DEPRESSION MEETS
SHIPBUILDERS AGAIN
Only Germany Shows Any Ac-
tivity-Subsidy Would
Relieve America.

Statements by the American Bureau
OF Shipping that no orders for seagoing
vessels had been placed in American
shipyards in September showed that
shipbuilding, after a squirt of activity,
is again in depression.
As builders prices tumbled early this
year, operators of coastwise, inland and
other special shipping placed orders TO
fill the gaps in their fleets resulting
from the war. Most OF these require
ments appear to have been met and no
demand for deep sea tonnage has yet
relieved the builders.
This is not merely local condition,
but one affecting every foreign mari
time nation, with the notable exception
OF Germany. Naval construction has
been suspended and 100000 tons of
shipping are idle in the harbors OF the
world.
This is not merely local condition
OF the standard modern type exceeds by
40 per cent. the price it can bring in the
open market, and therefore no orders
are being placed for this tonnage. There
has been a fair amount of passenger
construction in British yards. but to-
day the ways at Belfast are 80 per
cent. idle and the passenger yards on
the Clyde and Tyne are scarcely as
well off
Freight ship values have remained for
Year at 1872 levels, though still above
the low of 1908. Sales of cargo vessels
not over five years old, about 800 gross
tons and fitted for general tramp serv-
Ice. have avera ged sS7 a ton, prices
abroad being slightly higher than here,
due to the fact that the Shipping Board
is selling TO market mainly restricted
to buyers prepared to operate under the
American flag.
Ships of the same type probably could
be built in Great Britain for $50 n ton,
and in the United States for $50 q ton.
These quotations represent the desperate
need of builders for work to keep their
organizations intact. and yet they do
not approach the market price. An
executive OF one OF England's big yards
has said that no builders in the world
to-day could close a contract for a new.

the current price OF a ready ship under

enterprise. in fact. is at such a pitch of
prosperity that the late enemy Is cur
rently the biggest buyer of British ton
mage. Most of the demand, however,
is for old and semi-obsolete ships that
are reconditiosed cheaply in German
yards.
American shipbuilders entertain hopes
denied to most of the foreign builders.
The passage of the subsidy bill in its
present form, which is now regarded
as extremely likely, would be followed
quickly by orders for passenger ships
of a wide variety of sizes and types.
and by extensive contracts for recon-
ditioning freight ships withdrawn from
idleness or Government service and
transferred to private hands.

GREAT NORTHERN
DECLARES DIVIDEND
Payment to Be Made Semi
Annually, Not Quarterly.

Directors of the Great Northern Rail-
way Company yesterday declared a
seni-annual dividend of 31a per cent
on it's preferred stock, payable August
!. to shareowners of record. June 30
This disbursement is the regular Z per
cent. annual rate. which formerly has
been paid quarterly, and is the first pay
ment to be made on the semi-annuai
basis. 1t brings the company's total div
idend payment for 1922 up to 5A per cent.
since the first quarters dividend was
"a per cent, and the next semi-annual
disbursement will not be due until
February /, 1923.
The appearances of the announcement
on the news tickers early in the after
noon was the signal for a sharp recov-
cry in the prices of transportation
stocks. Great Northern itself taking the
lead with a gain of more than four
points. to $50 share.
Although the Great Northern's net
earnings in the first four months of
1922 were considerably below the amount
necessary to show a per cent. annual
rate on its stock, even when allowance
is made for the seasonal variation of
traffic. yesterdays action OF its board
was Interpreted in the financial COM
munity TO mean that the roads outlook
for substantial gains in gross and net
earnings In the last eight months of the
year was better than had been generally
thought
In this connection It was pointed ont
that Great Northern's net earnings in
the last two-thirds OF 1922 must exceed
those of thes same period last year by
80 per cent to show per cent. on Its
stock, unless more than 10 per cent is
received in dividends on it's Burlington
stock

TRADE MOST STABLE
SINCE WAR, SAYS BANK
Coal, Rail and Textile Situa-
tionS Are Drawbacks NoSU.

Industrial stability has been more
nearly attained in the last thirty days
than at any other time since the begin
ming of the world war. according to a
report of current market conditions
issued by the National Bank of Com
merce in New York. 1t continues:
Some industries have shown mod
crate gains. in others conditions have
altered but little and in few lines a
seasonal dullness has occurred. The un-
favorable factors in the situation are the
continued deadlock in the coal strike and
in the textile mills of New England and
threats of strikes by those classes of
railroad labor affected by recent de-
cisions of the United States Railroad
Labor Board.
Iron and steel output for May showed
further gains. Automobile production
during May established new high re-
cords. The rubber manufacturing in
dustry is sharing in the activity in au
tomobile manufacturing. In the shoe in
dustry there is evidence of slowly i'm
proving demand.
"In the textile and related industries
the foremost problem is whether the
higher prices resulting from rising costs
Of raw materials can be passed on to the
consumer. The wool trade is operating
nearly at capacity. The cotton textile
industry in the South is active but
strike conditions continue to prevail In
New England
THE cement, lumber and brick indus
tries have met with some difficulty in
satisfying demand. The distribution of
agricultural implements continues to be
fairly active
