This was the forecast of business conditions made here today at the sixteenth regular meeting of the Mid-- West Shippers' Advisory board, whic~: covers the states of Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin. western Indiana and northern Michigan.

CHICAGO, (SPECIAL),--Chicago is to have a gigantic Merchandise Mart housed in its own building, which will be twice the size of the largest business building in the world. This mammoth structure, two city blocks in length, 18 to 23 steries high, is planned for the service and convenience of merchandise buyers of the United States and to achieve for Chicago a still greater prestige as & Great Central Market, it was declared today. It will cost $30,000,000, -- Construction will begin immediately. The project will be the largest single development of air rights. © The property of the new building except for cais sons begins 23 feet above "datum." The big business of the country is now done mainly in concentrated market places, as evidenced by the Garment Center and Cotton Goods Center in New York City, automobile rows in all lead-- rmmommemms ing cities, financial buildings, and the Furniture Mart in Chicago, where more than 70@ furniture manufacturers show L4 their products side by side. in the most | Jf lt -- modern manner and under ideal condi-- | 7 m **1 tions.

To the west of State street, a comparuble development is under way. The site,of the new Merchan-- dise Mart is in the reet path of this northward movement.
