UNPRECEDENTED GROWTH
OF U. S. MERCHANT MARINE
Journal of Commerce Gives Statistics
Covering Thirty-one Months of
European War.

NEW YORK. March 3.-Figures indi-
eating Unprecedented growth in the
merchant marine of the United States
were published here today by the
journal of Commerce showing that dur
ing thirty-one months of war the total
apital authorized in the formation of
new ship corporations aggregated S141,-
$4,000. with February of 1917 setting
a new monthly high record.
Fifteen new corporations with cap
ital stock totaIing s30.525,000 were
formed last month, according to the
statistics. as compared with March OF
1916. the previous record month, when
s12. 900 in stock was issued.
Factors in this revival of ship con-
struction, il was pointed out, have
been the enormous volume of tonnage
destroyed in submarine warfare, some
thing unknown in previous wars; an
inclination by many foreign shipping
interests to operate under United States
registry becauS the American flag
has offered the greatest protection
and abnormal profts earned by ship
companies generally in spite of ton
mage losses.

British steamer knight Companion,

The knight Companions second shot,
at about 1900 yards. struck the sub
marine, which, it was stated, fmmedi-
ately sank, leaving on the surface wide
patches of heavy oil. and nothing
further was seen of the submarine or
any of her crew.

BRITISH SHIPPING EFFORT
STIMULATES PRICES HERE
Chicago Grain Market Is Also Help
ed by Diminished Rail Traffic
Difficulties.

CHICAGO. March S.-Big advances
| throughout the entire list of grain
and provisions this week have resulted
largely from reports of extraordinary
endeavors by the British government
to facilitate shipments. Net gains in
values were: Wheat. 6S to SIS: corn.

visions, 90 to 200.
Wheat prices started out strongly.

ment of huge purchases for Europe and
by assertions that a fleet Of tho largest
merchant vessels in the world would
shortly be conveyed from this side of
the Atlantic.
that Lloyd Georges address dealing
with the submarine problem implied a
long continuance of extraordinary de-
mand for foodstuffs, and even pre-
peace news. On the other hand. Presi-
dent Wilson's speech requesting sup
port from Congress in employing armed
force to protect American marine rights
appeared to have no effect on the mar
ket, as his course seemed to have been
fully anticipated
Submarine Depression Offset.
News that the Laconia had been tor
pedoed without warning depressed the
wheat market temporarily. but the
effect was far more than offset within
twenty-four hours by assertions that
British authorities were trying to char
ter as grain carriers all the neutral
vessels possible, and were offering to
pay three times ordinary rates. besides
guaranteeing owners against war risks.
Assertions that railway traffic diff
culties were being diminished tended
also to lift prices.
Transient bearishness yesterday on
account of the breaking of the south
western drought gave way later to the
influence of high-record prices Of corn.
Topmost values ever reached here for
corn were brought about chiefly
through steep jumps in hog quotations.
oats hardened with other cereals. The
lofty climb of the provision market
was imputed in the main to increasing
evidence of shortage in the available
supply of hogs
