teen and one-haIf per cent the larger
production Of steel than pig iron is
due Ia the fact that there has been
n great increase during the war in
producing open-hearth steel, in max
ing which much old steel rails and
similar waste are used.
AS rule iron companies distributed
considerable better dividends than for
the previous year. A few days ago the
leading company of Bochum declared
Il dividend of twenty-five per cent, as
against fourteen for last year. A roll
ing mill has just raised it's dividend
from five to sixteen per cent and
another iron company. which has paid
nothing for two years. is now expect
ed to distribute fifteen per cent. Many
iron companies and most machinery
companies have made good profits
upon war contracts. Companies turn
ing out cars and locomotives are kept
very busy. More locomotives, for ex-
ample. were made in Germany during
the first six months OF this year than
ever before in an equal period.
The ship-buildtng industry, too. is
well-employed in building not only for
the navy, hut also for the commercial
marine. Not a few shipping compan-
les are already taking care to bring
their tonnage up to the heavy require
ments that are expected after the war.
Shipbuilding concerns are even en-
larging their capacity in view of the
present and expected future demands.
The increased demand for new YES
sells has just induced the Stuelcen
Sohn yard at Hamburg to undertake
the enlargement of its plant. Other
concerns are issuing new capital for
similar expansion. Recurring to the
iron industry, 1t may be mentioned
that there, too, the tendency is seen
TO build anneXeS to existing works and
to absorb coal and iron mines on the
part OF the big steel companies.
In such lines of German business
as are dependent upon foreign sup
plies Of raw materials. production, is
necessarily upon much restricted
scale. This is true of all the textile
branches. of leather, rubber, and some
others.

employment Of labor is also more com

There is big demand for skilled
laborers in the coal and iron indus
tries, in machinery shops of almost all
descriptions. in the chemical trade,
and even in shipbuilding. In some of
these industries production is neces-
sarily restricted below the require
ments of the market by reason of tho
scarcity OF laborers. Large numbers
of the 1,65O,OOO prisoners OF war have
been put to work in various capaci-
ties, and this has tended TO relieve
the pressure for help Most OF these
