CLEVELAND, Ohlo, June 12.— Charles A. Otls, Cleveland Investment banker, "told delegates of the eight- eenth annual convention of the Na- tional_Association of Building Owner and Managers yvesterday -that the available capltal in the United States is in excess of all demand. “We have become the richest Na. tion the world ever saw, with avail- able capital in excess of all demand,” Mr. Otis said. “This situation has greatly increased the volume of se- curities and demand for securities, especially of the investment type.” He cautioped = members not to plunge into the construction of office building without preassurance of rentals.
