This favorable budget stimulated the demand for stocks and prices Were generally higher in today’s opening, with Standard of New Jersey leading the oils by reaching anew high on the movement. First Hour Stocks moved ahead through the first hour under leadership of Ameri can Can and Baldwin, which moved into new high ground for the current i upswing. Wall Street was confident the firct measures to come before the new Congress would look toward tax reduction and this prospect was expected to form the basis for a bullish demonstration in the whole market, and all classes of stocks were stimulated by this outlook. Clsoing Hour Stocks gathered increasing strength toward the close and the final deal.ngs were characterized by marked buoyancy throughout the list. New highs on the movement were reached by Studebaker, Corn Products and other leaders following the strength shown by Steel, Baldwin and Amer.can Can. Bullish demonstrations went ahead in numerous spec.ult.es and prices closed at the best levels of the week. Twenty active industrial stocks on Saturday averaged 93.15, up .81 per \ cent.

WHEAT LEAHS ALL GRAITTS FORWARD Small Deliveries on December Contracts Responsible. By Vnited Financial CHICAGO, Dec* 1. —Grain prices closed sharply higher on the Chicago Board of Trade today. Wheat led other grains in a sharp upturn during today’s short session. Buying which had its inception at the opening, induces! by light deliveries on December contracts, higher cables and unfavorable weather in the Northwest, continued up to the close. Higher cash market, better feeding demand and failure to deliver any stocks on December contracts as well an higher wheat gave corn a higher close. Although oats lagged through most of the they gained some ground on the strength of other grains. Provisions rallied late with grains, stronger hogs and better cables.

Local killers hesitated to enter the market and consequently the hulk of the hogs had been sold before they c%uld start obtaining their supplies. The market was generally steady, though some medium hogs might have sold strong to 5 cents higher. The price range remained unchanged at $7 to $7.50, with medium and mixed selling from $7.15 to $7.30, as on Friday, and the bulk from $7.10 to $7.35. As on Friday, comparatively few hogs sold under $7.10 and no great number higher than $7.25. Sows and pigs ruled firm, wltn pigs at $0.75 down and sows at $6.50 down. Many marketwise traders are marveling at the market’s ability to absorb offerings and some are pointing to steadily Increasing prices as an indication that better prices may be expected in the future. The cattle market was, as is usual on Saturdays, quiet with trading at generally unchanged quotations. Less than 200 head were in the yards. The market closed the week strong to 25 cents higher on good cows and all classes of killing steers. On other grades prices were regarded as only steady or In spots strong. An advance of a half dollar was noted in the calf market as the result of strong buying for Eastern account and choice veals sold at a top of sl3, while the bulk brought from sl2 to $12.50, Receipts, 300. Less than twenty-five head of sheep were In the yards and trading was quiet at quotably steady prices. —Hub* — Choice light* $ 7.00® 7 10 Light mixed 7 10,,6 7.20 Medium mixed 7 20® 7.30 Fmvywelghta 7 35,a 750 Bulk of sales 7 10® 7.35 To 7.50 I*l, T 6 2'*® 675 Packing sow* 6.00® 6.50 ■ ■ ■■gla'D'BFw (holes steer* slo.oo® 11.00 Prime corn-fed atvers 1.000 to 1 800 lb* 9.00® 9.60 Good to choice atiera. 1.000 to l 100 Us* . 8.50® 9.00 Bind to choice steem 1 000 to 1 200 lbs 7.50® 800 Corel to choice iteer*. 1,900 to 1.700 lb* 6 00® 7.50 Common to medium *teers. 890 to 1 000 lbs 6 00® 7.00 —Cow* and Heifer*—— Choice to light heifers $ 9.00® 10 00 Good heavyweights 7.25® 900 Medium heifers 6 00® 725 Common cow* 3 00® 6 00 Fair cow* 6 60® 7 50 Cutter* 2 7-4® 3 2 > Canner* 2.25® 8 75 —Bull*— Fane’r Imtrher bull* $ 5 00® 600 Good to choice butcher bull# 5.00 .; 5.40 Bologus bull* 4.50® 6.00 Choice xea,* sl2 OO® 13 00 Good veals IO.OO® 12 00 Medium veals 7 oofti 900 Lightweight veal* 7.50® 800 Common veal* 7 000 7cO Common heavies 60<>t< 7.00 Top 12-50 —Sheep and Lambs— Extra choice lambs $lO 00® 12 !>0 Heavy lamb* 8 Oil*.; 10.00 Cull iambs* 6 00 ® 7 00 Good to choice ewes 4 00® 700 Colls 2.00® 3.00

BIDS FOR SCHOOL HALTEDBY ORDER $160,000 Building Delayed Until Hearing, Dec, 8, Bids on the proposed new high school building for Warren township, estimated to cost $160,000, will not be accepted today by Edward J. Hecker, trustee, as a result of a temporary restraining order issued by Superior Judge Sidney S. Miller, Friday evening. The State tax board approved the bond issue for the school today. The petition was filed by three taxpayers of the township who alleged that taxpayers are overburdened now; that there are two high schools in the township amply able to accommodate all students, and that further tax burdens will be confiscatory of property. The order will remain in effect until Dec. 8, when the case will be heard. The State tax hoard had arranged to rule on a remonstrance against the bond issue of $160,000 to finance the deal today after the bids were opened and compared. The board authorized the trustees to proceed that far over bitter protest of rernonstrators.

It is the day when sympathetic folks will try to place themselves in the position of the hungry in Bible lands. A sacrificial meal to benefit 100,000 orphan children will be the order of the day. From the White House, where President and Mrs. Coolidge will dine on corn grits and crackers or something equally as simple, down to the humblest cottage in the land, children of a stricken country will be remembered. A check for S2OO from Mrs. George A. Ball of Muncie was received today.

POLICE RETRACE j STEPS IN MURDER (Continued From Page 1) ! ! evening of her abduction and told her ; father she would he back after a while. She entered the dance hall about 10 p. m. and left about 11. Where she was between 6:30 and 10 p. m. is not j known. Her movements from the j *!ance hall to a Garfield car and thence ; to lowa and East Sts., have been traced. One clew which the police believed | for a time would be important proved |tobe a false lead. Detectives received | a report that a blood-stained automo- ’ bile answering the descr ption of the I car ;n which Mrs. Whelchel was ab- | ducted, had been left in a north s de i garage. Investigat.on revealed the ' fact the car had been in an accident. Seen on Street Car Jesse Bandy, 1914 English Ave., conductor of a Garfield car, said toI day that Mrs. Whelchel got on his car at Illinois and Washington Sta., at about 11:10 the night of her abduction. He sa(d ana got off, alone, at lowa and East Sts., at about 11:35. Bandy said he did not notice whether there was an automobile following the car, but Benjamin R. Riche, 1837 S. East St., motorman said he observed 1 a car following for several blocks He said he saw the auto stop at lowa St., ' about six feet back of the front of the car. He remembered this, he said, : because he did not open the door for j Mrs. Whe’ehel to alight until he was : sure the automobile was stopped. Captain Kinney said he would as- | sign a man to question the car crew again concerning a report that another woman left the street car with l Mrs. Whelchel. He said the crew had been questioned following the murder and had not told of a second woman. A bit of evidence, peculiar in nature, but with a poss bil ty of holding Ia clew, was investigated by detectives today. An automobile plate for an automobile, found in the front yard of the home of Edward Watts, Bridgeport, lnd., w.th numerals and back ground of different color than those used this year by the State, was turned in at police headquarters. Detectives say that while the plate shows no evidence of being tampered with to change numbers, the change of colors was probably made to form a ruse. Records Are Traced The records at the secretary of State’s office shows the plates were issued in another county: it demands more attention than usual because the point v'here the plate was found is a few miles west-sis where the body of Mrs. Helen Whelchel was found. Detectives are endeavoring to trace the movements of a man who is said to have called on Mrs. Whelchel frequently. He' Is reported to have gone to Buffalo just before the murder. Mullin said that there never has been a case since he has been on the police force that he would rather solve than this one because it surpassed in brutality other murders in the last twenty years.
