Hadfields bid $237 lower on each 16Jnnh shall anrl Slii Inirar nn oo/?h 14-inch shell than any American manufacturer. Officials of the Navy Department and naval officers expressed no concern to-day over the possibility of criticism if the contracts are awarded to the English bidder. In any event it is believed the English concern will be awarded contracts for some shells of both sizes. Up-to-date Hadfield has furnished the navy with 600 shells. Of these, 100 were test projectiles for 14-inch guns,and500 were 12-inch projectiles. According to ordnance experts of the navy "these projectiles were of a Gr IfW I ^X/:E LLLJ iportan ment, the bef we can Send u ments, Printet * Pric< BR JCKER very high class and satisfactory to the navy in every way. It was a bid by the English n anuifaeturers that pulled down prices for projectiles in January,1914. In 1912 | the cost of 14-inch projectiles furni ished to the navy by American manufacturers was $490 apiece. In January, 1914, 14-inch shells were I produced at $315 each. This drop j followed a bid by Hadfields, which i was away below the figure set by I American competitors.
