REALTORS TRIP
TO WASHINGTON
WILL BOOST CITY
Birmingham Board Her
aids Coming OF Special
From Magic City

The Birmingham Real Estate board
is setting q worthy example for the
civic bodies Of Birmingham in the mat
ter Of advertising this great city and
district at the Washington convention
of the National Association of Real Es-
tate Boards June to g. said Execu-
tive Secretary Sam Starke Saturday.
This Washington program to be
put on by Birmingham realtors involves
the expenditure of much time at this
busy season in real estate, an outlay
of several thousand dollars. and a de-
vOtion to the, interests of Birmingham
that tends to refute the oft-repeated
charge Ofsa lack of civic pride in this
city. The drives during and after the
war, recently the Community Chest,
and now this special train to Wash
ingtOn on June /, carrying large
party of Birmingham boosters, the Boys
Industrial band, many hundreds of
souvenirs, and much literature adver-
Using this city-an stands as a chal-
lenge to the critics Of the Birmingham
spirit" Mr. Starke said.
The suggestion was made mat the
citizens who are prone to criticise
Birmingham do not look intently enough
at the constructive side, do not attach
due Importance TO those things which
have actually been done. 1t is won
derful TO note what change of view
point will accomplish, and how revOlu-
tiOnizing encouragement is. If this is
true with individuals, why should it be
otherwise with communities? If every
man, woman and child in Birmingham
were to take the constructive side of
this matter, thinking Of and talking of
the past achievements only in which
community spirit was the moving cause,
how we would begin to believe in our
selves and our city and what a won
derful front we would present to the
worldl
s'The Birmingham Real Estate board
believes in this city and is now propOs-
ing to call the attention of the thou
sands of realtors gathered at Washing
ton to the spirit and enterprise of Bir-
mingham in a way not soon to be for
gotten. The arrival in Washington on
a special train has already been. her
aided over this country and Canada
through display advertisements sent to
every board in the National association.
The Boys band, the permanent SOU
venirs, the advertising literature and
the enthusiasm of the local delegation
will do the rest" according to the ex-
ecutive secretary.
1t was explained that associate mem
bers and their wives, of the board will
be welcomed on the special train and
that they will enjoy the same reduced
rate of one and a half fare for the
round trip. 1t is to, be hoped that
quite a number of these will take ad-
vantage of the opportunity and thus
help make the delegation as large as
possible. Quite a number may yet be
accommodated.

NEW YORK, June 20.-Strength of the public utilities and a select list of industrial specialties featured today's ir- regular curb market. Oils were inclin- ed to heaviness on unofficial reports of federal investigation of alleged profit eering in gasoline, but most of the losses in that group were limited to fractions. New Mexico and Arizona land. whicj controlled by the Frisco railroad, was again active on reports of intensive de- velopment work in that section of the country.

 National Tea continued it's sensation al climb, moving up points to a new high at 193. Lehigh Valley Coal certif- icates were again active, closing 1H points higher at 36.
 Checker Cab broke 3% points and some of the other motors yielded frac- tionally. Centrifugal Cast Iron Pipe touched 34 and then fell back to 32%.
 Bonds again were active with buying power most effective in the public uti1- ity lines.

September eased off from 13.43c to 12.35c and March from 2s3c to 12.70c. The close was at about the lowest, notwithstanding reports of firmer spot situation.

WHEAT LOWER AND UNSETTLED / UndergOes Material Set back Early And Then
 Stages Rally

CHICAGO, June 20.-Wheat aver aged lower in price today but was rallying at the last. Word of liberal export buying at Liverpool helped to offset buying at Liverpool and the breaking of the hot wave in southwest Wheat closing quotat tions here were un- settled at 14c net lower to 5sc advance, July, $1.115s to 1.14% and September, 1163s to 1.16h with corn Ac off to 11ac gain, oats a shade to c up, and provisions showing 2c to 5@7c drop.
 With lower temperatures and rains in. the southwest and with Liverpool quotations down, the wheat market here underwent a material setback early, then rallied to little above yesterdays finish, and later fluctuated nervously within the previous range. Much of the demand on the declines came from new buyers who apparently acted on opinions that the bearish reaction had gone far enough. On the other hand, crop reports from the spring wheat territory were favorable and the har- vest of the winter crop was making progress in Kansas as well as in Okla homa and Texas.
 Estimates were current that ,00O, ,0OO bushels of wheat for shipment to Europe had been purchased at Winni- peg. There was also considerable re- placement of speculative lines here which had been sold out at recent higher figures. Reports, however, that a big combination of elevator interests had been effected was an unsettling in fluence as the day came to an end.
 Signs of expansion of shipping de. mand here for corn brought about higher prices for July and September deliveries but better weather conditions eased December. The east was said to he after oats. Commission house selling weakened provisions, lard in particu. lar.
