BRITISH ORDER
MORE SHELLS
Bethlehem Steel Instructed to
Continue Manufacture Until
End of Year

NEW YORK, July 7.--Besides
s25, 100000 OF definite additional or
ders. the Bethlehem Steel Co. has
received instructions from the Brit
ish government 10 continue its shell
manufacture to the end Of the year
to the capacity of the plant
Although tnese orders come
through J. P. Morgan & Co. from
the British government. the shells
are desired TO a considera bic extent
for use in Russia, and Russian In
spection has retarded the shipment
OF almost everything In the United
States from rifles TO powder. Even
the Bethlehem Steel Co. has been
bothered in its shell output by Rus
sian inspection and its shell deliv-
cries of late have been 10 per cent
below what they should have been.
This will soon be remed.ed and the
company's earnings should again be
mounting upwards. Already the
monthly earnings are higher than
any yet reported. They are now
above the s6,000.000 per month
mark after all interest charges. In
deed the Bethlehem Steel Co.'S earn.
ings are for common stock now we'll
beyond 81 per share per day. Earn
ings for 1916 from orders now in
hand are figured at nearly s65,000.-
900 after all interest charges.
