the Nation's real estate in- citie are overbuilt, despite a realty market that is barely 50 per cent as active as it was a year ago. Some cites, in fact, report a shortage. in family residences and apartments, supply of business space to every one that is overbuilt in this respect. Of 381 cities reporting on realty sales to the National Association of Real Es- tate Boards within the last 30 days, 49 per cent say their market is the same or more active than at this time last vear. Eighteen per cent report a better encing fewer sales. Demand Equals Supply. In 72 per cent of these cities, which range from towns under 25,000 to met- ropolitan centers of more than 500,000, in all sections of the country, the de- mand for single family residences al- most equals the supply. Only 11 per cent have an_oversupply of family dwellings and 17 per cent report an ac- In the case of apartment buildings, 65 per cent have no oversupply, 12 per y in 23 per cent. Two-thirds of the An unique situation exists in the cities of more than 500,000 included in the survey. In none of these is there ily dwellings—demand equals the supply The extent to which the practice of “doubling up” has affected the housing situation is shown by th> case of St. Louis, where more than 13,000 families are living as “extras” in residential units of all types. Of these, more than 9,000 are living with other families in Business Rents Firm. The survey shows that both double and single family residences have ex- perienced sharper rent cuts within the last year than any other rental units, while business rents have remained fairly firm in most cities. In 60 per cent of the cities between 200,000 and 500,000 population, central office space rent figures are the same Reductions in rents for both single and double family residences w-°re re- D.

Silver exports of the United States in 1930 totaled $54.157,000, while imports were valued at $43,761,000. The excess of exports over imports for the year, the Commerce Department the decline resulting chicfly from the drop in the price of silver to the lowest levels ever reached. | During the same period gold exports | totaled $115,967,000 and imports $396,- 054,000. The average annual imports last year about $36,000,000 came | from Mexico, Canada and Peru. About | $47.000.000 of the exports went to China | and British India. “'Gold poured into the United States in 27 of the 31 months ended with Februery, 1931,” the Commerce De- partment said. “During those 31 months the United States regained $550,000,000 (net) of the $577,000,000 (net) of gold exported curing the previous 11 months. “One of the important factors in bringing about the inflow since August, 1928, was the reduction in United States underwriting of foreign bonds, which resulted chiefly from the sharp rise in money rates here in late 1928 and in 1929, as stock market speculation proceeded. “During 1930 we imported hardly any gold from Europ-: on the contrary, we exported about $74,000,000 to France and about $3,000,000 to Italy. The heav- iest import was from Japan, $156,609,- 245, with no offsetting exports to that country. We took about $88.000,000 from Brazil, about $20,000,000 each from Mexico and Argentina, and about $9,000.000 each from Colombia and Uruguay. “Among the more surprising gold mov<ments of the year were the imports from Hongkong and China, about $11,- {000,000 from each.” Butter—One-pound prints, 28%; tub, 2.
