Stockholders Approve New
$500, 100000 Consolidated
Mortgage at Meeting.

rueene Grace, president OF the Beth

or. at special meeting in Newark yes
,.rday that the plants are turning out a
,.cord amount Of steel that gross busi-
nag, this year will run about 100000
NM and next year close to $500, 900. 900,
and that the company is now working
an orders amounting to approximately
ss5ooOo,ooo.
The largest representation Of stock In
the history Of the corporation appeared
Yesterday when the stockholders APP
nroyed the creation of a new 100000
900 consolidated mortgage and ratified
the pledsing of $7o.o0o,o00 Of bonds
under this mortgage in connection with
the recent sale OF S50.00o.000 per
cent. notes. The contract between the
CORPORATION and the syndicate which
purchased the notes was also approved.
Mr.. Graces remarks at the stockhold-
ers' meeting follow in part:
The corporations various plants Gre
now producing at capacity. and I be-
neve the same situation Is true through
out the entire steel industry. In fact
production Is what might be termed
100 per cent. There has been some in
reference to production, due to the ex-
cessive heat. and furnace operations
have been slowed up quite bit.
IT would say. as an estimate, that the
company's gross business this year will
run close to 5000. 900. 900. while in 1919
! would estimate they will be approx
mately $500, o00.0 900. The company's
orders ahead amount to about $3.50. 000.-

have $1,000 employees engaged at the
about 10000 in May. BY October l an
additional 5000 hands WIN be engaged
in the shipyards. bringing the total Ut
to 10000.
Our new Liberty plant at Alameda
Cal, will come in about the middle OF
1919. and this plant will require 10000
additional shipworkers The destroyer
programme is progressing satisfactorily
and on Tuesday last the Squantum
plant launched 10 second destroyer fol-
the United States navy. Work on de-
stroyers is being handled at the Union
Shipyards in San Francisco and at the
Fore River plant.
The new Squantum yard at Fore
River which cost about $l5,000.0 900. was
built and Is being operated for the navy
by the company. The work done at this
plant is considered the greatest accom-
plishment in naval construction work in
the world.
We broke ground at this plant In
October. 1917, and by October OF this
year we expect to have delivered the
first destroyer. completely fitted out and
ready for operation. Since the work
started we have installed complete

Opening Decline Gives Way to
Sharp Advances in Fu-
ture Contracts.

A further decline at the opening OF
the cotton market yesterday was fol-
lowed by very sharp rallies on the UNI
satisfactory character of the weather
news from the Southwest. December
contracts. for instance. sold up from
2715c. to 2S.25c. making an advance of
over S. a bale from tho low level OF the
morning and OF about 81 points from the
closing price of Wednesday. The deliv-
cry closed at 1880. and the general list
closed steady at a net advance OF 10 to
80 points, having eased off from the best
under realizing promoted by late private
reports OF rains in one of the larger pro-
ducing counties of Texas
There was a renewal OF Wednesday q
selling movement at the opening, and II
anything the early weather map rather
encouraged the hope of better weather
In Texas. Some rain was reported at
Amarillo and Oklahoma. and there was
n low barometer over the western part
OF Texas But the early offerings were
readily absorbed. suggesting that the de-
cline OF nearly cents a pound from the
high records had left steadier technical

have been some buying on the favorable

not particularly active or general. but
offerings were light and October sold up
to 2S.62c, while January touched 2S.1sc..
or 81 to 60 points net higher and about
40 points above the low level OF the
morning. The close showed reactions OF
some 20 to 80 points from the best.
There was further talk of increased
spot offerings and an easier basis. and
there were bearish reports from Fail
River to the effect that Southern ship
pers were Offering cotton in transit and
for forward shipment, as well as from
warehouses there. According to these
adv!ces there is more unsold cotton In
the Fall River warehouses than at any
previous time on record. At the same
time, there was very little Southern sell
ing around the ring. and In the absence
of pressure from that source offerings
were held in check by the fear OF further
crop deterioration in the Southwest. Nc
exports were reported. Southern spot
