LURES SV|S|TORS
Early Arrivals Indicative of
Growing Popularity of Old
South Carolina Winter Spot

CHARLESTON, S. c., Dec. 7
(SpeciaD when winter spreads
q chilling blanket over the north
and east, when snow and ice
cover the grounds and the wild
duck have winged their swift way
ward the residents of
coastal South Carolina casually
make engagements to play golf
beneath q warm southern sun over
courses fringed with plamettos,
pines and live-oaks; a stones
throw from the open Atlantic.
Or perhaps they choose to shoot
deer. duck or partridge-or hunt
foxes-or maybe to ride horseback
or 60 fishing. 1t makes no diff
ference. All outdoor sports are
enjoyed throughout the seasons.
The historic, quaint and beauti-
3ul sea port city of Charleston is
the center of the attractive
coastal section Of South Carolina
known as the Carolina low coun-
try and as such as has in recent
years become one of the outstand-
Ing resort cities of the nation.
Arrivals so far this season are
indicative of the city's growing
popularity with those who come
South each winter.
"MOST HISTORIC CITY"
Charleston, Americas Most
Historic City, is unlike any other
city in America. Only New Or
leans can be compared with it.
Distinctive in it's Old World
flavor, its historic background and
environment, it's own originality,
Charleston Is, and has been
through more than two and a
half centuries, an unusual city.
It is, and always will be, one that
every American should visit.
The visitor to Charleston senses
vividly and quickly appreciates
the romance and history of its
glorious past, the valorous deeds
Of those who founded what or
iginally was known at Charles
Town, the creators and defenders
of the American nation, the in
spring spirit of the Cavaliers,
the bold deeds of the pirates
an dthe romantic episodes which
have taken place in the stately
pillared mansions, in the ancient
taverns and coffee houses and
on the crooked streets, some wide
but mostly narrow, many paved
with ancient smoth worn cobble-
stones.
Located on the very shores of
romance, rich in history, climate,
natural and architectural beauty
and the gracious hospitality of
its people this unusual city is
growing in popularity as resort
each year. The winter residents
are representative of the social
and financial leadership of Am
erica.

Early heavineSS in the oils resulted
from a price reduction here of 4 cents

however, was due to competition from
independent service stations and was
regarded by Eastern oil executives as
merely a local affair, not likely to
spread.
Standard Oil of Indiana announced
it will discontinue purchasing about
1000 barrels of oil daily from stripper
wells, but will continue contracts Of

BRITISH FINANCIAL
CONDITIONS BETTER
Federal Reserve Board Reports
Continued Trade Gains During
Recent Weeks.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Federal Reserve Board reported
today that financial conditions in Eng
land have continued to improve in re-
cent weeks.
The British Treasury, it said, closed
its fiscal year on March 3, with a small
budget surplus and repaid on April 5,
the remaining $20,000,000 of the credit
granted last Autumn by private banks
in this country.
Sterling exchange, after its apprecia-
ton in March, f1uctuated within the
rather narrow range of $3.75-S380 in
the first three weeks of April, but de-
clined toward the close of the month.
For the purpose of limiting fluctuations
in the pound, the British government
recently created an exchange equal
ization account" amounting to 10000
900 pounds, to be administered by the
Bank of England.
Notes returned from circulation of
the Bank of England after the passing
of the temporary demand of the Easter
trade for currency. These were absorbed
by the bank through reduction in its
security portfolio. Bankers deposits,
which are held almost entirely for the
account of the London clearing banks,
were said to continue large. On the
other hand, the clearing banks have
been holding smaller volume of notes
In their reserves during recent months.
Consequently the figure for note cir
culation which shows a decrease during
recent weeks was said to understate the
growth during the year of currency act
ually in the hands of the public.

ALLEGED BOND POOL
IS STREET MYSTERY
Failure of Operation Ascribed to
Refusal of Subscribers to
Accept Quotas.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 21.-There is
much curiosity in Wall Street concern
ing the alleged bond pool that was in
the process of formation two weeks
ago. Since that time bond prices have
steadily reacted, with an average fall
of nearly 2 points in the past week. or
at rate swifter than at any time this
year. The story goes that plans had
been formulated to create a pool to
support the bond market and that
allotments had been distributed among
the different financial institutions and
to some of the insurance companies.
The hitch seems to have been in the
refusal of several of the proposed sub
scribers to accept their allotments
Certainly there has been no sign of
concerted buying. The extreme weak
ness of number of the underlying and
inactive issues indicates that there are
few bids under the market.
Wall Street feels that one of the best
things that the newly created COM
mittee of IL could do would be to
assemble banking funds to check the
decline in bonds. This has a more
disturbing effect on sentiment than any
other one factor. 1t is also the most
serious influence with which the banks
have to deal at present.

DECLINE IN BOND
MARKET RESUMED
U. S. Issues Higher-Buying
Is Small in Corporation
Securities.
BY F. III. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 21.-Bonds con-
tinued their decline in moderately ac-
tive trading today, entering new low
ground for the bear market. United
States Government long-term issues
were the only group to run counter to
the general trend.
There was no fresh developments in
Washington, but Treasury and Liberty
loan issues opened up IS to l point
on buying attributed to Treasury sinh-
ing fund 7nerationS. The Treasury
has, it is estimated, from 100000, 900
to S35 900 COO in the sinking fund with
which to purchase its own obligations
and so supplement the Government
bond-buying program of the Federal
Reserve system.
Treasury 414S were most active. They
opened a point higher and later touched
even higher levels, as blocks of SO and
100 bonds we're bid for in a market that
frightened as prices were carried up.
Liberty issues were comparatively
steady.
The general corporation list, however,
showed hardly a trace of any buying
movement If the newly formed Bank
ing Committee is organizing a bond
pool, as many in Wall Street believe,
the report has fS:Hied to convince the
spectators, who would ordinarily buy
domestic bonds for the sake of the
profits TO be garnered in the resulting
rise.
Most junior obligations were to 3
points lower on the day. The weakest
issues were the junior rails and the in
dustrials. Losses of a point or more
occurred in Baltimore & Ohio con-
vertible 412s, Canadian National Rail-
ways IS, Grand Trunk rs, Nickel Plate
SIPS and Southern Pacific AVS. Prime
carrier issues were firm at the start,
but reacted later.
,McKeSson & Robbins SIPS, Para
mount-Publix 5 l2s, Loew's IS and War
ner Bros 6s were all lower. Among
the oils Phillips Petroleum 5Hs, Texas
Corporation SIS, Sinclair Oil rs and
Skelly Oil S 12s were unchanged to frac-
tionally lower. National Steel SIS and
Inland Steel AIS were weak.
German government issues were still
under pressure, the Dawes Plan Is
which are prior lien on German gov
eminent revenue-losing points to
new low for the year and within strik-
ing distance Of the 1881 low. The
European list generally was disturbed
by a statement from Greece that there
would be a temporary suspension of
the transfers into foreign currencies of
sums to service loans that matured May
|. There were also run1ors of a military
coup to seize the Greek government.
Further revelations of the extent of the
Kreuger & Toll disaster affected many
European issues. Kreuger & Toll SIS
dropped 2 points. Japanese issues were
firm.
