There was no actual war shortage in any of the materials handled by this section. An abundan e of Portland cement is produced in various parts of the country, and this is equally true of common brick and the other commodities. But the unnaturally large Government demands in particular, congested localities made a limited conti-ol over prices and distribution necessary. The Government used only 11, 000, 000 barrels of Portland cement in 1918, out of a total produc- tion of over 71, 000, 000 barr...els and from an industry which ordinarily produces more than 90, 000, 000 barrels per year. Fixed price schedules for cement were arranged, after investiga- tions by the Federal Trade Commission and hearings with the pro- ducers, first in December, 1917, and again in August, 1918. The prices were effective over four-month periods. They applied to Government purchases only, and varied with 30 different producing points, from $1. 30 per barrel in Texas, for example, to $1. 90 per barrel in California.
