ShipbuiIding
1940 Profit Equal

Bv the Associated Press.

Bs the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 18-The
Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry
Dock Co. today made public for the
first time an annual report of oper-
ations which showed 1910 profit
OF S4,383,176, equal after preferred
dividend requirements to S497
share on the common stock.
The company has been operating
for more than so years, but it was
privately owned until August, 1910,
when a syndicate of investment
firms acquired control and dis
tributed securities to the public.
Because of changes in the COM
pany's capital structure incident to
the shift of ownership, 1899 COM
parative figures were not available.
A report released at the time of this
transfer showed 1889 net income of
$2.480,111.
Unbilled balance of shipbuilding
contracts at December 81, 1910, to-
tailed S449, ,604 462, against S111,151.-
312 on January l, 1940 Unco,n-
pleted contracts at the end of the
year included one battleship, eight
aircraft carriers, four light cruic-~s
and five C-3 passenger vessels for
the United States Maritime Corn
mission.
An accompanying letter to tie
stockholders, signed by Homer L.
Ferguson, president, said:
''At the present time all the COM
pany's eight shipways are in active
use. To expedite the construction
of the II naval vessels contracted
for in 1910, installation in the COM
pany's yard of certain special addi-
tional facilities was begun last Sep
tember.
'The cost of these facilities is not
to exceed s14,000,000 and will be
borne in full by the Navy Depart
ment, which will own the facilities.
They include principally two large
modern submerged shipways, upon
which work is being urgently pressed
in order to have both in use by
pier, shops, warehouses, machine
tools and handling equipment"
Regarding the company's contract
for 25 cargo vessels for the Maritime
Commission, which will be built at
the company's new yard at Whining
ton, N. c., Ferguson said "a maxi
mum of about 1000 employees will
probably be required at the VIII
mington shipyard"

New York Cotton
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, March 18-Cotton
futures turned upward today on
persistent trade and mill price fix
ing, together with general buying
from other sources.
Technical consideration, strength
in other markets and indications of
further sharp expansion in do
mestic industrial activity under the
lease-lend bill stimulated demand.
Offerings were light and mostly
scale-up hedging and profit taking
sales. Renewed agitation for higher
farm income despite administration
opposition also aided sentiment.
Midafternoon prices were up II
to IA points, with May at 1914, Octo-
ber at 1861 and December at 1861.
Following announcement that
$100,000,000 of the lend-lease funds
