sHIPYARD CONTRACTS.

The Pensacola Shipbuilding Co. has
landed contracts for four big bridges,
totaIing approximately 100000. These
contracts will require $50 days to COM
plete and therefore guarantee work
for large force of men for practically
an entire year. While only the biggest
of the four bridges will require so long
a time to build, two of them will re-
quire 800 days and the fourth, a small
er structure, will require $50 days.
These four contracts mean much
to Pensacola. They mean that for the
next year the shipyard is assured OF
a fair amount of work and that num-
bers of men will be employed at good
wages. But more than this, which in IT.
self is a small item, the landing Of
these four contracts indicates that the
local shipbuilding company has fully
completed its reorganization and is
now competent to reach out into the
general field of construction work with
perfect assurance of being able to
complete its contracts.
For many months Capt. Stewart has
been successfully bidding for the con-
struction of bridges and other public
and private works requiring fabricated
fsteel, and these last four contracts are
located as conclusive proof of the wis
dom of his policy to tackle any sort
of job that would furnish employment
for his plant and his men.
The shipyard has kept together a
competent force of workmen and has
maintained its engineering staff at a
high degree of efficiency in order to be
IN a position to bid for structural work.
Capt. Stewards policy has resulted in
the shipyard furnishing constant en-
ployment to fair sized force while
many other shipyards have been
forced to suspend operations entirely.

T Al LIZ RES IN THE UNITED
STATES

With a reduction in the number of
failures of S.S per cent, and an increase
OF $50 per cent in the amount of la
bilties, commercial failures in the
United States during May reversed the
tendency of the Immediately preceding
month. Aside from April, the number
of defaults has fallen steadily this
year, but several insolvencies OF ex-
ceptional size have kept the liabilities
at high level, and a single failure
alone supplied nearly one-third of last
months aggregate. While the 1856
defaults reported in May are 131 less
than those of the previous month, the
$51O66,471 of indebtedness is fully
$18,o00,000 above the April figures, and
also exceeds all former May totals. The
numerical comparison with the Nav
statistics of earlier years is likewise
unfavorable, last months insolvencies
being the largest on record for the
period, excepting May of 1916, 1915
and 1908, and present returns make a
striking contrast with only SAT failures
for $10,S26,2T7 Of May, 1920. Relatively
the greatest increase over the low NOR
tally of year ago is the liabilities,
due mainly to the heavy amount in
volved by the defaults of unusual mag
nitude. Thus, 81 insolvencies for 500,
600 or more in each instance in May,
this year. involved $50, 404.1S8 alto
gether, whereas in that month of 1920
there We're only II such failures for
little more than $500, 600. Most of the
large defaults last month occurred
in manufacturing lines, but the class
designated as "other commercial
which embraces agents brokers and
other concerns that cannot be properly
included in either manufacturing or
trading, provided much the heaviest
proportion of the indebtedness.
