Naval Patrol Boat.

An Atlantic Port, Aug 13.---German
submarines took toll Of American
shipping in waters adjacent to this
port for the second time yesterday,
when the Norwegian steamship Som
merstad was sunk off Fire Island.
The 1875 ton freighter was sent to
the bottom not far from the locality
where the armored cruiser San Diego
was blown up on July 10.
The Sommerstad, whose crew Of 81
was brought here today, was under
charter to the United States Shipping
Board. The vessel was on the way
from Bergen, Norway, to New York,
in ballast.
Captain Hansen, master of the ship,
said she was sunk at o'clock yester-
day morning. The crew took to the
boats and later were picked up by a
passing vessel.
The Sommerstad was built at New
castle, England, in 1906, and was
owned by A. F. Klaveness & Co.
Washington, Aug. 13.---The Norwe-
gian steamer Sommerstad was torpe-
doed without warning and sunk by
a German submarine yesterday morn
ing, % miles southeast of Fire Island,
n. Y, the Navy department was ad-
vised today by the commandant of
the Third Naval District. Captain
Fdnser and 80 members of the crew
were rescued by naval patrol boat
and taken to port. There were no
casualties.
The captain reported that he saw
the wake of a torpedo and immedi-
ately reversed engines. The torpedo
passed under the bow of the vessel
which was drawing only seven feet
of water. Full speed ahead was then
ordered but the torpedo turned sharp
ly to the left and returned, hitting the
vessel behind the third and fourth
holds on the port side.
The force of the explosion tore
great hole in the side and in five min
utea the whole deck amidships was
awash. The crew succeeded in launch
ing two boats and got away in safety.
They saw the vessel go down stern
first and finally stand almost upright
in the water about IA feet of the bow
being visible. The crew made for
Sandy Hook and sighted the patrol
boat ten hours later.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO, December 2S.-Efforts of

At first all deliveries of corn. barring
only December. had downward slant
owing to predictions that after New
Year large crop movement would
take place. Subsequently, however.
the fact became evident that the con-
gestion in December contracts had af-
fected the January delivery, inasmuch
IS January shorts were experiencing
difficulty in covering, although the
scarcity of sellers was of lesser de-
gree than in the December option. A
good bulge in prices for both months
followed, and for February as well.
Rallies took place also in March and
May. but the upturns were insufficient

earlier weakness.
Improved domestic demand gave in

Review of Metal Trade.

Little business was reported dur
ing the week in iron and steel. while
producers and consumers awaited
events of an open market on the turn
OF the year.
The transition period in the steel
industry is being marked by an in
creasins number of employees released
from 100 rer cent war production.
The new schedule of reduced prices is
viewed favorably by majority of
the leading steel interests. In aadi-
lion there Il some hope entertained
hat the mes contract form will be
made operative before the end of Jan
nary. Demand for steel is slight at
present. but inquiries are heard for
ONE grades. such as plates and struc-
tural steel.
The iron situation continues strong.
with many plants already booked
through the first half of 1919. Price
reyisions will no doubt be made on
new business after the first of the
year. The coke problem is as yet I'M
solved, but there is some talk of the
ending of price control December 81.
Light Domestic Demand for Copper.
The. domestic demand for copper is
light, consumers being willing to hold
IF until the trend of prices becomes
clearer. There is a feeling that the
domestic market will follow the level
If % cents fixed as an export price
Tor the first quarter of 1919.
The tin deadlock is still unbroken.
.;ince the war industries board has
not granted the demands of the tin
importers. Trading in the local mar
ket is inactive, and prices quoted
yange from $3.50 cents for wholesale
OTIS of 80 per cent to 71.5o cents for
i,ure tin.
Consumers apparently are taking lit
lie interest in the lead market. Prices
ave dropped half a cent in the first
week of optn trading. Spelter is a

Basic Conditions Rat-d Sound.

Domestic basic conditions are re-
sarded as eminently sound. but labor
problems and readjustment of prices
of essential commodities press for
increased recognition, as is evidenced
Ivy the pause in the steel and iron
trade.
Excepting the comparatively small
EroUp OF international bankers. little
interest is manifest in the forthcom-
ing peace conference, although a
growing appreciation is felt respect
ing the chaotic conditions in central
eastern Europe.
Greater concern is evinced in the
future of the transportation industry,
bur the executives of the railroads
are more hopeful. as indicated by
thei- latest attitude, of early con-
structive legislation which will re-
move all probability of a five-year
extension of government control.
