NJ BRoADAs WALL.

New York. July as.-In q quiet mar
ket today stocks were strong under
leadership Of United States Steel.
Sepcialties attracted most attention
and several Of them seemed to be
made active by pools. In q few Of the
pools. activity seemed to be exerted
to prevent trading.
War news continued good, and as
there was an absence of liquidation,
1t is assumed that those persons who
prize American victories for the pur-
pose Of cashing In their profits have
sold out and that the long interest is
now under control Of real Americans.
For account OF the bears there IL
material short interest.
'One important concern Ii said to
have sold short contracts in steel
alone to the extent Of 10000 shares.
Action Of the market indicates that
the short interest in General Motors
has been run In.
Reason for the strength Of United
States Steel is the expressed belief in
high quarters that the unusual extra
dividend Of 8 per cent will be de-
clared thus leaving the stock on q
II per cent basis.
Output to be Increased.
encouragement to do this Is found
in the plans for the new tax law.
which will leave the steel company
double what it needs to maintain such
a dividend rate.
The announcement that steel output
must be increased also encourages the
declaration of such a dividend rate.
Tobacco Products made a new high
record and the preferred stock Of that
company was up four points.
A break of nine points in General
Motors brought the stock to 141. which
is IS points below the high record of
last week.
1t is announced that the Capital
Issues Committee at Washington has
approved the issue of stock in ex-
change for Chevrolet This may mean
an end Of the corner. but there Is no
assurance that the stock will be is
sued. The directors have never agreed
to issue it. They simply got permis-
sion from the stockholders.
Canadian Pacific stock continued
strong under influence Of an increase
OF freight rates to be made in the
Dominion.
Southern Pacific made a most excel
lent report for the year 1917.

A Considerable Undertaking.

A Considerable Undertaking..
This of itself was a considerable
undertaking. The magnitude of it
: is shown by the fact that nearly
100000 cubic yards of sand and
cinders were used. But the opera
tion did all the steel corporation
looked for. 1t filled in the great salt
meadows and II also dredged a
channel Of twenty-one feet depth at
low tide in front of the shipyards.
This was sufficient for launching
purposes.
The steel corporation never de-
lays after IL has once put its hand
to an undertaking. 1t caused the
first pile to be driven the first week
OF August OF last year. Not a mo-
nent since this was done had there
been any cessation of labor, moth
withstanding the fact that the
severe weather of last winter COW
cred the area with ice-or at least
that part of 1t over which water
fiowed-and at times the skilled
artisans were compelled to work
when the thermometer was below
zero.
Furthermore poor Transportation
somewhat delayed the work al
first, for the only communication
between the plant and Newark OF
New York was a trolley line. The
company secured a large number OF
automobiles and these were pressed
into transportation service. Now the
plant Is served by fifteen miles of
railroad tracks, that connect with
the main lines of two railroads.
OF course, for a site of that kind
it was necessary to go deep in order
to secure ade Iuate foundation, and
/. was decided to place the buildings
upon concrete foundations. To dc
that entailed the driving of nearly
200 concrete piles. So large are the
buildings that 1900 tons Of structural
steel were needed
Expert bridge builders and plate
rolling artisans were employed. and
there Is nothing in the form of ma
chinery or apparatus which is no,
OF the most modern design. 1t has
been necessary to establish a large
plate-rolling plant, and there Is none
in the country now which exceeds this
In capacity. II Is to be a great in
dustry As far as the employees are
concerned. When the plant is COM
pleted at least 1900 men will be en-
pIoYed there.
BY mid-August the corporation will
be ready to meet contracts which
when executed will be represented by
thirty vessels of nearly 10000 tons
deadweight and one is to be delivered
every two weeks. 1t has been evil
dent from the fnanner in which the
corporation has constructed this plant
that II has In view the future as well
40 the Immediate need for large ships.
The corporation no doubt expects to
Increase its foreign trade after the
war is ended, and IL there be ships
In plenty. that win be an the more

Ten Mnnon Already Invested.

Ten millions have already been in
vested in this plant and that large sum
has been necessary in view of the
iact that a year ago nothing was
there excepting a salt meadow cover
ed with weeds and sea grass. 1t Is a
plot Of ground which in the past man.
Ufacturers have looked at. but de-
Cided that it was unfit. When the
plant is completed it will represent
an investment of many additional
millions.
Judge Gary and his associates in
the Steel Corporation were persuaded
that its nearness to New York harbor
and other economic advantages justi-
fied the selection Of the site. although
il was evident that it would be nee
essary to fll in the entire surface
Economy In this work IL illustrated
by the fact that the corporation found
it possible to dredge the river for
nearly a mile and with the material
thus obtained to fill in the whole
area.

considerable addition to their feet
OF ocean-going steamers. The COM
pany Is preparing for conditions which
win confront US after the war is
over. It Is not building any steamers.
az present at least. but Is buying
lthena thus following the example Of
the founder Of the house, the late
I. william r. Grace, formerly Mayor of
New York. who bought four or i've
steamers for the purpose Of institut-
ing trade between the United States
and the west coast of South Amer
lea. and from time to time bought
more.
Mayor Grace always regretted that
because Of our navigation laws he
was unable to float the American nag
over his steamers. While he had in
mind the increasing OF his feet so
mat 1t would be adequate for trans
porting commodities exported from
the United States to the west coast
OF South America and bringing back
return cargo. he never contemplated
the organization Of a great ocean
going steamship line such as his sue
cessors in the control Of the COM
pany are now organizing.
o. 8. Steel Builds.
While this corporation is buying
steamers and has so greatly increas-
ed its fleet that a reorganization has
oeen advisable. whereby the ocean
going steamers will be under con-
troll Of a subsidiary company OF W.
r Grace and Company, the United
states Steel Corporation is now as
actively engaged in the production
OF ships as IL has ever been engaged
comparatively speaking. in any of
the various departments of this
great industry.
I The fundamental purpose which
underlies the establishment of q
very large shipbuilding plant at
kearny. n. J.. near Newark, is the
building OF a large fleet of steamers
which may be of avail in. carrying
our export trade after the war is
ended. The corporation purposes
the construction OF large steel
barges in addition to steamers. Its
plant near Newark involves the in
yestment of many millions of dol
lars, which the company will pro-
vide out OF its own resources.
The rapidity with which this cor
poration has established one OF the
worlds largest shipbuilding plants
near Newark is matched by the eff
cheney with which the structive
work is characterized. The plant is
so established that the various
buildings will be available for ship
construction years after the Euro
pean war is ended. A few days ago,
within q year after the first work
upon this plant was begun. IL was
possible to launch a new ship of q
capacity OF $500 tons, which is
named Liberty" Yet II was less
than a year. about eleven months,
ago when the corporation began
work upon the site of this great
shipyard. How large IL Is may be
suggested by the fact that It oc-
Cupies 200 acres and has a frontage
Of almost exactly a half mile on

 APPLICATION FOR TITLE

DOUGLAS, Aug. 30.-Commission- CT John Henson stated this morning that there were still in the neigh borhood of 30 or 35 property holders who had not applied for patent to their property. \
 Among some of the important lots not yet applied for, is that of the Lutheran Church, as well as other important lots which if not applied for soon will be advertised by the townsite trustee for sale. This will necessarily incur advertising and court expenses the same as in de linquent tax matters, so all those who have neglected to apply for their patent or deeds to their property from the townsite trustee, should dc so within the next few days before advertising and sale expenses ac- crue.
