Harding Asks Steel Manufacturers to
 Dine at White House
By Associated Presa

Washington, May 17.-Invitations have been issued for large number of prominent steel manufacturers of the country to meet with President Harding tomorrow night at dinner conference, it was said today at the White House.
 White House officials who could be reached declined to discuss the la ture of the conference to which the steel men have been invited.
 It was recalled, however. in other government quarters that several months ago the administration was reported as greatly interested in bringing about three shift working arrangement in the steel industry. the three shifts of eight hours each to be substituted for the 12 hour shift now in effect In some portions of the industry.
 Another matter which was thought in some circles might be brought up. was the transportation question. This will be considered at a dinner con- fer ence to be held at the White House Saturday night and it was thought by some that perhaps President Harding wished to get the views of the steel men on rate and other transportation questions before meet ing with the railroad executives Sat urday night.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
 ny Associotao Yraaa


 New Orleans. May 17.-1rregularltY and a tendency to react, in mod crate way, marked the trading In cotton today. July was relatively much stronger than the new crop months and this most traders put down to the recent heavy buying of of July by spot concerns and the fears among shorts that these pur- chasers intended to demand the de- livery of cotton. The close was typ ioal of tho trend of the market dur ing a good part of the session, show ing net declines of 13 to 40 points July closing 13 points down at 1s,90c. while December closed 40 points down at 1e.5oc. This discount on the new crop was regarded as logical by many brokers in view of the recent strengthening of the spot situation.
 Liquidation of the long interest was stimulated around the opening by the lower Liverpool market than da,c although selling wal held within bounds by spot sales of 1S.- 900 bales in the English market. After declines of 12 to IS points, new buying was aroused by reports of almost general rains in Texas and of considerable rain in Oklahoma and by the middle of the morning the highest levels of the session were reached, July touching 2o.1Sc and the list showing net gains of 10 to Is points.
 The weekly weather and crop re- ports by the government were con sidered to be better than expected regarding the central and eastern divisions of the belt and they started a sag which finally, In the late trad ing had October down to 19.6Sc. and the list at net losses of IS to 40 points.

New York. May 17.-The market for coffe futures was lower today under scattered liquidation inspired by the easier ruling of Brazil and complaints of a continued poor spot demand Importers were moderate sellers and while the offerings were not heavy. there appeared to be very little support. July eased off to 10.35c and September to 9.S7c and the market closed at the lowest, show lg net losses of Il to 15 points Sales were estimated at about 16.- 500 bags.

F[UCTUATIONSIN IN
 COTTON VIOLENT
 DURING SESSION
General Market Closed Easy, Net Seven Points Higher to Fifty-tWo Lower on
 Days Trading

New York. May 17.-There were violent fluctuations in the cotton market today. although the net changes were not particularly broad. An opening decline was followed by sharp advances on unfayorable weather news, with July contracts selling up from 20.2sc to 20.6Sc, or 23 points net higher. Reactions fol- lowed which carried new crop months into new low ground for the day. with October selling off from 20.59c to 20.17c and closing at that level. with the general market clos ing easy, net points higher to 52 points lower. Old crop positions were relatively firm during the entire day on reports of firmer spot basis and the prompt absorption of additional May notices. May sold up to 21.50c or 30 points net higher and closed at 21.27c compared with 21.20c at the close yesterday.
 The opening decline was in re- sponse to relatively easy Liverpool futures and overnight selling orders. The early reports of further rains in the south were evidently dis appointment to sellers of the previ- ous day, however, and the market quickly turned firm on covering, fresh commission house buying and reports of good trade demand. Ac- tive months sold about 12 to 30 points net higher, with December .ad- vancing to 20.56c but realizing be- came more active after the publica- tion of the western belt forecast for clearing weather and following the failure of the weekly weather re- port to bring in fresh buying.
 New crops sold 25 to 36 points net lower on the afternoon break. De- cember selling off to goose and July also worked below yesterdays clos ing quotations. but sold about lS points over October. Local brokers reported that the strength of May and bullish southern spot. advices were leading July shorts to cover in anticipation of a big premium over new crop months. Reports that several southwestern sections were being quarantined because of the pink boil worm were without any special effect. There was western selling attributed partly to the cas- fer grain market.

COPPER HOLDS THE
 BOARDS ON WALL
 STREET YESTERDAY
Rise Was Attributed to lm- proved Conditions in the Metal Industry and Prob
 able Mergers
By Associated Press

NOW IorK, May l1.--For tna lHst time in several years copper shares today overshadowed all other issues as the foremost features of the stock market. Their rise of l to t points on very extensive transactions was attributed to improved conditions in the metal industry and probable mergers.
 According to disinterested obser- vera. however. the strength of metals was mainly due to the concerted eff forts of professional interests. which apparently regarded that group as the best vehicle for the further ad- vance of quoted values.
 Predictions of an early rise in re- fined copper prices to 14o per pound were freely made in trade circles. Attention was directed to the fact that silver and the baser metals have shown almost steady enough re- gently.
 @ Speculative interest in steel stocks was revived on news that leading manufacturers have been invited to Washington to discuss present and future trade conditions with Presi- dent and other members of the ad- ministration.
 steels had their inning in the last half of the session, when Midvals rose an extreme of 6A points and closed at a net gain of 4M. as a re- suit of unconfirmed reports to the effect that the company would be absorbed by Bethlehem.
 Republic and Replogle Steels. as well as several others of that group, also closed one to three points high CT. but Bethlehem was relatively heavy and United States and Lacka- wanna finished at moderate losses.
 Oils, motors and equipments, as represented chiefly by Mexican Petroleum. Studebaker, Baldwin Loco motive and International Harvester. contributed substantially to the mar ket's constructive side, Harvester gaining 5A points. United Drug was strongest of the inactive specialties at gain of points Secondary is- sues dominated the rails until well toward the finish, when Reading and Canadian Pacific were In process of accumulation with Rock Island, New Haven, St. Paul and Baltimore and Ohio.
 The money market again ignored withdrawals of funds for federal ac- count, call loans ruling at 8 per cent tnrougnout. Iime runds were In plentiful supply at Az to 4h per cent, but slight concessions were re- ported on prime commercial paper.
 Cables from abroad suggested de- pression In London and on the con- tinent, growing out of latest political and economic developments. This was not reflected in foreign ex- changes, however. the British rate holding firm. with only moderate re- actions in allied bills and German marks. Far eastern exchanges strengthened, probably on the further rise of silver in London.

WHEAT MARKET AS|
 4 WHOLE AVERAGED IN GRAIN PIT
Corn and Oats, in Full Sympa- thy, Made Fractional Dips, With Provisions Varied
 All Through the Day
RY Associated Presa

Chicago, May 17.-Although dur ing much of the time today wheat showed a material advance in price for May delivery. the market, taken as whole, averaged lower Re- selling on the part of foreigners was bearish factor. The close was un settled, at the same as yesterdays finish to &c down with May $1.45 F to $t.45A and July s1.27A to $1.27A. A toss @ Ac and oats h@A to s Q 1ae. In provisions the outcome varied from 7c decline to rise of 5c.
 Estimates that the arrivals of wheat here today amounted only to 120 carloads. total considerably smaller than has been the rule of late, appeared to be the chief reason for sharp but transient upturn in the value of May wheat After. however. touching $1.471a, the high est level which for sometime has been attained, the price for the cur rent month began to drop, and at the last was off little as compared with yesterdays finish. Todays actual receipts proved to be 162 car loads instead of 120, and there were reports that Iowa, Illinois and h. diana points were all trying to sell wheat here. Besides, vessel car TylHS fu.UuU puSleiS Ol Nntdl ar rived here from Manitowoc. and an other vessel with wheat was reported as on passage from Toledo to Chica- go it was said also that wheat In the east was being offered 5 to 10c be- low a parity with wheat here.
 In connection with selling which from the outset operated as a weight on the July and September deliveries slowing down of general demand for wheat was reported. No- tice was taken too of the feebleness of the response which Liverpool quo- tations made to the sharp upturn yesterday in values here.
 Prospects of larger receipts in corn tended to weaken the market for corn and oats.
 Accommodating stocks of lard here counterbalanced in the provision market the effect of higher quota tions on hogs.
