BUILDING IS AIDED BY RISE IN PRICES Increase in Securities and Commod- ity Levels Reflected in Con- struction Industry. The rise in stock and commodity prices is helping the building industry and should serve to stimulate home constructicn and repairs, an editorial in the American Builder declares. The value of stocks and bonds on the listed exchanges of the country increased $10.- 000.000,000 from the low point recorded July 8. it reports. i “A rising market means greater opti- mism all around. But there is a much more practical benefit than that. The rise in security prices means more | money available for building purposes. It means easier credit and a better at- titude, the spending of money for mod- | ernization and new construction,” the | magazine declares. “Stock market prices alone cannot bring back a return of prosperity, but they can make a start. There are other factors in the present business situation that are encouraging. Prices of a num- | ber of important farm commodities have risen, increasing the purchasing power of the farmer by several hundred mil- lions of dollars. This added purchasing | | further power in the hands of farmers is of | great importance.” Home modernizing campaigns are being aggressively conducted in some | 200 cities and towns, organized by the men of the building industry and back- | ed by civio organizations interested in | unemployment relief. Reports to the Department of Commerce show that since January 1, 1932, these campaigns have produced results involving an ex- penditure for labor and building mate- rials of not far from $50,000.000. It is estimated that the present potential for such home repnlr and im- prm:or:’\ent work is close to $3,000,- Today’s Low Prices Warrant your inspection of 1716 16th St. S.E. $7,250 Bem| - detached CORNER brick home, three bed rooms. tiled bath, two “large screened rear porcl covered front porch.
