worthy inquiry for biI1ets has come
from Belgium and $500 tons of
Bessemere bars are asked for for
the French government. Ship plates
are being sought for both China and

Illustrating the rapid Transformation
in wire is the fact that a leading in

weeks ago and today is running 100
per cent. on commercial orders.
Almost forgotten, the Charleston,
w. Va, naval ordnance project comes

Of structural steel on which bids will
be received Nov. 81.
Pig iron products in various districts
are strenuously opposing cancellations
even where the government has
suspended work on the castings for
which the pig iron was bought. The
argument of the foundries is that
while the iron might be used on ordi-
nary work, they expect to be able to
buy it at lower than present govern
ment prices. The slogan throughout
the pig iron trade is mo cancellation
without ompensation.'
The effects of the stoppage of gov
eminent work are not pronounced as
yet, but some men are appearing every
day at steel works gates seeking en-
ployment. There is some noticeable
change also in the attitude of work
men, both as to amount of output and
compliance with discipline.
AS to prices buying is with such
care, and so far for immediate needs,
that little change has developed eX-
cept in scrap. Here a yielding of S
to So a ton has been seen on heavy
melting steel, and the softening in old
materials is likely to go farther.
Automobile manufacturers seem to
be making all haste to resume normal
activities, and are urging prompt
shipments of sheets.
The semi steel shell program, which
looked to the turning out of no less
than 30,00O,000 shells by foundries,
has been abandoned and many thou
sands of tons of pig iron allocated for
this purpose disappeared from the
books.
The Lake iron ore shipping season
will be practically over by the end of
the week. The total will probably fall
somewhat below the 62,5O0,OOO tons
moved by water in 1917.

Philadelphia, Nov. 21.-The well

those in the shipyards of the emer-

pruning knife as a result of the res
toration of peace.
This is the announcement made to-
day by Howard Coonley, vice president
of the corporation. This does not
mean, Mr.. Coonley said. that welfare
work will be dispersed with in the
yards. 1t does mean that the trim
mings such as baseball, boxing and
other athletic sports will be elin1inat-
ed.
There will be no change in the per-
sonnet of the construction forces.
On the contrary, more and more men
will be added to this branch of the
work. Sudden changes are not to be
expected. The process of readjust-
m nt to peace time &C nditicns will be

Another 100000 tons were locked up

fore estimate their losses anywhere
from one-half to two-thirds. The ex-
tent of their shipbuilding since the

estimates, based on ships building
when the war began, are between
100000 and 100000 tons.
The expense involved in rebuilding
the mercantile marine will be enor-

many of the larger concerns have in

The decision of those in control of

chant ship, railroad and navy material

ing enlarged, and new ones are being
planned. Many of the great munitions
manufacturers are making arrange
ments to enter the shiphuiding field
as soon as the war ends. The big
banks are interested as never before
in promoting these ventures
Among the schemes to encourage
shipbuilding is the establishment Of ii
shp-mortgage bank for the beneh of
those who lack sufficient capital h.
fore the war this class was dependent
upon the Dutch ship-mortgage banks,
but the Dutch banks made advances
only when the prospective shipOwner
agreed to have the vessel built in Hol-
land. Germany proposes not only to
| build her own ships, but also to have
whatever profit there may be in ship
mortgage banking.
During the war Germany has inn
posed the most drastic, regulations
upon tie shipping interests. Both ex-
ports and imports have been subjected
to the closest scrutiny, ard one very
keen observer in Sweden believes that
this supervision has been Intensified
not only for the purpose OF grinding
every possible penny out OF adjacent
neutral countries, but also TO prepare
"a highly organized weapon of eco
nomc warfare, used in all nearby neu-
| weather eye to the expected economic
war after the war"
TO make the continuance Of such an
organization more juStitiahIe the Gov
eminent authorities are now carefully
cultivating the idea that the proper
distribution Of available cargo space Is
a most important element 10 the eco
nomics of transition. While this dis
tribution is being planned by the Ger
man Shipping Association, a specially
organized central office for cargo
space, and by the Clearing House for
Mercantile Tonnage, the object OF
which is to take such action at the va
rious German ports as will insure the
best possible use of the merchant ton
mage calling there, there is no doubt
that the operations of both these or
CARNATIONS of shipping men will be
absolutely controlled by the Imperial
Government.
First of all the proposed new feet
will be used to bring food and raw
materials into Germany the moment
war ends. Then 1T will become the
means of taking German products to
other countries. Nowhere do the ship
ping plans Of Germany disclose any
intention except benefit to Germany
Germany first and Germany alone.
The idea Of helping to assuage some
part of the suffering she has inflicted
on the world apparently never has en-
tered the mind of q single responsible
person in the Empire. The nature of
service as used by the statesmen who
sneak for America and the Entente
Allies is apparently unknown there.

began and the discussion of how to
