VTeei shipbuilder mar negotiate
contracts with foreign Intereita and
they may cone tract Teasels with as
surances they will be free of requisi
tion, the transfer of flags being poasi-
ble. if permission is first obtained from
the Shipping Board, according to a pri
vale message received yesterday, in
letter from Charles Pies. Tica-presldent
f the Emergency Fleet Corporation.
the builders are told they may con
struct vessel for domestic or foreign
account eaual to the amount of -ton
rage on which work was ordered sua-
rsded 19 days ago.
Mr. Pies wrote under date of No
ember It, the day after the suspen
ion Instructions were Issued, and be
referred to the communication as being
a reply to one sent by the Oregon
NVood Shipbuilders Association No
vember 1. in which it was requested
that the probable future of the Gov
ernment's programme be made known.
The letter follows:
The decision not to extend tbe weed ship
programme, and. la fact, to reduce that ai
ready arranasd for. is due to two tacts:
First That both tbe Lake yards and tbe
wood yards of tbe country bays ef neces
sity confined their construction to vessels
nndar eooo tons dsaoweignt. tm activnj
of tbsse yards will produce a flsst of about
JIM ef these ! a number greatly In
excess ef those which .we caa profitably
. employ. Tbe decision that nas forced upon
the board was. therefore, to curtail toe pro
gramme for tbe steel ships bulldlnr la the
Las.ee and tbe wood ships building en the
Atlantic and Pacific Coins
Second That tbe wooden ships have been
proaounced by our operating division purely
emergency ships, without much commercial
value under competitive coaamous.
While tbe board of trustees bas dictated
the policy la respect of curtailment and
cancellations. It Is ery mindful ef the sen-
oral disturbance to industry ana. particu
larly, to tbe employment of labor wblcb
wholesale cancallations may result In: snd
while. In accordance with Its instructions,
wa ara ndesvortn to so arrangs tbls pro
gramme of retrenchment that there will be
aa llttls as possible dlaturoanee ana asrausv
tnant In tbe labor and business market, the
board la. nevertheless, convinced that It
would be unwise to proceed with tbe con
struction ef a larre number ef vessels thst
at the time of their completion would prove
unprofitable Investments le tbe Government.
Orders for the ean-l!atlon of almost 150
wooden ships. In addition to the barges al
ready canceled, have been received from the
board and teterrama suspending operations
in resard to these vesse's wers ssnt today.
We desire that shipbuilders will prepare a
statement of the work already done and the
money already expended en tbe hulls thus
suspended, and that ws may make proper
adjudication of them. In the meantime,
wood shipbuilders are gives aa opportunity
in securs orders tor an equivalent tonnage
for private or foreign account, this con
stituting. In fact, permission to sell the eon
tracts for the veasels suspended by today's
ordsr. If buyers can be found. If you de
find as opportunity for such sola, pit
advise promptly, eendlng such advice te

Shipping Board. Washington. D. C-. who bas
char re of the granting ef the necessary per
mits Please bear m mind thst tbe subject ef

6hip Built Before War Show Quali
ties That Insure 6 access.
In the opinion of W. R. Hewitt, ma
rine superintendent for the Charles R.
alcCormick fleet, the wood ship Indus
try is firmer today than ever, for 'he
feels that the vessels built before the
war and during the flist two years have
proved fully their adaptability to Pa
clflo trade requirements, and. in the
main, have given every indication of
durability tn line with what waa ac
complished In former days with wood
carriers.

Marine Preferred Is Striking Excep
tlon to General Strength Dur
ing Early Part of Session.
NEW YORK, Dec 3. Trading in stocks
today was moderately active ana oroaa,
the movement tendlngnupward until the final
hour, when prices facted one to three
points among rails, oils and specialties.
The one striking exception to tne gen
eral strength of the forenoon and mid
session waa furnished by Marine preferred,
which was under constant pressure at an
extreme reversal of 614 points, only part
of which was regained.
Investment rails failed to extend their
advance of yesterday, displaying occasional
restraint, nrobablv because oi tne contact
ing opinions prevalent regarding the Gov
ernment's attitude toward "modified pri
vate ownership."
Steels and the entire metal division were
firm to strong, their improvement being
explained later by the action of the War
Industries Board, which llxea domestic
prices for pig tin. thereby offering hope
of further stabilization of affiliated com
modi ties.
Leather, papers and distilling Issues moved
to higher level. Sales amounted to 575,000
shares.
Dealings in bonds were contracted and
uncertain, internationals ruling higher, while
domestic issues varied. The liberty group
was again heavy, with a new minimum
for the fourth 4 Vis at $96.58. Total sales,
par value, aggregated $9,875,000.
