BONDS CONTINUE
PRICE ADVANCE
Foreign Government Loans
And Liberty Issues
Rise.

NEW YORK. July 22.-Bond prices
continued their advance again to-
day 'throughout most OF the list,
although the more significant gains
were made by the foreign and rail-
road issues. Announcement that
remainder of the s100,000,0oo new

callable 7i2 per cent bonds had
been taken. and the books closed
gave strength to these bonds.
They were one of the most active
issues dealt in today and went for
a new high to 95l7. as compared
with 95 at which they were offered
in May. The City of Copenhagen
5ks, which have found better de-
mand for several days, rose to IS
or points above their price early
this week. Most of the foreign
government loans were in demand
today at slightly higher levels.
Offerings of the highest. grade
railroad and the longer-term equip
ment issues are still scarce and at
relatively wide margins above bid
prices.N ''-
Government war bonds went to
higher levels, for the most part. on
"a fair volume of business. although
they did not represent as large -
proportion of the total sales as had
been the case for a number of days
past. Heaviest trading was done
in the Victory Ans, which touched
ss.44. and Liberty fourth AS
which reached S7.4S. A majority of
the industrial bonds were steady
without great activity, although
the du Pont 7ks gained nearly a
full point. American Telephone and
Telegraph Company's convertible
6s made another fractional gain,
and the Interborough refunding SIS
went u OF a point higher.

WHEAT UP AFTER
SLIGHT DECLINE
Possibility of Export Trade
Results in Price
Rise.

CHICAGO, July 22.-sensationai
reports on famine conditions in
Russia, and buying of July and Sep
tember wheat by houses with ses-
board connections, which was re-
garded by the trade as rejecting
export business, resulted in prices
averaging higher after a small de-
cline early. Sentiment generally
was bullish. but the buying, aside
from that by the seaboard, was
mainly of local character. and
bulges were not maintained.
The July gained slightly on the
September. while the basis for cash
wheat in the sample market was
firm. There was some inquiry here
for cash wheat from the seaboard.
Cables claimed that Russia needed
120,000,000 bushels of wheat, but
the trade believed that, in view OF
the financial and statistical posi-
ton, such a quantity could not be
secured. especially. in view Of the
appeal for charity. A private est,-
mate on the wheat crop of the three
Canadian northwestern provinces
showed 275.Ooo,O 600 bushels, agarns,
233, 000, 900 bushels harvested last
year. Deliveries on July contracts
were $4,000 bushels.
Corn gave evidence OF consider

The production Of pig iron was
at the high level OF an average daily
production of 100000 tons, as late
as october of last year. This was
but little below the high war
record OF $4,000 tons reached in
September. 1918. Iron production
was on the decline in 1914 when the
great war started but began a rapid
Increase In 1915 and has held most
Of its gain since except during the
latter half of 1919. I'm 1920 produc-
tion came up again and II was not
until 1921 that the great drop came,
production falling of to level be-
low that Of 1914. These changes are
shown in the following table,
The Washington herald., 1921-07-23

The new price scale Of iron and
steel brings them down to a level
below that of the last few years
and not far above the, price level OF
1913. The further fact that these re-
ductions are being made generally
throughout the trade Is further
proof that the. adjustment Is basic.
At the same time that the United
States Steel Corporation made the
cut in prices 1t announced a change
in time in labor hours which VIII

OF the factors upholding costs Inc
freight rate continues to be bar to
now being just about double the
freight cost in 1913. Reductions in
the cost of producing ore and re-
ducing II have been made but the
freight rate continuesto be a bar to
a return to 1913 prices.
The steel industry as a whole re-
fleets the. present situation best In
the fact that United States orders

what they we're during the same

In the iron and steel industry

in the same proportion these

The price reductions by several
indicated that's new low
level of prices must be reached be-
fore trade could revive and continue
at any considerable volumn. The
steady decline in production since
a year ago had compelled the iron
and steel manufacturers to recog-
nize that something in price adjust

This shows that metal products
rose in price a little earlier than
general prices and also began a de-

trend, Taking iron and steel
separately, however. the reductions
have not been so rapid, as Is shown
