The figures quoted above show that lumber is retailing, on the averl age, at around 25 to H" per cent under tlie peak prices of 11)20. While no one is competent to look, into the future rnd wiy that lumber may not (?o lower, yet, in view of the increasing- costs of lumber production anil transportation, it is considered doubtful whether lumber will ever miain in this country decent, to the level of the spring of Will, when the bill for the Cleveland small house am auntcd to $1,087. Should it do so the savinp; would be about $;t00 in a total cost of $4,iM0 ut present prices. This raises the question of whether a person desiring nd being in a position to build now, cares to defer indefinitely the occupation and enjoyment of a home of his own tor the sake of gambling on a possible saving of about 7 per cent on the total cost of the house, and at the same time taking the risk that present prices are at the bottom of a new rise.

"Tlie fact taut the Itusmess Index of the Itabsonchart has dropped to ( per cent below normal is largely due to ibis import .--iiuatiou, which is resulting in the gradual shutting down of our mills and factories.
