PRIVATE DEMAND STILL CONSIDERED
 IN STEEL MARKET
While Government Business Is Very Large Mills Are Taking Care of Other
 Orders

New York, May 13.-The United and more of factor in the steel in
 dustry as the needs of the army and navy departments become more clearly defined and specifications are dis tributed among the mills. Specifications for a little over 600,O00 tons of steel have been distributed and an equal ton- mage is expected to be placed in the next 30 days. In addition, the New York shipping board is preparing plans which will call for probably 100000 tons of steel plates and shapes in the next year.
 The steel mills have made various reservations of capacity to be able to meet government requirements as gauged month or two ago, but with larger needs the mills are more re- served in accepting contracts for rolled products from manufacturing concerns. The Steel corporations subsidiary
 mills have not withdrawn from the market on rolled products to the 'ex- tent generally supposed, since the first of May. Thes American Steel and Wire company IS not accepting contracts
 from manufacturing consumers except where absolutely necessary, but cur
 rent orders accepted are about 50 per cent of capacity. The American Sheet Tin Plate company however is re- stricting new business more severely. The Carnegie Steel company, while refusing much business offered, is giv- ing assistance to locomotive builders
 who have taken contracts for about
 300 locomotives in the past 10 days, requiring about 60,000 tons of steel Car builders are not well represented in the market but have taken orders for 1850 cars this week and are undestood to have placed orders for about 25,000 tons of steel, shapes and plates. The navy department has taken bids on 2000 tons of steel for hangars at Pensacola and will receive tenders May 21, on 5200 tons of teel for additional improvements at the Norfolk navy yard.
 Shipments of rolled steel by the Steel Corporation in April were estimated at 10,300,000 tons, while orders exceeded 1,770.000 tons. Sales of pig iron this
 week amounted to 100000 tons.

LIQUIDATION OF
 RAILROAD STOCKS
 CONTINUES ACTIVE
Better Grade of This Class of Security Offered Free ly and Prices Reach
 Low Level

New York. May 13.-Liuuidation or high grade securities. including bonds,
 during the last week denoted the con
 cern felt by investors in connection
 with the governments attitude toward
 war taxation and revenues. Better
 grade rails were in free supply at
 concessions. which caused some of
 these issues to fall to the lowest prices
 in 10 to 20 years.
 Public utility stocks also weakened
 are calculated to put issues of that
 description to a severe test in the near future. Delay in the hearings before
 the interstate commerce commission
 and backward crop conditions were
 among the more adverse features. On the constructive side the United
 States Steel statement for April, with
 thrilled orders at their highest point, an all round advance in finished steel and iron and resumption of inquiry for refined copper offered further evil dence of the unabated activity in inn portant industrial lines.
 The various war issues held steady in the face of frequent bear attacks It is expected that the coming week will witness public announcement ol large government contracts for raw and manufactured supplies.
 The foreign situation developed no new features aside from the extreme , weakness of Russian exchange, which fell to about half it's parity" and the further assistance rendered to this country's allies by the treasury de-
 partment. The recurrent gold inflow from Canada. all to the credit of the
 British government, served as a par tial offset to the heavy purchases made in this market
 Arrangements for the public offer ing of the $2.000.000.o0O loan have been perfected to the point where dan- ger of financial stringency is no long CT apprehended. Time money worked slightly higher, with greater firm ness in call loans. Wall streets finan- cial commitments for speculative pur- poses are moderate. however, with no signs of undue expansion.

BULL|SH MARKET ID FOLLOW CONTINUED
 COLD WEATHER R
Further Peace Agitation Would Encourage Bulls. Fifteen to 30 Point
 Loss for Week
By "HOp''

New Orleans, May 13.-Although sell the first half of last week. the market gained strength later and closed at a net gain of nearly half a cent a pound on the most active months. The early selling was due to liquidations of long cotton and bearish sentiment resulting from loss of tonnage through work of submarines. Cold weather over the cotton belt turned sentiment in the mar ket and the weakened peace talk with improvement in the spot sentiment, and reports of large government orders for cloths being placed among mills, in- spired much buying.
 The lowest levels of the weeks prices showed a net loss of 15 to 30 points. From this the market moved up to a net gain of 54 to 55 points. The close showed net rise of 35 to 47 points. The range for the week was 69 to S5 points.
 The crop news of the week was high ly unfavorable, indicating much damage to young plants and considerable rot tins of seed in the ground, which re- suited in the claim that widespread re- planting would be necessary. This week, crop accounts will be eagerly watched. 1 Continued cold weather will inspire bull 1 lish sentiment and rainy weather will l be regarded as against the crop. Warm bright weather probably would lead to increased offerings from the bear ele- ment
 The bulls would be encouraged by further agitation for peace abroad and political news in this direction probably would prove more powerful than in any other.
 The week will open with the regular monthly report on American mill con sumption from the census bureau. Those who favor higher prices think it will show large consumption for April.

Washington, May APPROPRIATIONS
to register 100000 young men for
military service June are proceeding
swiftly throughout the country. Ad,
vices reaching the war department
show that ~ states are ready to pro-
cess with the work.
The reports mean that nationwide
machinery stands ready to take the
military census in the shortest time
ever allowed for such a huge under
taking, one 14-hour day.
The efficiency of the plan rests up.
on it's simplicity. The scheme is to CO.
ordinate the vast electoral machinery
of every state under one central ALL
thority No matter what popularity
of election system any state may have,
it will function perfectly in the ma
tional registration scheme. Supervised
decentralization is what has been &C.
complished, according to the reports
today.
All doubts as to the wisdom Of
turning this task over to the states,
was dispelled by the nature of the
governors messages. A fine spirit Of
cooperation and desire to join in the
national team work for which the
president has asked in his proclama-
nation, has been displayed.
When a men is absent from his
home precinct he can register by 60
ing to the county auditor of the city in
which he is sojourning, and making
out his registration card there. The
auditor will then give him card and
he is obliged to send that to the regis
trar of his home precinct and get it
there by June 5.
The registration certificates are
granted only by the registrars of the
home precinct and are not given out
by the auditor. In order to receive
this he must send an addressed
stamped envelope.
The county auditor is prepared now
to take care of anybody in his iuris-
diction and the sooner they apply the
sooner they can be accommodated and
the more time they will have to get
it to their home precinct.
