Invites Cabinet Officers, Con- gressmen and Railway Off i V cials to Meet in Wash ;f ington May ,19. -Washington. May .13. Cabinet . 'Ottlcers;; members. 61 congress and 7 the Interstate Commerce commis "j sion and railroad officers have been 1 f invited by Julias H. Barnes, head of the United States Grain corporation, "n to confer with him here on May 19, to distfuss plans for meeting .'."'the situation resulting from the .termination of the grain corpora- f tion on June 1. "The approaching termination of ;y the three-year jstabilizing influence - j of the grain, corporation requires , most earnest consideration," said Mr. Barnes. "America's grain mar j ket from nthe machinery and its . large credit needs formerly depend ed on the security afforded by ' " hedging transactions in, the great grain markets." the wheat director "'.continued. "These hedging markets f will Hot be reinstated because of f :;-present hazards. The disorganiza tion of Europe forces the purchase Mof their bread supply by govern- i-tment officials, instead of through private merchants whose thousands j'.tf differing opinions introduced a !rIMneasure , of cushioning aeainst . '.violent price nuctuations. l "A conference May 7 of 400 rep resentatives of tvheat handling and ...finanufacturijig -trades, : bankers and - producers discussed this 'situation, menacing not alone the grain hand ling, -but the- credit structure of the country and the 1 resulting possible agricultural demoralization. "I cannot face termination of my office :of"' wheat ;;director wthouf bringing these conditions to the at-' ten-fion. of- those who may devise steps for their : correction. These difficulties" center about inadequate transportation and disturbed credits resulting in widening trade margins affecting producer and consumer and possibly suspending the, producer market entirely from time to time. o overemphasis, in my judgment, can possibly be laid on the need of some corrective step." Atlanta Club Dances To Wireless Music; Jules Verne Outdone Atlanta. Ga.. May". 12. Exploits of the Martian heroes of H. G. Wells and the most extravagant romances of Jules . Verne were eclipsed on the roof of the Capital City club here recently when for the first time- dancing to music conveyed by wireless telephone was accomplished. ' Approximately 1,000 persons gath ered for the dance of the Club de Vingt. The music was by the Geor gia Tech. R. O. T. C. band in its own concert hall more than a mile from the Capital City club. - By playing into a wireless transmitter, the. band flashed the musical sound waves to the dancers, who" by strain ing their ears and a little imagina tion, managed to follow the music very well. Through a, miscarriage in ,the plans of obtaining material for re ceiving the music the wireless did not; earry the. sound, .in ; sufficient volume to be heard plainly. But it was amply demonstrated that it could be done, which was all that the experiment was for. A feature of the experiment came when'" the power plant, of the Tech "went' dead." F. D. Saunders, who has a fadio plant, placed his phono graph near a transmitter and the concert to those who were "listen ing in was kept up. Practically every amateur wire less operator in Atlanta and near- by towns had radio apparatus "tuned up"- to tatch the dance music, and it was stated they not only heard the toncert, but messages from as far. north as New York and as far south as Key West. . Eleventh Hour Entry In Presidential Race rs Wine and Beer Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire. Washington, May 13 Openly de claring for beer and light wine, Sen ator Joseph Orwin France of Mary land made an eleventh-hour entry in the political race as a candidate for the republican presidential nomina tion. ,'. - v "I believe" ;he said, "in a refer endum to the people on the question ,of '-whether' the, eighteenth amend ment should be. enforced in such a way as to prevent the distribution of light wines and beer as other com modities .are distributed. Such a referendum, whatever ' the outcome, would go , far toward :allaying na tional unrest. "If a situation shall arise at the convention in Chicago in which there is a deadlock? and it is found necessary to turn to some candidate whose name has not beretofore been considered, I have been assured, by , many friends that the principles for which I stand are such as to make me" ht logical choice of the conven tior .'J---', ,'Senatdr1 France is "also flatly op- posed to the treaty, of Versailles. -.

In' stocks professional trading , activity con tinued to press the advantage to ward lower prices gained this week and further liquidation of Liberty bonds and Victory notes brought several new low records today. Of the two markets, bonds supplied the more significant developments in asmuch as dealings in stocks showed very little of public interest, Taken in connection with the strin gent credit situation, it is apparent that the steady, output of govern ment war paper reflects to a marked degree the offorts of cor porations and business firms to raise capital. Sluggish railroad transportation has . reached much further than the great manufactur ing companies and is handicapping the efforts of all sorts of producers of goods in getting their products to market. -..-, While storage facilities as receiving ac cumulations of finished goods, the pro ducer I put to It to keep enough working capital to maintain factory operations and with bank credit in small quantity for fresh borrowing he mut rale cash by the best means available. Quite likely the market for old ne railroad and Indus trial corporation bonds Is also feeling the Influence of forced selling for capital needs; K Is not beyond possibility that some liquidation of stock has had a sim ilar basis. - Few Stocks on Margins. The current small scale of commission house buslnes shows, however, that no broad liquidating movement in stocks has yet occurred, nor does Inquiry Indicate that the public is carrying any great amount of stock on margin. Traders who make speculation their chief avocation -showed their hand today in persistent pressure against particular groups of shares, notably the automobile stocks and a number of specialties. . Net declines of 2 to 4 points were re corded among them, at the same time that steel, petroleum and railroad Issues disclosed sufficient resiliency to prevent declines or greetcr exte-u than fractions. One might find a feature In the current week's buelrcss in the fact that standard shares of transportation companies and of corporations which produce essential proa ucts have displayed a growing reluctance to give ground. ( No Signs of Recovery. Still the market has recorded no evi dence of recovery and It Is becoming mor and more? apparent in the street that a paralyzing effect of railroad congestion, with Its concurrent effect upon credit, is holding In check constructive sentiment in regard to the near future of securities. A bright spot Is the facility with which re cent railroad note Issues have been placed among Investors and also the underlying feeling that industrial company financing now In contemplation will find a good market on proper terms. The weekly statement of the Bank of England contained an interesting Item in respect to the government's program of reducing Its loans at the bank; holdings of government securities were reduced $4, 000.000. continuing the process begu a fnrtnlaht ago. The government's program of selling short-term bonds on a basis to yield around 7 per cent ana aiso oi in creasing the rate on treasury bills Is evi dently having a beneficial effect on rela tions with the bank.

This forecasts crop of 47,586,000 bushels, as compared with 54,997,000 bushels . last year. The cold weather of the past month was very favorable for the winter wheat and Im proved the wind damaged wheat to such an extent that the abandonment will not exceed 8 per cent This leaves 2,846,000 acres for harvest as compared to the rec ord acreage of 3,716,000 acres harvested last year. About 42 per cent of the plow ing is completed as compared with 55 per cent a year ago. Spring planting Is 35 per cent completed as compared with 40 per cent a year ago. Chloago Tribune says: The grain trade and the farmers In the west do not seem to be thoroughly awake to the grave pos sibilities presented In the proposed tax on transactions on exchanges under, the sol diers' bonus bill, says a Board of Trade man. "The tax threatens to destroy the protection that an open market in grain affords, such as Is now being demanded by the country in wheat. Based on 2c for each $10 value on- $3 per bushel for wheat the tax on 10,000 bushels would bo $60, which, In the did, the producer will be forced to pay. In addition to the heavy toll taken as the result of the big margin demanded, due to the lack of an open market.'' It is said leading eastern railroad have been ordered by the Interstate Com merce commission to send cars to west ern railroads for preferential movement of grain from the interior to terminal markets. How many cars are to be given western roads has not developed, as the order Is to be kept as quiet as possible, in tear of a repetition of a break In prices. such as occurred last February when the preferential order was placed on gram for 10 days. Farmers then refused to sell corn at $1.25 and leas, now tney are getting $1.86 to $1."90. which may be dif ferent. Of late, farmers have shown mere disposition to sell corn at this level. No. 2 yellow sold here yesterday, at $2.13. and mixed at $2.12, the highest of the sea son to date and 2c above the top made last year, which was In July and August. The Northwestern railroad has Issued the following for a period of 10 days starting May 13 and terminating May 26; Give preferential car supply for the load ing of grain cars in grain producing ter ritory; must be confined to loading 01 grain ana grain produces, it any surplus advise, and wilt give disposition. The point Is to move every car . of grain we possibly can during the nxt 10 days. Please personally Issue such instructions as are necessary to have strict compliance herewith and maximum loading obtained.

News generally was niore bearish than of late, while sentiment showed little change. Local traders sold corn freely at the start on the is suance of garbled reports on labor conditions at Buffalo, which the trade construed as meaning the rail roads might' be hampered. July dropped 3j4c from the top and fin ished on a rally of 5c, With csh corn at Chicago from x to 20 cents higher than in other markets there was a disposition to keep away from the buying side at times. , Oat Sell Freely. Long oats came out freely through com mission house and a leading local pro fessional was also a heavy seller, with a lack of support prices eased quickly after being slightly .higher early with corn. Weather conditions were favorable for the growth of the corn, and the fore cast was for fair and warmer. Bulk of the demand for cash corn was from Industries which absorbed the of ferings around $2.13 and $3.13 for the No. 2 and No. 8 grades. No 2 yellow sold up to $2.14, a new high for the season.
