The situa tion tvs carefully gone over at a con-1 ference of the war industries board nd the steel committee of the American 'Iron and Steel Institute at Washington j The demands of the Allies for the .last six months of this ear hae reached upwards of I'O.OUO.OOO tons, ulth ' Indications that they will shortly move ' ' beyond the 25,000, 000-ton mark. The aoute shortage of steel made It apparent that a more thorough method ' of distributing available supplies was .necessary. It was decided that the re quirements of the railroads In the , United States were to recede first con- aideratlon and that their requirements ,I3sinCsS R;,llcr MixCtl, But we aicit iuii ptiuiii.i. The shipyards which areturnlng out merchant vessels were placed second in order and the War and Navy Depart ment requirements were ghen third and fodrth' place respectively. Government olllclals have acrocd upon suprogram which they regard as neces A sary' to rellee the present situation. JThis program proposes first of all a much greater conversion of the mills of the country to the production of steel required for the carrying out of the war program. This will necesslly entail the I 'elimination of many kinds of steel not essential to war work. ' Another feature of the Government program regards as necessary an In crease In the coal supply particularly that of by-product coal available for mills engaged In war work. This wlll.be undertaken through the 'further curtailment of coal for nonessen tial lines, the commandeering of hoarded New York, Aup. -i. Good news continued to come on the stock market 'in an avalanche, with a new factor presented in the action taken esterday by the Morgan firm In announcing its leadiness to become a markei for acceptances at the rate of 4 per cent. This was construed as meaning a removal of the restraint placed on Wall street accommodation by the Clearing House policy and left nothing on which bear operations can now be based. From the opening there was a strong tone In evidence, with the rail road stocks In the best demand because of the general belle'f that Direc tor McAdoo will present contracts for Government operations for ap proval early next week, and that list generally was established at the highest prices reached &o far this year. Canadian Pacific maintained its position as an Ideal peace stock and made a further gain of oa points, helling at 17"7 at the end of 'he fit st hour of trading. 1'nlun l'Ji'lhc and St. t'aul sold at new high recoids for the veai and gains of atound 1 point were made In Heading and man. other of the lejding raihojd issues Most market importance, however, was attached to the suddenly de veloped demand for United States Steel common, which rose i points to 114, passing the high record of the year of 1131;, made on May 16. Hallway Steel Spring moved up 1 point, and there was urgent busing of other steel industrials at advancing prices. The advances were In many cases due to acute uneasiness among those heavily short of the various active stocks, but the scant supplj, w hich has been noted from time to time, gave these bears .little oppor tunity to cover except at sharp advances. The trading in bonds was bmall, with Liberty 3's ranging from 102.40 to 10:: 3S. Hallway and other bonds were firm.
