METALS

New York, July 2S.--The war indus- tries board estimated government steel requirements during the second half or 1918 at 20, 100000 tons, which is about s.50o, 900 tons in excess of the probable outturn. It is not likely therefore that any will be available for ordl- nary commercial purposes. Joooers will be allowed to replenish stocks used for government purposes only to the extent of their shipments of es- sentials during the preceding months Recent shipments have been heavy. They include 275,OOo tons to the Hog Island yard. and 1s7,0eO tons to the submarine boat plant.
 The governments control of iron dis tribution is complete. Following the recent survey some 5000, 900 tons have been taken from consumers and redis- tributed. Production has been excep- tionally heavy during July but is still insufficient. Of 1S0,000 tons for Ems land, 65,000 will be shipped by north ern and so.oo0 by southern furnaces within the next four weeks. The bal tober and November. A plan is on foot to apportion government orders systematically among all foundries. Production of copper continues to about equal supply.

 manded for prompt delivery.

SOME HISTORY OF
 CAPE COD CANAL
By HOLLAND

New York, July 2.--(SpecaL)-War exi- gencies justify President Wilson in as
 suming control for the government of
 the Cape Cod canal In length it is a little canal, only seven miles long, and
 yet almost exactly a hundred years ago
 John c. Calhoun, when Secretary of
 War in the administration of President
 Monroe, recommended that the govern
 ment construct canal across the shou'-
 der of Cape Cod, so that it would be-
 come one of the links in government
 and stretching from Cape Cod to the
 Sounds of North Carolina, ultimately
 across South Carolina to the Savannah
 river If this had been done this link,
 although seven miles in length, would
 have been an integral part of an in- terior waterway system approximately
 TOO miles in length. Calhouns recom-
 menda;ions were never acted upon, al
 though it was admitted that were a
 waterway of that kind established it
 would be sufficient to protect coastwise shipping along the entire Atlantic cosst from attacks of an enemy; and would, furthermore, facilitate the movement of commerce, since it would bring the south ern ports g hundred miles nearer New
 England than they then were.
 Many were the propositions made from time to time after Calhoun advocated the building by the government of canal across the shoulder of Cape Cod, for the construction of this canal by private capital At one time, not many years ago. Henry NJ. Whitney, one of the fore most of the business forces of New England, went farther than merely to propose the cutting of a canal from Buz- zard's Bay to Massachusetts Bay. MT. Whitney invested good many thou sand dollars in securing adequate enIi- neering reports and in taking the hrst steps in the direction of the construc-

THE WORLDS MARKETS
Weekly Financial

New York, July 2S.-Predictions that Congress is not likely to impose very severe burdens on business in the new revenue bill and a sudden drop in call loans to the lowest rate of the month were quite as helpful to last weeks firm stock market as the news from abroad.
 In fact, home developments seemed to outweigh in importance the bulle- tins from the French front. although these were several times made the oc- casion of wild outbursts of enthusiasm and concurrent covering of short con tracts.
 Additional proof of the soundness of Fundamental or investment eondi- tions was offered by the sale of s15.- 000,o00 New York city revenue bills on a basis more favorable to the mu- nicipality than the sale of like amount four months ago.
 There was little in the stock marke. to warrant detailed discussion. United States steel, whose directors meet Tuesday to act on the quarterly divi- dend far outdistanced all other issues in the moderate daily dealings. out closed with only a nominal change for the week.
 Other industrials, equipments and special issues reflected the caprices Of traders of pools, public interest being at low ebb. Of the high grade rails, Canadian Pacific and Reading were al- most the only shares to display any animation, the former gaining substan- tially on settlement of the threatened strike in the Dominion. Bank clearings again reached enor- nous totals at principal mercantile centers. but general lines of trade and industry continued to be dominated by federal requirements. International bonds were slightly more active and stronger, but Lio- erty issues made up the great bulk of dealings, the S5s hardening apprs- | ciably.

GOVERNMENT MAY BUY TT

GOVERNMENT MAY BUY TT
 Since the war began army engineers have been in consultation, presumably for tho purpose of deciding whether rec concentrations should be made to Con- gress that the government buy the canal. If that were done, then the canal would be widened so as to be 200 feet from bank to bank and there would be depth of 8 feet maintained, as well as a large brcakwater constructed.
 There was no doubt about the commer- cial practicability of this route, so far as communications from southern ports with Boston, and therefore New Eng land, was concerned, for if the plan to widen and deepen it was adopted then
 gst amounts of coal from the southern ports could be lowed to Boston ana then distributed throughout New Eng land.
 But it was not until the U-boats ap- peared off the coast of New Englani, and especially in the vicinity of Cape Cod, that the importance of this water way for the protection of our coastwise shipping was fully understood. It is for this reason, chiefly, that President Will son has assumed control of the canal, and it is net improbable that Congress may be persuaded that 1t would be, from all points of view, of advantage for the gover/nent to buy the canal and im- prove it.
 This canal links Massachusetts bay with Long Island Sound. Then there
 is abundant inside waterway communi- cation by means of the Raritan and the Delaware and Chesapeake canals, with Chesapeake bay so that Norfolk can be easily reached by this interior water way. Then there remains only the con struction ol an improved canal from Norfolk through the Dismal swamp to the North Carolina sounds. Ultimately, canal communication between North Carolina and the Savannah river may be perfected The experience of the war and the need for intensive concen- tration of industrial and commercial fa- cilities would, in the opinion of many. justify the government in undertaking this great work as a permanent gov ernment enterprise. In time of peace an artificial waterway of this kind, pro- vided 1t be so constructed and operated that the tolls would not be heavy, and especially if no tolls were exacted, would in way admiraly supplement the Pam ana canal It is not inconceivable that the day may not be distant when inland waterway communication from the Pa cific by the Panama canal thence across the Gulf of Mexico and then across Florida or Georgia to the Savannah river then as far north as Massachusetts bay, will be achieved

COTTON

New Orleans. July 2S--After scoring advances of about B bale in the early sessions of last week on favorable war ern belt, the cotton market felt heavy selling. encouraged by the weakness. of Texas spot. markets and favorable crop accounts from the eastern belt. The trading months lost all of the early gain and went SS to II points below the level of the close of the previous week. Last prices for the week showed net losses of 5 to 40 points. Spot prices showed net losses of 175 points.
 On the weekend session the market was steadier by private condition figures from various sources, one bureau mak- ing the average condition for the whole belt only 75 per cent of the normal, as compared with the government returns of @ month ago of S5.S. feature Of the weekend was the receipt here of the first bale of Louisiana's new crop. It sold at 40 cents pound This was the earliest first bale in many years.
 This week the main feature promises to be the government report on condi- font to July 25 and the crop estimate that will accompany it. This report is due Thursday at 10 o'clock, New Orleans time. and not a few weekend market letters inclined to the opinion that it would be a waiting market until the statistics were out of the way.
 Wednesday ends the old crop year and the trade is awaiting with more than the usual interest the figures on the commercial crop, mill takings, consump- tion and exports. part of these sta- tistics will be available before the week is out, and they may have some influ- ence on the market after Thursday. War news and the weather returns, as well as the way the Texas spot markets tend, are likely to cause swings in the price.

tion of this canal But the reports or the engineers were not entirely favor able Some of them deemed 1t essential that a great breakwater should be es- tablishcd off the Massachusetts bay ter minal of the proposed canal, in order to protect the canal from the high tides and the great waves which storms oc- casionally cause in Massachusetts bay. There was skillful computation Of tho relation of cost to the presumable tolls which might be obtained from vessels that made use of the canal. These seemed to show that the cost of the undertaking would be so great that 1t would be necessary tc exact such heavy tolls as would prevent the use of the canal for commercial purposes.
 Mr. Whitney himself was the owner or one of the largest of the coastwise transportation lines, which operated be- tween Boston and some of the southern ports. And 1t may have been this own- ership which d, first suggested to him that it might be the part of business wisdom to learn whether canal across Cape Cod would be commercially prac- ticah1e

THE PLAN ABANDONED

Acting presumably upon the reH ts made to him by the experts. Mir. w + ney abandoned the sdea of construct, < a canal across Cape Cod. Other attemy s which were equally abortive were later made and not until August Belmont per- suaded capital which, united with his own, would be sufficient to pay for the construction of this canal, was the work undertaken. MT Belmont, in that way. initiated the example which he had set d few years earlier when he. after others had declined to entertain a proposition for a subway in New York city, de- cided himself to undertake 1t, although some of his influential friends in the world of finance thought he was acting with imprudence
 MT. Belmont built the canal and 1t was opened to navigation only & few years age But there has always been a feeling that the canal would not be of the greatest possible advantage un- less substantial and very great breai.- water were constructed in Massachu- setts bay little beyond the terminal, and unless the canal was widened and deepened so as to permit the largest ves- sells to navigate it. This, however, would have entailed so great cost as presum- ably to make it necessary to exact such
