Stock Prices Advance
Further in Fresh
Burst Of Buying
By the Associnfad Press

NEW YORK, Jan. GA mid
morning burst of buying put a little
life into an advancing stock market
today.
In early morning dealings prices
tended upward but at a sluggish
pace. The sudden expansion in de-
mand lifted quotations fractions to
more than point. Activity quieted
soon after noon.
The rally was continuation of a
forward move which accompanied
the Presidents message to Congress
yesterday.
An air of relief is apparent in Wall
Street now that the bad news is out
and the next question is how much
OF the Presidents program will be
approved by Congress.
Higher prices were paid for Beth
lehem Steel, Republic Steel, Santa
Fe, Baltimore & Ohio, Chesapeake
g. Ohio, Standard Oil New Jersey !,
Gulf Oil. United Air Lines, Cen
eral Motors, Chrysler, Cerro de
Pasco, Goodyear, United States Rub
ber, Montgomery Ward, Lockheed,
Schenley, Electric Power & Light,
American Can. General Electric,
Philip Morris, Radio Corp, Amer
lean Tobacco and International
Paper.
Childs Co. reached a new high
1or 1889, with 3-point gain
at S. A small decline put Yale
& Towne at the years low.
Corporate bonds tended upward,
United States Governments held
steady in over-the-counter dealings.
Marked up in the Curb were
Colts Mfg, United Shoe Ma
chinery, Niagara Hudson Power, In
ternational Utilities, Electric Bond
& Share and Cities Service. Pan
coastal Oil, Cherry -Burrell and
General Plywood were trimmed.
Brokers regarded the performance
OF the steel group as impressive, in
view of the Presidents suggestion
for study to see If the Govern
ment should go into the steel busi-
ness. The general feeling was that
the proposal would take a long
time to get past the theoretical
stage-tf 1t ever does.

Steel Institute Cites
96,o00,000 for Rate
In Reply 10 Truman
BY the Associated Press


NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-The Amer
lean Iron and Steel Institute re-
ported today the Nation now has
facilities to turn out steel ingotS at
the rate of more than $4,000, 900 tons
annually.
And Walter S. Tower, institute
president, said present expansion
schedules indicate capacity will be
considerably over 100000 tons by
the end of 1850.
Announcement of current capacity
figures, compiled annually by the
institute from reports of steelmaking
companies, was speeded up in the
wake of President Truman's message
to Congress
The President said that if private
industry fails to provide capacity
adequate to meet the Nations steel
needs, the Government should either
finance new private facilities or
build public ones.
How far apart are industry and
Government economists in their
estimates of the size of the steel
making facilities needed? And
when will the question come to a
head?
1850 May Be Significant.
Louis Bean, Agriculture Depart
ment economist, says production
should be 100000 900 tons a year
To do this, he believes, total ca
pacity should be around l15,OO0,O0O
or 12O,OOO,0OO.
In 1948 output was a peactime
record of some 88,5OO0OO tons. And
Mr.. Towers estimate of 1850 Ca
pacity would fall some 100000 to
100000 tons short of Mr.. Beans
recommended capacity figure,
That date-1950-may be signifi-
cant.
Reports today were that bills to
set up the study commission on steel
requested by the President would
call for the group to submit its
recommendations early in 1850
Some observers point out the COM
missions findings may be Influenced
by Government officials whose minds
on steel capacity needs already are
made up.
| On the other hand, steel industry
leaders believe that something ir
l949 supply and demand for stee
may come into a near balance.
H..by 1850 the country's steel con.
sumers found the material readily
available, the edge of any demand
to increase capacity would be dulled
Capacity Up Is Per cent.
Mr.. over in today's Statement
pointed out that steel furnaces nov
could at capacity pour out more thar
180 tons of raw steel minute.
Since 1910, he said, the Nations
cent. In the same period steel ca
pacity is up 18 per cent.
His estimates of 1850 facilitie!
are based on schedules calling fo
addition of 100000 tons in 1874!
and 10000 tons in 1850. He pointed
out that the addition of 1,800,00'
tons of capacity in 1948 compared
with expectations, a year ago, tina
only 100000 tons would be added.
