PROHIBITION LAW BEFORE HARDING
 AND GOVERNORS

Washington, Dec. 18-Problems of prohibition enforcement were set for discussion a a White House lunc keOn conference today between President Harding and state governors, sixteen of whom had accepted Presidents invitation to attend
 Originally planning to call a con ference of governors Sere on the prohibition question some time next month, the President advanced tho date primarily because of the prox- imity to the capital at this time Of so many who have been in attendance at the governors conference at White Sulphur Springs, W. Va, although advancing the date of the conference means that a. number of governors participating will go out of office sh ortly after
 The President was said to have de- cided upon it in order to obtain the views of those who have the eXper- fence of the past two years in deal- ing with the prohibition question.
 It is believed in administration cir cles that another conference will be necessary after the first of the year because of the change in state admin istrations, and the views developed at this conference thus will be avail able to the executives taking part in n later one.

provisions 171ac to 3Ilsc.
More attention to world supply and
demand conditions was given by wheat
traders today than has been the case
for a long while. The Immediate rea-
son was big bulge in prices at Liver
pool which resulted in dissipating be-
lief that export business from the
United States was over for the season
A general rush to buy took place a :
soon as the market opened and at no
time thereafter were offerings plenti-
full enough to equal the demand Ex-
cessivcly cold weather and high winds
In the dry district in the winter whes

bushels OF rye had been purchased for

Corn and oats were rather neglected
and they failed to keep up with the
pace set in tho wheat market
Higher quotations on hogs helped to
