STRONG DEMAND
HOLDS UP BONDS
AFTER SETBACK
Prices Recover AS Money
Becomes More Abund-
ant Late In Week
(By Associated PresS.)

NEW YORK, Nov. IA strong I'M
DERIVING demand for bonds held prices
firm last week, with the trend of the
market closely following the movement
of money rates. A temporary setback
early in the week was attributed to the
rise in call funds. impeding the flow
OF idle cash into investment channels.
Prices recovered later as money became
more abundant, promoting a resump-
ton of institutional buying.
Payment for Americas 100000
share Of the German loan was accomp-
lished last week without disturbing the
money market. More than $1OO,OOO,0OO
was received at the offices of j. Z.
Morgan and company, and Immediately
deposited in other banks, creating
balances here which are expected to
accentuate the ease of money. Gradual
transfer of the proceeds to Berlin Will
inaugurate movement of gold from
the United States to Germany for the
first time sence the wra.
Swedish Loan Pr0spers
The offering of $3O,00O,000 Swed-
ish government loan met with a re-
spouse almost as hearty as that which
marked the sale of the German bonds.
The issue was over-subscribed about
five times, it was estimated, and al
lotments were cut in some cases to be-
low 20 per cent.
Several other sizeable bond offerings,
including $4,000, 600 Brooklyn Edison
tives, swelled the weeks total financing
to almost S1O0,OOO,00O compared with
$65 100000 in the preceding week.
With the sale of the Swedish loan,
American subscriptions to foreign bond
issues this year crossed the one bill
lion dollar mark.
Election is Reflected
Although price movements In stock
exchange trading were without par
ticular significance, a rise in United
Kingdom bonds to the highest levels
of the wear reflected the favorable i'm
preston created by the conversative
victory in the British elections. Libetry
bonds were firm, with several issues
holding around 1924 top prices. Furth-
er buying of railroad lines was pro-
NOTED by the report of record breaking
car loading for the third week in
October Sugar company mortgages re-
acted OH a decline in commodity prices,
reports of excess supplies and estimates
of larger crop.
Influenced by the easy money stu
alton, numerous corporations have been
retiring high interest bonds through
the sale of issues bearing lower coupons.
For this reason the value of bonds
called for redemption in November in
advance of maturity total $63, 723 900
compared with only $21 $4,000 in Oc-
tober.

IN BIRMINGHAM
Greater Production Only
Awaits ElectiOn-Bet-
ter Prices Loom

Birmingham district industries are
ready for the long anticipated increased
activity. Greater production only awaits
the passing of the national election
end anticipated better prices for pig
iron, coal and coke. Belief prevails that
No. 2 Foundry pig iron will reach $50
by January 1 or soon afterwards.
improvements have already been
noticeable in sales of steel, iron, coal,
coke and other products. Plants are
ready for greater output. Reserves can
be tapped to meet the demand and to
employ "a slang phrase, everything is
setting pretty.
No. 2 Foundry medium pig iron
quota ions are $1S per ton minimum
with machine cast iron bringing $40.
There is good inquiry reported. Pig
iron manufacturers are sold fairly well
for the balance of the year. There will
be not trouble in taking care of ad-
ditional business.
The DeBardeleben Coal corporation
exported between 5000 and 10000
tons in October and prices were re-
ported as slightly improved. Operators
as stated week ago in these columns,
would welcome better price, but they
are not complaining of the present
market. Production of coal is steadily
improving in volume. Operations will
increase from no now.
The coke market is very similar to
that of coal. Shipments are improv-
ing. The volume is a little better.
Prices for coke are still considered too
low.
Demand for Stag is good in Birming-
ham with prices remaining about the
same.
Strong demand for cast iron pipes,
steel, clay and other products IS ex-
pected in the near future.

the candidates for state and national
offices in the gift of North Carolina
voters trekking homeward to await the
verdict at the polls Tuesday, interest,
as election week dawned, appeared to
center on the fate of the port terminal
bill, one of the six measures to be

to the port bill fight by an attack
at Kinston last night by Robert N.
Page on Governor Cameron Morrison.
Mr.. Page accused the governor, who
has made strenuous personal cam
paign in behalf of the measure, of de.
sorting the Democratic party. He also
challenged Gen. Albert Cox, director
of the port bill campaign, to state who
was paying the expense of the cam
paign. General Cox issued a., statement
attacking opponents Of the measure and
asserting that expenses were paid
through contributions of as low as 80
cents. The governor! issued statement
asserting that many of the foremost
opponents of the measure were railroad
stockholders.

HAWAII JAPANESE
STATUS UNCHANGED
0rientaIs in Island Held
Exempt From Provisions of
New immigration Law.

The new immigration act will not
affect immigration of Orientals from
Hawaii into the United States, Secre-
tary Davis held yesterday. The state
ment Of policy was made after the
Secretary Of Labor had received an
opinion from Frederick G. Risley,
solicitor of the department, that pro-
visions Of the new act did not cover
any but foreign countries.
Mr.. Davis added, however, that
aliens coming to the United States
from Hawaii are subject to the re-
strfctions Of the general immigration
law Of 1917, and that Chinese are sub
ject as we'll to the Chinese exclusion
law.
LAS a result of these requirements
of law" he said, "all aliens coming
from Hawaii to the United States
must be inspected and meet all the
requirements of the immigration laws
except the new act"
Labor Department officials, inter-
preting the terms of the new act, said
the 100000 Japanese now legally In
the Hawaiian Islands are restrained
from coming to continental United
States under the terms of the immt-
grafton act of 1917, and their status
is in no way affected by the new act.
