Should the Prince of Wales come

SURPLUS FUNDS
 FLOW LONDON . FOR HIGHER RATE
.Deis Flu ctuations, However, Bonds Reach
 New High
fBx The. Associated Pressl

NEW YORK, July 13.-Despite erra- tic fluctuations, bond prices last week moved into new high ground for the year. A duiet buying movement was aided by the continued ease of money, but the volume of trading diminished with the withdrawal from New York of British balances and the decision of local banks to send their surplus funds to London for employment at higher rates.
 The shifting of funds from New York to London, which has been reflected in a five-cent rise in sterling to around $4.37 since July 1, has been made to take advantage of both the leading and investment market conditions. Bank rates tiF London are approximately 1 per centahigher than in New York and the return on investment securities is said te-be more attractive in view of the abnormal situation prevailing here.
 Reaction Sets In
 With the relaxation of trading activ- Eity, reactionary tendencies frequently cropped out in the bond market. The downward movement of prices in any section of the list, however, seemed to induce fresh buying. which quickly car

PIG IRON DROP NOT DAMPENLNG
 TO INDUSTRIES
Heads Believe Price; Will Not Fall Below
 $18.50

While the buying movement which was launched in the iron market ten days ago failed to hold up during the past week the period was not altogether discouraging in this important branch of the industrial field.
 Two of the large makers reported that demand was running fairly steady and inquiries had shown a slight increase Other viewed the situation more pessimistically and stated that the market had lapsed back into the leth- argy which characterized it before the advent of the recent buying movement. Prices, however, remained firm at $1S.50 and most sale heads expressed the belief that they would not travel much below this level.
 Woodward Cut
 The feature of developments in the district during the week was the 10 per cent wage reduction made by the Wood ward Iron company. This was the first drastic measure locally to meet conditions for some time and whether
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-07-14

it was the fore-runner of similar ac- tions was a topic of dispute. No other companies have announced their policies though 1t is considered probable that they will fall into line if some advance is not shown in the pig iron figures.
 By signs, however, it is stated that business generally should recover from it's slump, With the democratic nomi- nee conservative, in opposition to as safe" a republican, business interests feel that they will have friend at the White House no matter which side is successful in the election.
 ,. Other Industries
 The sluggislmess of the iron mar ket has not yet become strikingly evil dent in other phases of industry. Ce- ment producers are keeping up at a fast pace; cast iron pipe companies are easing along on future orders running over 30 days; the steel plants are ap- parently operating near capacity. Coal has not displayed much activity, but it IS felt that conditions are largely the effect of the season.
 Whatever may be the situation in other lines of Birmingham business, the real estate market continues to bowl ; along at at unprecedented gait. Dur ing the week nearly three-quarters of a million dollars worth of property was moved, which is considered remark able for the second week of July, when l investors and Operator9 are commonly supposed to be basking at breezy sum mer resorts. The leading feature was the trade for the Burnett building, which is the largest deal since the Burger interest purchased the north eastern corner of Fourth avenue and Twentieth street. It will undoubtedly | be checked up as one of the biggest sin gle transactions of the year.

ried prices back to or above previously prevailing levels.
 At the same time the declining yol- ume of new financing forced buyers to seek employment for their funds in the listed field. The decrease in the weeks new offerings to about $56, 1000, 900 was attributed partly to the elimination of many scheduled issues ahead of time. Many corporations which had contem- plated the sale of bonds before fall are said to. have advanced the dates to take advantage of favorable market condis tions. ...
 Future requirements are thought to have been satisfied to such an extent that new offerings for some time will be confined to immediate needs which may arise. Negotiations probably will be concluded this week for several i'm portant issues, including about 5,000,- % for Japanese public utility.
 The revolutionary outbreak in Sac Paulo, Brazil, last week caused heavy selling of various Brazilian bond is- sues and had an unsettling effect upon the rest of the foreign list.
