Better War Reports .
Improved Stock Prices
(dMsrisMs' Prtu Ktfort.)
NEW YORK. May 11. Greater confi-
dence in the outcome of the war. Improv-
ing crop and trade conditions and tha
more harmonious relatione between tha
federal government and financial and In-
dustrials accounted very largely for tha
substantial advances in aecuritiea Last
week to the accompaniment of vary
heavy dally dealings.
Other factors which -exerted more or
leas effect on the movement were tha
passage of the Overman bill and tha
establishment of the warlflnance board on
a definite basis clearing the way for fu-
ture issues of securities. Speculative en-
thusiasm at times -exceeded the bounds
of discretion but selling of long stock by
conservative interests together with a
word of caution from tha banks eft acted
a much needed readjustment.
Even at the reversals which marked
some of the more active Issues la the
later trading the average of prices was
tha highest of the year here and there
ahowlng new maximuma for almost two
years.
Steel Mills Devote
Time to War Orders
(ifusrissrd Prtu JtfSsrt.)
NEW YORK May II. Details of tba
conference at Washington oa Friday are
lacking but proposals for control by tha
government of tne industry are said to ba
under consideration. The assumption la
that the government steel demands are
so heavy that tha authorities evidently
consider araetic measures necessary.
Steel interests however believe they
can meet tha situation If fully advised of
national requirements. A survey of tba
Industry haa therefore bean ordered un-
der direction of a Joint committee -of
board membera and steel manufacturers.
Mills continue to devote their entire
output to government orders and out-
side deliveries ara subject to approval by
the-director of steel supplies.
