Federal STEEL PLANT
IS ORDERED REOPENED
Daniels Will Have New York Navy
Yard Tum Out Castings for
Warships.

Because. he explained. the prices OF
steel castings have taken an eXtraordi
nary leap upward. and likewise because OF
his fear that deliveries under private con-
tracts might be seriously delayed. Sec
rotary of the Navy Daniels yesterday
ordered the reopening OF the steel plant
at the New York Navy Yard Although
this plant was not designed for large
work. Mr.. Daniels stated il has a SUI
ficient capacity 10 turn out casting weigh
ing four tons or less, and by putting II
into operation he expects to effect a con-
siderable economy both in time and
money.
In a small way" said Mr. Daniels.
who left Washington for New York yes
terdsy afternoon TO inspect the foundry.
the steel plant at the New York yard
serves to illustrate the advantages Of
equipping the navy with facilities for
the manufacture OF its own materials
As soon as business conditions make pr1-
waite manufactures anxious to secure
work there Is automatically a lowering
OF prices until a point Is reached where
It is generally more profitable for the
government to buy than to manufacture.
Under these conditions II Is a simple
matter to suspend government nanufac-
tUre and to give to private industries
work at a time when work Is wanted
When. on the contrary. there Is a boom
In certain lines OF manufacture and gov
eminent work Is not sought for except
at the higher prices that can be obtained
cOmmerclally-and II Is not even then
desired on account OF the necessity Of de-
laying commercial work IN order TO han
die 1.-THE navy plants can be again
started UP and the situation relieved

New York, Nov 2s.-Dun's trade review
for the current week tomorrow will say
Widely divergent lines in all sections
reflect a sustained growth in business
movements and volumes.
Manufacturing operations still broaden,
with overtime in force in many in
stances. while retail distribution steadily
enlarges under the stimulus OF increased
pay rolls and continued low tempera-
lures

become a more conspicuous feature and
there is every indication that results In
this particular branch will prove excep-
tionally gratifying.

and the commercial mortality dirninishes.

Exports were again Of unmatched pro-
portions in October and the present de-
velopment of oversee commerce Is aided
bv the greater stability OF sterling eN-
change, due to additional foreign GREATS
in this market. Moreover. a further ex-
tension Of American enterprise abroad IS
foreshadowed by the steps taken with
that end in view by important financial
interests. As illustrating the excep-

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Dun Sees American Business Looking Nice and Bradree
Backs Him Up in Optimistic View Of
American Business

I New York. Nov. 3.-Bradstreets review
Of trade for the week tomorrow Will say:
Nearly every prospect seems to please.
and a year that started under q cloud
OF uncertainty or depression Is ending
with productive energies moving at high
speed.
This weeks reports. rejecting as they
do cumulative growth in trade and indus
try. display a marked degree OF snap.
the situation in general being the best
noted for a long time past.
MisEivings as to the immediate future
are negligible. in the leading industries
operations are being pushed to the Ut
most. labor is scarcer. pay rolls are
heavier. and a spell of cold weather. plus
the increased spending power OF the
masses. has wrought ma rked Improvement
in retail trade. progress In which also
is helped along by holiday buying.
These factors in turn have brought re-
orders to Jobbers from interior mer-
chants. and over a wide area such pur-
veyors as well as wholesale dealers are
doing more than we'll Activity in the
larger lines springs from good house
trade. mail orders and sales by road
agents.
Food Wanted Abroad.
Things to eat and to wear are those
most wanted. and various kinds OF tex
tiles are in short supply. America Is
reaching out for new foreign markets In
which to sell the products OF peace times.
but in passing II is to be noted that
while wars needs started things moving
out OF the rut OF depression. foreign de-
mand no longer overshadows domestic re-
quirements. although il is to be conceded
that our own consumers have come into
the market at a time when anything but
bargain prices prevail. In this connec-
ton Il is significant that a leading rail-
way has withdrawn an order for cars be-
cause of high prices
Winter Wheat Doing Well.
Winter wheat has been helped by rain
as well as by good weather. and estimates
OF decreased area are being whitfield
down. Freer marketing Of grain and low
rates for money have aided collections.
but many grain growers are disposed to
hold their wheat. Car congestion. espe-
cially at tidewater points. IS increasing.
the shortage OF vessel space for exports
aggravating the situation.

FAITH IN CANUCK RAILROAD.
Small Investors Placing Their Money
In TranscontInentaI. Stock.

Montreal. Nov. a6-The Financial
Times, of Montreal. today says:
The increasing number Of stockholders
in Canadian Pacific gives a vivid indica-
ton OF the growth OF confidence In the
company's position and in the Dominion
of Canada as a center for capital invest
ment. At the annual meeting OF the
Canadian Pacific Railroad in 1907. II may
be recalled. Sir Thomas Shaughnessy re-
marked that there were upwards OF 1900
shareholders whose holdings did not ex-
coed fifty shares each of the company's
stock. BY June. 1913 this number had
swelled to 27OOO.
The Financial Times secured the definite
assurance this week that there are now
5000 names on the company's list OF per.
sons holding fifty shares or less. This is
a marvellous record and gives striking
evidence of the increasing popularity of
the shares among small investors
