CABLE REPORTS SHOOT WHEAT PRICES HIGHER Bull News From Argentina Is Received With More Credence. BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE Visited Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Dec. 30—Strong foreign cables sent wheat prices up as the Board of Trade opened today. Liverpool was rather strong on small passage stocks and indicated a good inquiry for American wheat. Buenos Aires opened strong and around noon was IVi cents higher. Corn was unevenly higher to lower with oats around steady. At the opening, wheat was unchanged to % cent higher, corn was ‘A cent lower to % cent higher, and oats was unchanged to % cent lower. Provisions were easy. Liverpool was strong during the morning, following the rise here Saturday, and shortly after noon was 1% to 2 cents higher. The bull news from Argentina is being given more credence lately, especially by foreign buyers. Bears ignore it, feeling that the surplus in Canada and the United States will more than offset any shortage. Export buying has hardened prices and the cash situation is extremely strong. There still is between 5.000.000 and 6.000.000 bushel open interest in corn and their closing today and Tuesday will be the principal interest in the market. Deferred holders are resting, waiting to see the extent of the country run. Weather today is favorable for movement. Oats trade had been very light, with numerous traders getting out of December and taking May. This is the principal influence. Chicago Grain Table —Dec. 30— Prev. WHEAT — High. Low. 12:00. Close.

lA PORTE PHONE CASE APPEALED 'We Lose ’Em All,’ Comment of Commission Chief. ‘We lose them all,” was the comment of Chairman John W. McCardle today when informed that clients of the La Porte County Telephone Company are planning to appeal the rate increases authorized by the commission to the court. An increase of the Terre Haute Telephone Company already has been appealed. McCardle’s comment was in regard to what happens to commission orders when they go to the courts. He admittedly has been trying to avoid appeals and since becoming chairman none has been taken by the utilities. In these rate increase cases the public is appealing. In the Terre Haute case McCardle rewrote an order prepared by Commissioner Calvin Mclntosh, who heard the matter and failed to grant increases McCardle thought were merited. The La Porte case followed similar procedure with Commissioner Frank Singleton conducting the hearing. McCardle said the raises were granted to avoid appeals by the companies.

In the Stock Market

(Bv Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Dec. 30.—Forecasts as to what, to anticipate the coming year coupled with contemplated huge expenditures for further expansion plans are probably more conspicuous in the financial news than any material change in the business picture. One of our leading banking institutions sounds the almost unanimous opinion that a slow start, gradual improvement in the spring, and then acceleration later in 1930 is to be expected. Within a few days after the turn of the year the steel industry will probably lead the way in stepping up production, and as this movement gets under way other industries may be expected to follow. With a substantial backlog of unfilled orders, largely railroad source, it would not be surprising if the steel industry rapidly approached a productive capacity well above 76 per cent. Since the steel industry has been one of the chief trade barometers we anticipate that security markets will quickly sense any decided change and begin to discount gradual improvement in business generally. We feel that investors risks have been greatly diminished, considering the present low selling prices of a long list of excellent securities.

DUTCH ELM DISEASE MENACES U. S. TREES No Method to Control Infection Yet Discovered. Bu Science Service. DES MOINES, Dec. 30.—America’s most beautiful shade tree, the stately elm, may follow the chestnut to destruction if infected by the Dutch elm disease, which already has devastated the elms of Holland. Belgium, France and Germany, said Dr. Christine Buisman, a noted professor of plant pathology of the University of Utrecht, Netherlands, in addressing the twenty-first annual meeting of the American Phytopathological Society here today. Methods of controlling the disease have not yet been found, Dr. Buisman said. The only thing that can be done now is to test varieties of elm to determine their resistance and propogate the most, promising ones. There is nothing to show that the disease will decrease in the course of time. A tree first shows the effects of the disease when the twigs curl and the leaves of the whole tree or some of its branches suddenly wither and turn down. The leaves do not fall immediately, those in the top remaining for several weeks. In the wood of a diseased tree conspicuous reddish-brown streaks become visible. A tree thus affected may die within the year or it may live for several years. Most of the affected trees are from fifteen to forty years old, accounting, perhaps, for the rarity of the malady in nurseries.

SUGGESTS PURCHASE OF OLD BUTLER SITE ! Campus Proposed as Juvenile Court and Detention Home. Proposal that the county buy the old Butler university site in Irvington for use as a home for the board of children’s guardians city detention home and the juvenile court' was made today by John C. McCloskey, real estate dealer and works board member. McCloskey pointed out that the thirty-acre tract could be bought from Butler university and used by the county more economically than other sites. The buildings could be converted easily, centralizing all juvenile court activities with ample office space at the Irvington location, he said. It was reported that the property could be purchased for $150,003. McClcskey suggested the county could sell some of the land for subdivision purposes.

BAN DANCE MARATHON Board of W’orks Denies Permission to Use Tomlinson Hall. Permission to use Tomlinson hall for another marathon dance was denied a group of American Legion leaders today by the board of works.

Numerous complaints were filed by citizens last year because of th r marathon promoted by professional interests under the name of the Legion.

PROSPERITY IS VISIONED ON 1930 HORIZON Big Business Chiefs Expect Conditions as Good as in 1929. BY RICHARD L. GRIDLEY, United Press Financial Editor NEW YORK, Dec. 30.—American prosperity in 1930 will equal and in some instances surpass that of the record year just closing, according to forecasts received by the United Press from business leaders, railroad executives, and correspondents in all sections of the world. Among the leaders queried were officials of the United States Steel Corporation, General Electric Company, Montgomery Ward & Cos.. F. W. Woolworth Company, New York Central Railroad, Atchison Railroad, Canadian Pacific Railway and other leaders in the nation’s business. In commenting on results of 1929, these same leaders intimated that records were broken despite the stock market crash. In nearly every line of business, new records were hung up and 1930 business will be considered exceedingly good if the 1929 record is only equaled. Records Are Set During 1929 new high records were made In aggregate individual income, corporate earnings, iron and steel production, automobile production, railroad earnings, bank clearings and various phases of retail trade. Toward the latter part of the year some recession w r as felt in leading lines, as a natural result from unprecedented summer activitiy. This recession was stimulated partly by the stock market break, but certainly was not due to the break in stock values. On the contrary the stock market break left American banking institutions, individual investors and business leaders in a position where sound conditions could be built Ic# the future. Asa result 1930 business appears to be headed for higher levels, after a few months of readjustment in the first half. Some Drop Noted Toward the latter part of the last year some diminution was noted in lines like steel and automobile production, both of which eased off to their lowest levels of the year. Retail lines have suffered mostly from the decline in pub’ic purchasing power coincident to the stock market break, but even this line of business has held up to the 1928 levels and promises to make new records in 1930. From various sections of the country, a feeling of confidence is apparent and the usual keynote Is “business as usual.”

BANDITRY IS RIFE IN CHINA. DUE TO WARS Groups of Villagers Form Bands to Obtain Food by Force. By United J’ress PEIPING. Dec. 30.—An alarming increase in banditry in at least ten of China's eighteen provinces is indicated in reports receved by foreign legations here from their consuls. This state of affairs is attributed chiefly to the persistence of civil war. The consular report’s state that most of the bandits are not professionals, but men and women who have been driven to prey upon their neighbors because of desperate need of food.
