Among the Christmas gifts re-
ccived by r. D. Barge this year was
large sized coccanut encased in

Barge, at Santo Domingo. Cecil
suggested that instead Of eating the
cocoanut his father should place 1t
in warm earth until spring and then
plant it in the garden. Mr.. Barge
has decided to heed the suggestion
and has the cocoanut laid away in
nice warm little bee awaiting the
warm spring days. If the plan works

SALARY ALLOWANCE
PROWSO is RETAINED
Effort Of La Guardia to Have It
Stricken From Bill Rejected
by House.

The House today retained in the
Treasury-Post Office appropriation bill
the proviso on salary allowances, which
is viewed as Congress stabilizing fea-
ture of the classification act. This pro-
viso has been carried In the appropria-
ton bills for the last five years. Rep
-resentative La Guardia, Republican, of
New York today endeavored to have 1t
stricken from the bill, but his amend
ment was rejected.
The purpose of the proviso is to pre-
vent the jumping of salaries in any
grade under the classification act to the
higher salary levels by providing that
the average for all the ranges within
the grades shall be maintained.
The House appropriations committee
and the House, in indorsing the proviso,
hold that the limitation does not
change the term of the classification
act, but prevents the average of the
salaries of all persons found in any
classification grade in any bureau or
Office from exceeding the average of
the compensation rate of the grade. 1t
dose not mean, however, that no indi-
vidual in that grade shall draw salary
greater than the average of the rates
specified for the. grade, but that in
averaging up salaries of the personnel
the general average shall not exceed
the average rate for the grade. 1t is
emphasized that this results In a
uniform distribution in grades in
bureaus throughout the departments
generally.

ADVANCES IN MONEY RATES
AFFECT TREASURY FINANCING

It was at this time that bankers gen.
orally began to feel that the crest of
the high money movement had been
reached and that the late Autumn
would see decided improvement, max
ing possible q December Treasury note
issue at per cent. This was the
opinion up to the last week of No
vember when rates began to stiffen and
bond prices started to decline.
Unexpected Advance.
In the judgment Of specialists in
Government securities it would have
been possible two weeks ago to have
sold Treasury note on 4 per cent
basis. Unexpectedly, and contrary to
the Judgment of the Federal Reserve.
and as it appears to the Treasury De-
partment, money rates have since adj
vanced to the highest average this year
and all opportunity for financing the
December Treasury requirements at the
low figure has been lost. Opinion yes
terday afternoon was that the rate
would be Az per cent. This means that
again the Government is compelled to
pay considerably higher interest on
the certificates to be sold than is car
ried on the certificates that are ma
turing. 1t has been an expensive six
months for the Government in refinanc-
ing as well as for corporations that
have been forced to resort to the money
market for accommodations.
Secretary Mellon in his annual report
again urges on Congress an amendment
OF the Liberty loan act, which would
exempt future issues of Government
securities from the surtax.

HISTORIC CHICAGO GRAIN
PITS TO BE DESTROYED

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. December THE famil-
lar old gong whose deep-throated COM
mand: "Cease trading!" has rung out
each day for nearly half century
in the worlds largest grain marKeVS
will toll its last today.
When the grain pits, where fortunes
have been won and lost in hectic trad
ing. have obediently emptied themselves
and the traders, after a final service
in their ancient sanctuary, have filed
out into the street, an army OF Workmen
will take possession with pick and Sledge
and rip down the old stone structure OF
the board OF. trade.
In place of the famous landmark
that has looked down La Sale street
for a. years and has watched m1gnty
gkyscrapers of other financial nstltu-
tions rise to dwarf it, the board VIII
rear a new 44-story building OF monu-
mental design, towering 600 feet above
the street and with the land 1t oc-
cupies valued at $40, 900.
Dingy now, its floors worn and warped
with the Scuffling Of thousands OF feet,
the trading hall teens with the mem
ories of dramatic incidents OF its past.
It's history has lent color to many a
novel and into that history have been
woven the names of Philip Armour,
Joseph Letter, Arthur Cutten and
James Patten. Here grain futures trad
ing was developed to the point where:
last year, 1882, 100000 bushels OF
grain were sold for future delivery on
the Chicago board alone. In late years
q cotton pit has been added to the
grain and provisions exchanges, and
when the board of trade moves into its
new home 1t will begin to list stocks
and bonds on its own blackboard.

BY KENNETH S. VAN sTRUM.

NEW YORK, December 7-Interest
rates on both call loans and CONNER
cial paper for December will probably
be the highest for that month since
1920. despite the fact that rates de-
clined slightly during october and No
vember There now seems to be little
possibility that easier rates will come
before the first of the year. The ques-
ton arises, can the stock market con-
tinue to advance in the face of high
money rates.
When interest rates first began to
rise early this year, many were of the
opinion that stock prices would de-
cline Immediately. This feeling was
prompted by the widespread idea that
rising interest rates are unfavorable
to stocks, whereas falling rates are
favorable. This year, as stocks con-
tinued to rise in the face on increasing
interest rates, the theory was shaken
bit. The conclusion was evidently
reached that interest actually has lit
tie to do with stock prices, but that
the factor influencing stock to rise is
increasing business activity, making for
greater profits and higher dividends.
Interest Rates and Stock Prices.
The idea that stock prices and in
terest rates automatically move in OPP
posite directions has never been in
strict agreement with the facts. The
truth of the matter seems to be that
stocks begin to rise when interest rates
first begin to decline from high point,
but the stock market soon makes heavy
demands on the supply of credit. In
addition, business becomes more active
and requires more money. At this
point, with stock prices advancing and
fy,Sl ia1 i11nrno ciY
er demands are made upon the banks
for credit, and interest rates rise even
more rapidly. e
Rising interest rates do not cause
stock prices to decline at once, how.
ever, for at this point the business
outlook is usually good. Stocks gen.
orally continue to rise until improved
business has been fully discounted. BY
this time. interest rates usually will
have advanced quite sharply.
Warning Signals.
It Is not safe to credit any stock
market theory with too great mathe-
matical accuracy. Times change and.
economic forces do not always affect
a situation in exactly the same way.
twice. There are, however, two theories,
one originated by the Harvard Eco
nomic Society and the other by Col.
l.. P. Ayres, each of which have indi-
Gated in the past when rising money
rates have reached the point where
stock prices may soon be expected to
decline.
In the Harvard theory, an advance
of IA per cent in commercial paper
rates after correcting for seasonal
variation is taken as an indication that
stock prices may react. In Ayres' the
warning comes when commercial paper
rates are above Az per cent, the aver
age rate over long period of years.
Stocks Ignore High Money.

NEW YORK, December THE Diff
ficulty that even Secretary Of the
Treasury has in guaging the trend of
the present money market was indicated
yesterday in the preparations being
made for new issue of short-term
Government notes to take up obliga-
tions maturing on December Is.
In September it became necessary
for the Government to sell Az per
cent note in order to provide funds to
retire, in part, the outstanding third
Liberty AZ per cent bonds. This fol-
lowed long period during which the
refunding operations had been at sue
ceSsively lower rates of interest and
at rates under those of the maturing
issues. When the Az per cent certifi-
Gates were issued in September call
money was renewing at 71a per cent.
October Maturities.
In October other maturities had to
be taken care of and the embarrassment
of Treasury officials was increased when
call money rose to 10 per cent and
was renewing at per cent as the
policy regarding the rate to be offered
was being established.
That there might not be any chance
of failure of this issue, inasmuch as
the September Az per cent notes had
gone to a discount the Treasury out
bid the market slightly and put a rate
of 434 per cent on the October loan.
This subsequently advanced to a sub
Stantial premium and sold at a price
to yield about $50 per cent, as money
dropped from and 10 per cent down
to per cent in the following month.

Bearish Reports on Crop Outlook
Cause Price Drop
at Start.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, December t. Wheat
prices here tended downward early to-
day. despite relative strength shown by
the wheat market at Liverpool. Sellers
of wheat in Chicago outnumbered the
buyers, owing more or less to bearish
reports regarding the crop outlook for
domestic Winter wheat. Opening at
IA off, to % up, Chicago wheat later
showed material setback all around.
Corn, oats and provisions were COM
paratively firm, with corn starting 1s
to 81 higher, but subsequently reacting.
Wheat traders took particular notice
today of an official crop summary from
Kansas, the banner wheat State of the
country, saying that wheat is going into
the Winter this year abundantly sup
piled with moisture, and is generally
reported in good condition. Under such
circumstances the wheat market here
displayed a decided downward trend at
times in the face Of Liverpool advances
that were attributed to persistent buy
ing of Australian wheat for India,
where imports are expected to aggre-
gate 30,000000 bushels, compared to
usual exports of 100000 bushels to
20,000,000 bushels.
Corn opened higher In the absence
of any selling pressure, but afterward
reflected wheat weakness. Besides, ar
rivals of corn in Chicago today were
larger, 462 cars. On the other hand
there were intimations of some corn ex-
port business overnight.

duced a resolution in Congress to call
an international conference to simplify
the calendar.
The conference would be held some
time during 1929, when. its advocates
hope, 13-month calendar may be de-
cided upon by all the world, beginning
January /, 1888, which falls on Sun
day. The calendar would have months
| of % days each.
A number of Americas leading men
! and women are urging the change. Rea-
son? All months would have the same
| number of working days, Saturdays and
| Sundays, and accurate comparative sta
tistics would. for the first time, be avail
| able. SharpS on statistics would shout
with Joy. Each month would have the
same number of full weeks, and frac-

| month would be eliminated.
Everything to recommend It and
nothing to condemn it." says Repre-
| sentative Porter.
