NAVY YARDS GET
LARGE CONTRACTS
TO BUILD BATTLESHIPS nos. IL
AND "A.
Daniels Awards Jobs to New York and
Mare Island Naval Establish
ments Because Cheaper.

Washington, Dec 9.-Secretary Dan
iels announced today that contracts
for the construction of battleships No.
43 and No. "A, authorized by the last
congress, had been awarded to the New
York and Mare Island navy yards, re-
spectively, their bids being: New York
$7,690,925, Mare Island $7,413,156.
The decision to build the ships in
the government yards was reached at
conference between President Will
son and Secretary Daniels.
All bids submitted by private con-
Germs exceeded the cost fixed by con-
gress for construction of the vessels.
The secretary announced that he
would ask congress to authorize the
equipment of the navy yard at Phila-
delphia for battleship construction at
a cost Of approximately $1,000,O0O in
order to be better prepared for the in
creased building programme contem-
plated in the administration defense
plans.
Keels of battleships No. 43 and No.
"A, Mr.. Daniels said, could be laid in
August or September of next year.
The battleship California, now build
ing at the New York yard, will be off
the ways by that time.
The Mare Island estimate included
several hundred thousand dollars for
enlarging stocks to take 32,000-ton
ship. Material for this work will be
purchased Immediately and contracts
for the structural steel Of both ships
probably will be awarded tomorrow.
In submitting its estimates, the New
York yard proposed to build either
turbine driven ship or one equipped
with the combined steam and electrical
machinery first authorized for heavy
warship when this system was decided
upon for the California The Mare Is
land yard estimated only on turbine
driven ship.
Secretary Daniels said a decision
would be reached later as to whether
the electric drive system should be in
stalled on one or both of the new
ships. Estimates for electric drive
were lower than those of the straight
turbine type.
Secretary Daniels said his reason for
having the ships built in navy yards
had been explained to the chairmen of
the senate and house naval committees
The last battleship constructed by the
navy, he haid, had cost $7,200,000 for
hull and machinery, but increased tor
pedo defenses in the new ships would
mean an additional cost of $4,000 to
S175,000 Congress set the limit OF
cost for each ship at $7,8O0,OO0 and
the secretary said that while the de-
partment would not hold itself to the
estimate submitted by the New York
and Mare Island yards, there was q
wide margin between those figures
and the congressional limit.
The ships will require 68,422,22O
pounds of structural steel and bids re-
Gently received from steel companies
show that it can be obtained at less
than the cost estimated by the navy
yards. Armor plate prices are un-
changed from last year. Assurances
have been received that there will be
no delay in the delivery of any ma
teriai. Mr.. Daniels expects both ships
to be completed within "a months.

treat-Other Grains Up.

\ Wheat traders we're in n mood to
consider items of bearish import yester-
day. For a time they were successful
In marking values down, but n complete
recovery set In before the session ended.
The advance was ascribed to an over
sold condition of the market rather than
to the effect of the numerous messages
telling OF disaster to portions OF the
spring wheat crop from the rust and to
the winter wheat plans from the excess
siyc rains.
Every one agreed that the heavy
showers In the Western States were in
terferring with the movement Of the
new crop and that some deterioration
was taking place. but there was no dis
position to become alarmed.

rather small. wen after allowance is
made for the unrcported shipments from
Montreal. Tho showing was 2.s66. 00O

For all July. the exports have been
approximately 5000, 900 against S0.-
000. 900 a year ago. Great Britain has
forbidden the publication OF export
statistics from Canadian points.
CORN-The trade ignored bullish crop
reports from Iowa and Nebraska for a
time and sold the market down with the
weakness In wheat. A moderate rally
followed. however, It being evident that
the technical position had been strength
ened by the recent seNbacks.
Oats-There was an upturn or more
than three cents n bushel In the Chicago

ering brought about a demand for the
later months. Wet weather through
the country will further delay the new
crop movement and there has been a
lowering OF he crop estimates, but a
big yield remains according to reliable
advices. a little export business In new
oats was reported yesterday.
Provisions-Fluctuations were less
violent yesterday and the market ruled
quite steady. Commission house de-
mand was improved. many considering

THE E MARKET.
Manufactures of Rounds Are
Mostly Booked Far Ahead.

Tho Steel market continues active
n strong. Demand is heavy. Mil
operations are above 80 per cent. of
capacity and prices show AN advancing
tendency. The heavy demand for high
grade steel required for the manufac-
ture Of ammunition has sent prices for
this class of steel soaring and as high
as So per 100 pounds has been paid for
rounds. Manufacturers of steel rounds
are mostly booked far ahead and several
are out OF the market. If buying ron
tinucs at the present rate prices will
undoubtedly be forced to higher levels.
Demand from the railroads Is con-
siderably under normal. but steel manu-
facturers are hopeful of an Improvement
in buying from this source. Indications
point toward much improved earnings
for the roads In the nca future. IL
this proves true Il large increase in
the demand for equipment Will no doubt
result.
