ALLIES SEE LONGER WAR.
Munitions Contracts Extended From
 October 31 to March 31.

New York. July 22.-Munition manufacturers, discussing the out look for future allied buying, point to the fact that while Great Britain and France up to a few months ago, were asking for final deliverlcs Cn business offered by October 3l. re- cent inquiries have extenGed deliv- cry date until March 3i. 1917, lndi- eating their belief that the war will
 last beyond that time.
 It was insistence on quick 'lellV- cries that prevented the closing of orders in the market last month. One inquiry for E million 6-inch shells, involving about 10 million dollars. would not be considered by at least one big concern, which re- fused to bid on this account, altho if was practically certain it could have obtained the contract. Un- certainty exists regarding the ex- act amount of war business now pending and the opinion prevails that it is considerably larger than reports have indicated. Several concerns have been asked to bid on contracts running all the way from i5 million dollars to 30 million dol lars.
