Expected Boom is Under Way, as Evidenced by Contracts Awarded.

The feeling of uncertainty is pradually being dispelled, states HuIIdinj? Ape. editorially. With labor steadily becoming more abundant, builders who were holding aloof morn becaue of the labor situation than because of hlph prices, are poinp ahead. That the expected boom is under way is borne out by the fact that contracts let during March were greater than any year since 1911, except 1917, when urgent government requirements made the record abnormal. Government encouragement, the "Own Your Own Home" movement, hijrh rents, war wag;e savings of the thrifty, and needs of expanding business, constitute factors which are pushing construction. The crisis is past. From now on the building trades and material manufacturers should gradually enter upon an era of prosperjty that may even sur

pass the hopes of the most optimistic. The latest reports, received direct from city building departments, show a gnln of 3 percent In rermits granted for March, IMS, compared with March, 1 91 S. the totals for 173 cities being $36.997,sr.4 for March, this year as against $42,044.451 last year. That the prosperity Is widespread is shown by the fact that 124 cities report gains, as against 51 reporting losses. Eastern cities report a gain of 41 percent, 43 out of t!5 cites showing Increases; middle states cities report 27 percent gain. 34 out of 47 showing Increases; southern cities 34 percent gain, 31 out of 40 cities showing increases; and western cities report 24 percent gain. 16 out of 23 cities showing increases. This favorable condition shows widespread activity in all sections of the country".

Burroughs' Ape-man, Played by Elmo Lincoln, Greets Many Followers.

Tra.'Tic moved by the railroads showed notable improvejijent over preceding months toward the end of April, although far less in volume than tratlic a year aa. The pain was especially marked in the northwest, where bui'dintr materials, grain and grain products, ore. and salmon are movinpr with preater freedom. Traffic reports point to a slight quickening of industrial activity, chiefly in certain raw materials, rassenger tralllc continues about normalIron and steel tonnage has fallen to a 50 per cent basis, and the movement of coal and coke and cotton is liqht. The winter's trend prevails. The lumber business hows improvement and tralTic in building material arrows larger, owing partly to the reduction in rates. Cars In loot I Supply. Cars are in fair to good supply at all points. The Allegheny return reports heavy box car requirements with supply about equal to demand, but a great surplus of open cars. Car supply in the northwest is satisfactory, althouch some snortape of flour and grain cars at the head of the lakes and the Twin t'itb's has been reported. The. immense harvest of winter wheat in

early summer will later tax present facilities to the utmost, but the administration is fortified with upwards of .10,000 new cars undei contracts dating back one and two a ai s. I'ootl I'xport Heavy. Some red tu ! ion has occurred in the war department's tratlic over

seas, due to the return of troops, lirge quantities of rain and forage are still needed. Deliveries keep pace with arrivals. Food exports continue heavy. Around 10.000 cars remain on hand at Xorth Atlantic ports. The N'exv York harbor strike caused much Incitnvt nlfnre and delay, but there is little added congestion. Ocean tonnace Is limited. Export Inquiries show a gratifying Increase and cottun exports compare favorably with earlier months.
