Southern BuiIdinq
Double Year Ago
In Six Months
TotuI Comes Within
20 Per Cent of Record
For All Of 1941
BY the Associated Press.

BY tne Associated PreSS.
BALTIMORE, July 6.-The most
intense construction activity in the
history of the South was recorded
for the six months just ended, the
Manufacturers Record said today,
placing total contract awards for
the period at $2,312, 10000, double
the figure for the comparable period
last year
The new half-year peak, the pub
lication said, came within 20 per
cent of the entire 1941 total, itself
an all-time annual record.
Public building again led the vari-
Gus fields Of construction, boosted
by more than a billion dollars OF
Government funds for Army and
Naval establishments, housing works
and schools in the South, the Rec
ord said.
Industrial awards totaled $716,-
$4,000 while engineering projects
dams, earthwork, drainage, Govern
ment electric and sewers and water
works aggregated S313, ,204 900
Private building in the January
June period came to $50 1922 900 but
that figure was topped by road and
street awards by almost $4,000, 600
Southern contract awards for
June were $444, 1877, 900, higher than
the May figure and above the cor
responding month last year.
A higher rate of activity in pri-
vate construction, the Record said
was accounted for by acceleratior
in residence erection, despite reg
ulations which practically stalled all
other work by private builders.
Both private interests and Gov
ernmenJ authorities proceeded on
a large scale to relieve the housing
shortages in those areas where in
coming laborers are taxing existing
facilities"
Total private residential awards
for June, the publication added, was
s13,591 900; for public housing
$2l ,a45, ,ooo.

Bull Market Ended
For Bonds, Reports
AdvisoryService
Gradual but Moderate
Decline Is Declared
Now Under Way
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOSTON, July 6.-The bull mar
ket in high-grad bond prices which
began in 1882 is over and gradual
although moderate long-term de-
cline is now under way, says the
United Business Service in a special
report released today.
The service points out that the
forces which sustained the rise in
bond prices for nine years are now
slowly deteriorating. Taking their
place are the influences of war and
imitation. Federal authorities obvi-
ously desire to keep interest rates
at low levels and no abrupt changes
are likely. However, the fact that
Government financing requlrments
will continue to increase sharply
points toward somewhat more at
tractive yields than now exist. War
Savings bonds are not vulnerable to
a general rise in interest rates and
are therefore the most attractive
type of Governments.
Highest grade corporation bonds,
the United Service forecasts, will
probably show reasonable firmness
over the near term, but lower prices
must be expected as interest rates
strengthen. 1t is thus advisable to
follow a policy of shortening ma
turies even though this lowers yield
somewhat.
In the case OF medium grade
bonds, it is automatic that such
issues will be depressed most in any
bond market weakness. Lower
rated industrial and utility obliga-
tions are also unfavorably situated
because higher costs and taxes are
reducing fixed-charge coverage.
The service feels that rail issues
will continue to be the most attrac-
tive among speculative bonds and
should rise with any general strength
in stock prices However, shorter
maturities should be favored. par
ticularly those which are in line
/ to be retired rapidly through COM
pany borrowing Holdings of longer
term issues should be confined, in
the opinion of United Service, to
those issues which are likely to be
supported by open market purchases
or those that have better-than-
average postwar prospects.

WAR Needs Dominate
Buyers at Chicago
Furniture Shows
transportation Problem
And Shortages Claim
Major Attention
&, the Associated Press.

&. the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July 6.-Buyers who
visit the Nations two principal
furniture market shows opening to-
day were expected to be influenced
in their purchasing plans more by
the multiplicity of wartime busi-
ness considerations than by style
trends.
The shows, both of which will
run through July 18, are the sum-
mer national home furnishings mar
ket at the Lake Shore drive Ameri-
can Furniture Mart Building, and
the International Home Furnishings
Market in the Merchandise Mart.
Uncertainties as to the wars fu-
ture effect upon Government regu-
lation having both direct and in
direct effects on the home furnish
ings business and the tightening
transportation and delivery situa-
ton were the subjects of most dis
cussions of both buyers and manu-
facturers as the summer market dis
plays opened.
Little Effect Seen.
1t was felt generally, however, that
the possibility of inventory control
measures for the industry would
have little, if any, restraining effect
upon purchases of articles displayed
at the shows, since nearly all of the
stock is made of non-critical ma
terials and can be produced in ade-
quate quantities to supply consumer
demand
Percy Wilson, managing director
of the Merchandise Mart show, sale
shipping was the most difficult prob
lem confronting the industry. Fed.
eral restrictions have cut shipments
and there have been increased limi-
tations on use Of railroad rolling
stock, he said.
I'm general" Wilson added, man
ufacturers regard the next go to 9t
days as the most crucial in the home
furnishings industry, but anticipate
that within that time Qualifications
of price and inventory control and
some adjustments of various other
problems including the shipping
problem may be anticipated"
Shortages of all types have hac
their effect on production and de.
sign, with continued depletion Of
hardware stocks for handles, Joint.
and hinges the most drastic.s
Simpler Styles Used.
The use Of cotton upholstery ir

and discontinuance of many of tht

noticeable features of the summer
displays.
With many wholesale house.
carrying good stocks, mart men said
no rush Of buying was indicated thi
summer, but the prospect Of unre'
ieved transportation difficulties wa!
expected to encourage booking o.
advance orders.
Perhaps the most notable styl,
trend at the shows was a return tt

Week Steel OUTPUT
OF 1,659,600 Tons
Is indicated
Estimate Based on Rise
In Operating Rote
To 97.7 Per Cent
BIZ the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 6.-The Aneri-
can Iron and Steel Institute esti-
mated today the Nations steel mills
would operate this week at 97.7 per
cent of capacity. an increase of IL
per cent over the preceding week,
when operations were at 96.5 per
cent.
This weeks output will be equal to
1,659,600 net tons of ingots, COM
pared with 1889 200 tons in the pre-
ceding period.
A month ago operations were at
99.3 per cent with output at $685.
700 tons and year ago the rate was
e4.e per cent and production 1867
900 tons.
CLEVELAND, July 6 (P).-Appli-
cation of new steel ratings lis ex-
pected to be made slowly to cause
as little disruption as possible" the
magazine Steel reported today.
The ratings. designed as AAA
AL, AA-2, etc, were adopted to
untangle the situation resulting
from an excess Of Ala priorities,
on which had been superimpcsed a
mass of allocations and directives. ;"
With the heavy load on mills, the
plan is welcomed as at least a
partial solution
The trade publication continued
In its weekly review:
Probably not much effect will
be apparent on shipments in July.
It means that some holders Of
Ala ratings will not get steel that
might have been delivered under
the former plan. The volume OF
steel orders under allocations and
priorities is estimated at double
what it was in May and will total
about 80 per cent of July deliveries.
The remaining 10 per cent will go
to highest rated orders, probably
not lower than AA-2.
Manufacturers of war goods are
handicapped by inequalities in parts
supply, a result of the tight steel
situation, often lacking some part
necessary for completion of prod
ucts. Farm implement manufac-
= turers are having trouble maintain
ing their quotas of needed agricul-
tural machinery because of slow
delivery of light shapes and alloy
and carbon rounds"

cate dollar volume held close to the
peak established by the pre-tax rush.

gional centers: Middle West, O to
