QUIET BOND MARKET
HAMPERS BUILDlNG

NEW YORK October 20 (P,.--WhiIe
many of the established industries have
made rapid progress in recent months
in the face of unusually high money
rates, sharp declines in building per-
mits in August and September indi-
cate that credit tension has tended to
delay. new projects.
The sluggish character of the bond
market. induced by the high call and
time money rates, has had q direct
bearing in the delay of building prof.
ects through causing difficulty in financ-
ing. During the falling off in building
permits in the past two months time
and call money rates advanced sharply.
Statistics compiled from $50 cities
and towns by S. w. Strauss 81 Co. reveal
that permits showed an opposite tend
crease of about S50,000,000. Call and
time money rates dropped during that
month in 1927. and bond prices i'm
proved substantially
On permits taken out earlier. how
ever, building activity has been at a
high level in recent months. Total con-
tracts in September surpassed all rec
ords for that month. Work now in
progress is expected to keep the in
dustry unusually busy until after the
first OF the year. Building permitted
increased markedly during May and the
totals for June and July were consider
ably ahead of those months last year.
Another factor in high level of con-
Struction has been numerous heavy
building and engineering projects, such
as bridges. dams and highways, which
do rot appear in the building permits.
The totals aS committed nv w StraliSc
&c Co.. comprise about 30 per cent Of
the ordinary urban building in the
country.
Seasonal factors govern the widest
variations in the total permits from
month to month From the end of
January to the first of March normally
comes wide increase as arrangements
are made for Spring projects. The peak
is normally reached in March, and
during the rest of the year the totals
decline irregularly

TELLS ABOUT STRIKE
Labor Federation Man Discusses
New Bedford Situation At Conyeu.
ton Held In Salem.

Salem, Mass, Aug. 6 Rt-Francis
O'Gorman of the United Textile
Workers of America, speaking of the
opening of the convention of the
Massachusetts branch of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor today, said
that the striking textile workers of
New Bedford would never return to
work until manufacturers revoked
the 10 per cent wage reduction that
caused the strike. O'Gorman said
that If the state board of Cancellation
and arbitration went through with
its determination to fix responsibility
for the STRIKE it would find that the
situation started when employers
failed to get through the legislature
bill authorizing the employment
of women in the mills until 10 p. m.
When the bill failed of enactment,
he said. the employers tried to force
a 10 per cent wage reduction on the
workers who according to his esti-
mate were then receiving an average
wage Of $19 week.

mid atlantic have been reported by
two steamship captains arriving re-
Gently from America.
They said that the stream was
flowing westward instead OF east
, ward. This has aroused much in
terest in meteorological circles and
some popular disquietude lest it
portend 4 change in the British
| climate. Scientific authorities, how
ever. assert that the phenomenon is
! an isolated affair and that return
of the ice age to the British Isles
is nothing for the present genera
ton to worry about.
Captain Parker of the S. S. Ho-
meric, which arrived at Southamp-
ton Saturday, reported that the
stream showed its reversal of course
from longitude 80 west to longitude
40 west.
This phenomenon, although moi
unknown. is extremely rare" sale
Captain Parker. Il attribute it to
the prevailing easterly wind accom-
panied by northeasterly swell
which was found there. To my
mind 1t proves only that one should
not place too great faith In the &C.
cepted laws of navigation. but b.
on the lookout at all times"
