QUALITY TELLS
ORDERS FOR BRITISH STEEL ■ tinltod Service. ('•Received 7th September, 2 p.m.) LONDON, 6th September. The superior quality of British steel has won the Tynesido tho biggest contract for several years. Messrs. Dorman Long state that-they have received tho South African Government's order for 47,000 tons of rails. It is recalled that South Africa's last railway order was placed Jn Germany on account of cheapness; but proved uneconomical eompar-
Ed with Iho harder wearing, though costlior, British materials. Tho same reason is apparently filling the British shipyards. Ten out of Harland and Wolff's fourteen Belfast slips aro filled with over a quarter of a million tons of new shipping. Tho majority of theso ships are for foreign owners.
