eclipse the record of 1899 and 1900.
"Wtll Enlace-; Plants.
Reports from different parts' of th
country reveal strong efforts to Improv
and extend existing plant with tha
prophesy that th productive capacity of
th United States will hav been Increased
by 1917 at th rat of 4,000,000 tons an
nually. Apart from the direct effects of
tha'Riiropcan' war, th Industry has been
arlven a tremendous Impetus by the order
placed for equipment by th land and
water transportation companies which are
almost swamped by an unprecedented
volume of trcffld.
It I estimated that 40 per cent of
contracts for railroad equipment and for
steamships calllngr for 300,000 tons ot steel
at a coat of 1136.000,000 for construction
have been let, Th orders booked by

500,000 and locomotive builders hav ac
cepted contracts invollng a total of 119,'
600,000. . . . - .
Many Contracts tor Ship.
In th ship building Industry every
American yard Is said to b enrared to
Its fullest capacity for several year.
Orders hav been placed for forty-three
boats sine January 1 and 134 ships ar
already under contract. 275 for the mer
chant marine and fifty-nine for the United
States government.
It Is estimated that forty per cent ot
the export, steel sale have been for th
manufacture of war munition In Europe.
In addition, heavy sale hav been mad
to domestic manufacturer of shrapnel
and high explosive shells which will
eventually find their wy across th
Atlantic.
February's sale of war munitions are
estimated at 360,000 tons for direct ex
port and total war sales since th first
of th year at 600,000 tons.
Eauort Order Ar Large. ,
On Indication of th mighty effect
ot th European war on. the steel In,
dustry la shown tin flrures presented by
the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
commerce, which shows that th total
foreign shipments tn 1915 war 3,613.463
tons, an lncru of S3 per cent over th
previous maximum established In 1913 and
nearly 135 per cent greater than th
exports la Wit As the total domestlo
and foreign shpimenta In 1915 were ti
mated at 24.000,000 tons, thu exports were
Hi per cent ef th who) aa against 10
per cent in ordinary years.
Th prosperity in th steel market ho
