LONDON. June Fl. - The worst
fears Of bad week in the submarine
campaign are realized. The Admiralty
statement Of ships sunk shows the
third highest total in larger British
ships sunk since ruthless submarine
warfare began. Last week appears to
indicate the crest OF one Of the waves
IN which the U-boat campaign seems
TO beat upon England.
Though all told thirty-two British
ships were sunk-the high total Of
twenty-seven OF them being over 1900
tons-the situation is not regarded too
pessimisticaliy by naval men. who in
sist that the Admiralty's methods OF
fighting submarines are growing in
efficiency. Also the last week includes
one day which is regarded as setting
a record for the number OF vessels
lost. The Admiralty statement on the
submarine operations for the week
shows:

CAPITAL AWAITING OUTCOME OF EVENTS
 IN GREAT PROBLEM
United States Bankers Are Arranging the Prelimi- naries For Foreign
 FlOtatiO1s

New York, February 1s.-Other uncer- tainties in the international situation. which resulted in a general freight block ade. were among the more adverse fea- lures of dull week in the stock market. It was evident, however, in the very moderate daily operations that technical conditions were sound, even though indi- cations of further liquidation were not al- together lacking.
 Much capital is awaiting the outcome of events at Washington, where prepara- tions for a large government issue are assumed to be well toward completion. It is also understood that our bankers have arranged the preliminaries for several ad- ditional foreign flotations.
 In the main foreign exchange markets were more stable, but renittances to Lon- don and continental Europe were the smallest of any week for several months. Resumption of the gold import movement on scale suggestive of last years enor- nous inflow gave rise to reports of an- other entente loan.
 In the stock market representative tn- dustrials were again stronger than rails. All the metal markets were stimulated by advances in raw and refined products.
 Shipping shares made considerable i'm proven1ent later in the week, their rise being coincident with fall in marine in- surance rates, issues of related companies strengthened in sympathy.

TEN NEW CONTRACTS MADE FOR THE OCEAN GOING BOATSFORU.S.
Steel Manufacturers Still Suffering From made quate Supply of Fuel
 and Raw Materials

New York, February 1S.-Steel man. ufacturers and independent industries are still suffering from an inadequate supply of fuel and from lack of other raw material. but the largest interests report some improvement in the mum Der of cars furnished by railroads.
 Railroads are still actively placing orders for motive powers. Very few cars were ordered last week, but over 1000 have been put under contract since February l. Rails have taken for 1918 shipment, including 45,0oO tons f6r roads in the southwest.
 Interest is largely centered in the urgent demand for ocean going boats shipyards on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts having entered additional con tracts for 12 ships, 10 of which are to be built at Pacific coast yards These boats will require about 100, ,ooO tons of steel plates and shapes, 60,O0O tons of which have been orderded for shipment in the last half of 1918. In addition the French government has taken over the contracts of several boats now in course of construction on the Pacific coast. Great Britain and France are buying boats now afloat wherever they can De found The United States government will take bids on four scout cruisers in March
 Structural work is again active in all sections of the country. Among the largest contracts are 1000 tons for runways at the Norfolk navy yard, 1000 tons for pier sheds and other structural work in the Panama zone and 7S00 tons for Philadelphia sub ways. The Bridge Builders society has just reported January contracts amounting to 111.ooo tons. but addi- tiona1 orders for 2S,O00 tons not off cially confirmed were placed last month.
 Merchant sales of pig iron this week amounted to S0.000 tons for domestic shipment with prices from 50 cents to $1 per ton higher in the south and east Wrought iron and steel pipe is at $4 and blue annealed sheets $5 per ton.

COTTON REGA|NSA
 l. STEADY TONE WHILE OUTLOOK IS ADVERSE
New High Record For Con- sumption by Mills in Jan uary Stimulates the
 Market
By "Hop''

New Orleans, February 1s.-With little cotton for sale in the contract market
 last week, the market maintained steady tone and in the face of adverse political reports and 8 highly discourag
 ing export situation, remained at the ad-
 vance throughout At the highest levels
 the trading months were 6s to 1o1 points
 over the previous weeks close. The net
 change for the week was gain of from 20 to 4o points, or from s1 to g bale. weekend market letters generally gave as the real reason for the advance the sound technical position of the market.
 Prior to last week much long liquidation had been accomplished. while recently a certain element among professional traders was inclined to sell short on the freight situation.
 A stimulating influence of trade work was the census bureau report on mill sta- tistics for January, showing a total con- sumption In this country of cotton and linters of ,457 bales. new high rec ord for the month, which brought the to- tai for the season thus far up to 3,74, 3o9 bales, also a new high record.
 Efforts of shorts to cover toward the weekend kept the market steady in spite of uneasiness over international politics, and the lack of new business. There was a decided disposition late in the week | to refrain from entering into new busi- I ness because of the holiday in this mar ket Tuesday and the holiday Thursday in both American markets.
 1 With trading so broken up, the coming week probably will be inclined toward dullness, unless something important should happen in political way or some change should come about in shipping.
