Construction contracts in the United States in May totalled $3,402,575,000, the highest figure ever reported for any single month, according to F. W. Dodge Corporation. Commenting on these new figures, Thomas S. Holden, Dodge vice-chairman, said it was now evident that "Construction is well past the bottom of the relatively mild recession it *as e*periencing in.late 1957 and early 1958."

Contracts for residential buildings in May totalled $1,346,170,000, an increase of 4/o over May 1957. The number of dwelling units covered by the May contracts was 104,048, the highest monthly total in two years and 2/o above May 1957. The number of single-family units was one percent ahead of May 1957, and the number of units in apartment buildings was up l4/o.

Cumulative construction months of 1958, with percentage changes from the corresponding period of lasf year, shbw residential building, $5,145,117,400, down 3/o. While these cumulative figures show the current year lagging behind 1957, the spread between the two years has narrowed considerably during the past three months.
