'WHEAT PRICES CLIMB HIGHER IN TRADE BOARD Strong Foreign Cables Are Chiefs Factor in Grain Market. Bu I nited Press CHICAGO, Dec. 3. —Wheat prices jumped upward as the Board of Trade opened here this morning under the stimulus of general buying induced by the strong foreign cables. Liverpool and Buenos Aires were both much higher, though Liverpool reacted fractionally from the top. Small world shipments was the chief factor at Liverpool. Corn and oats trailed along with wheat. At the opening wheat was 1% to 1% cent higher, corn w r as up % to 7 k cent and oats was % to '% cent higher. Provisions were steady. Liverpool opened rather higher than had been expected and the prices continued to climb during the morning. About noon they stood sharply higher at gains of 2!* to 2 7 s cents. Buenos Aires also opened strong 1%. to 1% cents up. Corn was very firm Monday because of the lack of deliveries. The weather is still extremely sold and is acting as a hindrance rather than an aid to the farmers. Cash interests are taking December oats and selling May, while locals and commission houses are buying the other way. The strength of corn is a factor. The pit is still quiet.

No Hatchet White House Cherry Trees Blamed for Oriental Moth Plague.

A GIFT of cherry trees to a President of the United States—not George Washington—is responsible for an uprising of horticulturists' of the nation, it was revealed today at the sixtyninth annual convention of the Indiana Horticultural Society in the Lincoln. For it was charged by John N. Dyer, of Vincennes, president of the body, that the offending trees —planted on the White House mall in Washington. D. C.—bred the Oriental fruit moth which has damaged peach crops of the country in the past twenty years. “The trees,” Dyer charged, were given to President William Howard Taft by the Japanese government.” Laxness of the government in combating the pest attributed to the presidential trees was scored by Dyer. He forecast official action by the Indiana horticulturists by urging that a resolution be framed petitioning congress for an adequate appropriation to fight the moth. “And you apple growers have as much to fear as those who grow peaches, for the Oriental moth works on apples when he can’t find peaches,” he warned. The society’s meeting ends Wednesday. ‘EUGENICS BABY’ IS TWO YEARS OF AGE “Jolly Little Animal,'’ Comment of George Bernard Shaw. By United Press LONDON, Dec. 3.—Richard Keir Pethick Pankhurst, so-called “eugenic baby” son of Sylvia Pankhurst, the famous suffragette, is 2 years old today. Richard's literary efforts are at this stage of his life limited to a series of crosses which he has learned to add, all alone, to the letters which his mother sends to “daddy” when he goes away. But even if he can’t write himself he always has been commented on by one or the world's most famous authors: George Bernard Shaw. Not long ago Richard’s mother wrote to Shaw and enclosed a photo of her son. “The boys looks a jolly little animal and is still, I hope, trailing clouds of glory,” wrote Shaw acknowledging receipts of the picture.

In the Stock Market

<Bv Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Dec. 3.—With negotiations under way involving a merger between our largest mail order house and a representative chain store system, as 14011 as the plans of Bethlehem Steel to acquire additional plants, it may be truthfully said that* big business has resumed the normal activities which were temporarily interrupted by the break in security prices. The revival of confidence on the part of these larger organizations should and probably will, spread gradually to the smaller units, all of which will do much in minimizing the extent of any possible business recession. The Stock Exchange loan report due today, anticipation of the quick passage of the income tax reductifln measure, and an optimistic address by the President should all be of material assistance in bringing about the retjirn of an atmosphere of confidence. To us the whole financial picture looks decidedly more cheerful.
