Record Tear In Building Industry. Another special survey of the building construction situation ha.; Just been com- 1 plfted by Dun’s Review, and the latest 1 reports Indicate that the industry has ex perienced a record year. Some dl«pafoh*vi | state that high coi ts tended to retard operations during November, but there wac the offsetting factor of unusually 1 mild v.* eat her, which wan fa\orablc to the i continuance of outdoor work. A good ; rfta! of activity throughout the winter months is apparently foreshadowed, end 1 1? 1«* not improbable that some ne * rec ord.* may b made next spring. Worker:! In the building trade are well employed, with a shortage reported In some «iuar tere, and wages remain at a high level. The ruri ey shows that building loan? arc r»Adlly obtainable In most centers, at an average rate of about »l per cent. Cotton Crop Again Moderate. Only once before in mere than -.0 yearj —in ;931—has the cotton proJuctton of the United States been so small a* that of this year. The government. In its final estimate of the season, \vk.t placed ‘the crop at 9,9 04,000 .Vales, which was about in line with fhc general ♦specul ation of the trade. While a considerable increase is indicated over the 8,000,000 bdle crop of laat year, yet the present yield compares with an average of more than 13.000.000 bale* for the preceding i 10 year . and It la necessary to go back to 1901 to find a smaller crop. After the official report had been announced on Tuerduy of this week, prices yielded moderately; but the decline was soon checked and a •declaR'e rise followed.

S’ot mu -h busi- j neag has be... done, ho -ever, a» the n.-w .quotation i. In the sfe*-| department, rail-, road equipment orders and inquiries con tinue to attract attention.

The important feature In the \vhe»it situation is prospects of* an Improve ment in the financial condition abroad. Foreign exchange has ad vanced sharply, which a good fea ture, enabling exporters to sell their bills to better advantage and buy grains.

Financial New York. Dee. 17.—The astonish ing advance ot' sterling last week had several effects on tho talk of tho day. For one thing, it started the whole community, even outside of Mall street, into animated discussion of the problems of foreign exchange—some thing which lias not occurred in any siioli degree since the week in Febru ary of 1920 when sterling plunged , down to $3,18. On both occasions public interest and curiosity were whetted by the mystery which seemed to surround the market's ac tion. Tn 1920. the offhand inference ! was freely drawn by amateur econo- | mists that tic structure of English j credit was tottering, if German ex change had been Quoted then in M all street -It was not dealt in until live months later—we should doubtlc s ; havo heard mournful prophesies of , "the pound sterling following the 1 mark.” A little o’ the same extravagance, ; in tho shape of tho opposite Infer- ! enecs and prediction?, was bound to follow the spectacular advance last week. Not only was the pound ster ling scheduled to return in a few i weeks’ time to the par of but j the word began to be passed around ! that perhaps what we were really I seeing was the "depreciation of the ! dollar." Con lenient. t'ormilt*. This last suggestion Is one of tho.c I catchwords which get their vogue because | they provide a coiivenisitt formula for j people who do no* g-‘. to tho bottom of. things. l»ika the familiar ca'chword of I 1 SCO that '"he dollar has been cut In two." it call* for notice only t- • auue of t the popular misconception or'ated i.

' j It was perfectly true hut woe, linn tho American guid dollar-would uot buy i us much exchange on London by 12 t"‘r I cent os It would have bought a. year be- I fore. The intervening movement was no doubt as much a decline of the dollar In . terms of Br.tlah rurreucy as it wait an ad vance of British currency tn terms . of American dcltara. But oinee the dollar, even with eturllng at 14.69. remained at a premium of nearly 4 per cent, talk of ita "depreciation" wan the aureBt means .of causing mtaconeeptIon of the facts among the simple minded. It la not on re-oril that tho markets described our own specie resumption of 1813 as "the depreciation of the poural.” l3*»t Mow. Tho question of the return c»r sterling 10 ■ parity u another matter. If sterling " «r<3 to advance above last Wednesday's Vftco , enly a. much an It had advanced In the | 13 da>H before last Wednesday, it would ; aland at par ox-hang*.
