The sessions are expected V) continue until Friday night. Gov. Harding, however, ' in statements to various representatives of the producers who callod upon him, virtually reiterated his previous utterances to the effect that the producing elements can restore confidence more quickly by putting a stop to calamity talk and by the observance of more practical method in disposing of their harvested crops. To the plea cf the producers that th federal reserve board take definite actIon that will enable the producers to. carry their crops until prices reach a level above producing costs. Gov.

"The board la not authorized by law ti lend mosey. It must confine Us func tions to those outlined and authorizoi; by law.
