new QUARTERS.
Housewarming Set for
Tomorrow Night
By RICHARD R. BAKER

National Permanent Building
Association, that started out hold
ing its meetings in old st. JoSeph's
Hall 48 years ago, moved into its
new quarters at Tenth Street and
G Place Northwest, today, taking
the records of its 100000 in
assets and the archives of a great
institution.
Tomorrow night the officers and
members of the association will
give a housewarming in the new
office. The lobby of Tennessee
marble with teller's cages of pol
iShed bronze and walnut cubicleS
for the executive staff will be
turned over for inspection of the
friends of the institution.
HEADS WELCOMERS
r. R. Buckley, president of the
association, will head the welcom-
ing committee which will show
the visitors the modern vault and
a supplementary vault beneath:
the modern air-conditioning plant
and the restrooms and directors
rooms, all in keeping with the
general motif of the impressive
building.
Business is being conducted at
the new stand today, however,
within the same month in 1890
that the organization started its
long and prosperous career.
Clifton M. Eisele, president of
the Southeastern Industrial Bank
ers, Inc, will leave Thursday for
Chicago to attend the semi
annual meeting of the board of

come Gin dollars. which is capi.
talized at the current interest
rate to determine the value of the
bond. Thus high interest rates
are an immediate cause of low
bond prices. A $1,000-par bond
paying $50 a year is worth $1,666
when the interest rate is 3 per
cent. but is worth only 1888 at 6
per cent.
WHEN TRADE BOOMS
When business booms. the de-
mand for money and credit rises
rapidly, causing higher interest
rates. These, in turn, cause a
decline in bond prices, which is
apt to come while the boom is
still on.
Commodity prices also rise dur
ing booms, and this rise reduces
the purchasing power Of the fixed
income which bonds yield, thus
tending to lower bond prices.
But rising prices overstimulate
the buying and production OF
commodities and excess supplies
accumulate. Therefore. sometime
after bond prices decline, we usu-
ally find commodity prices falling.
BY that time, intelligent people
begin to see that more corpora
tions are going to earn less money.
They therefore sell stocks and the
market falls.

NEW YORK, Oct. 81 GN.S0.
Steel output last week rose to an
estimated 54.5 per cent of capac-
ity, the first week in 1899 that
production has been at a higher
level than the same time in 1887,
Steel Magazine said today in its
weekly review.
LOSSES DECREASE.
Fourteen steel companies, rep
resenting 1877 per cent of the
country'S total ingot capacity,
had an aggregate loss of $7,282,-
424 for the third quarter, COM
pared with an $8,140,206 loss in
the second quarter, the publica-
ton stated. For the first nine
1888 months these companies had

shock of the fact-finding commits

rail wage cuts.
Carrier shares broke / to 2
points at the opening, but recov-
cred half their losses before the

list, meanwhile, moved irregularly
higher, after momentary SoftnesS
at the start.
RAILS ARE WEAKER
N. Central opened 7s lower on

Chesapeake and Ohio and Great

Rubber shares led the recov-

Bethlehem wiped out an ex-

SILVER ACT OPPOSED

The Chamber of Commerce of
the State of New York today made
public a survey of the results of
the silver policy of the Federal
government in which conclusions
were reached that the Silver Pur-
chase Act of 1884 should be re-
pealed and that the Treasury
should cease buying silver bullion.
Efforts of the government to
widen the use of silver as a none
tary metal have failed completely,
the survey says; the United States
has become a dumping ground
for the unwanted silver Of the
world and the experiment has
undermined confidence in the ma
tion's currency.
The report Of the committee
that made the survey will be pre-
sented to the chamber as whole
next Thursday.
