NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-ForecaStS
as to what to anticipate the coming
year coupled with contemplated
huge expenditures for further ex-
pansion plans are probably more
conspicuous in the financial news
than any material change in the
business picture. One of our lead
ing banking institutions sounds the
almost unanimous opinion that a
slow start, gradual Improvement in
the spring, and then acceleration
later in 1880 is to be expected. With
in few days after the turn OF the
year the steel industry will prob
ably 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 untitled Or
ders, largely railroad source, it
would not be surprising if the steel
industry rapidly approached pro-
ductive capacity well above rs per
cent. Since the steel industry has
been one of the chief trade barom-
eters We anticipate that security
markets will quickly sense any de-
cided 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.

PORTE Phone
CASE APPEALED
We Lose EN- ALL Com
ment of Commission Chief.

we lose them ALL" was the COM
ment of Chairman John w. McCar-
die today when informed that CHI
ents of the La Porte County Tele-
phone Company are planning to ap-
peal the rate increases authorized
by the commission to the court.
An increase of the Terre Haute
Telephone Company already has
been appealed.
McCardles comment was in re-
gard 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 McCar-
die rewrote an order prepared by
Commissioner Calvin Mcintosh,
who heard the matter and failed to
grant increases McCardle thought
we're merited.
The La Porte case followed SINH
lar procedure with Commissioner
Frank Singleton conducting the
hearing.
McCardle said the raises were
granted to avoid appeals by the
companies.

CABLE REPORTS
SHOOT WHEAT
PRICES HIGHER
Buh News From Argentina
Is Received With
More Credence.
BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE
United Press stan Correspondent

CHICAGO, Dec. 30-Strong for
eign 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 IL cents higher. Corn
was unevenly higher to lower with
oats around steady.
At the opening, wheat was I'M
changed to 4 cent higher, corn was
u cent lower to p cent higher, and
oats was unchanged to Il cent lower.
Provisions were easy.
Liverpool was strong during the
morning, following the rise here
Saturday, and shortly after noon
was 1as to cents higher. The bull
news from Argentina is being given
more credence lately, especially by
foreign buyers.
Bears ignore 1t, feeling that the
surplus in Canada and the United
States will more than offset any
shortage. Export buying has hard
ened prices and the cash situation
Is extremely strong.
There still is between 5000, 900 and
100000 bushel open interest in corn
and their closing today and Tuesday
will be the principal interest in the
market. Deferred holders are rest
ing, waiting to see the extent of the
country run. Weather today is IA
vorable for movement.
Oats trade had been very light,
with numerous traders getting out
OF December and taking May. This
is the principal influence.

DUTCH ELM DISEASE
MENACES u. S. TREES
No Method to Control Infection Yet
Discovered.
BIZ Science Serrice

BIZ Science Serrice
DIES MONIES, Dec. 30.-America' S
most beautiful shade tree, the state
ly elm, may follow the chestnut to
destruction if infected by the Dutch
elm disease, which already has de-
vastated the elms of Holland, Bel
GUM, France and Germany, said DR..
Christine Buisman, noted profess
sor of plant pathology of the Uni
versity of Utrecht, Netherlands, in
addressing the twenty-f1rst annual
meeting of the American Phyto-
pathological Society here today.
Methods of controlling the disease
have not yet been found, DR.. Buis-
man said. The only thing that can
be done now is to test varieties of
elm to determine their resistance
and propagate 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 it's branches suddenly wither and
turn down. The leaves do not fall
Immediately, those in the top re-
manning for several weeks. In the
wood of a diseased tree conspicuous
reddish-brow streaks become Wis
ible. 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.

other sites. The buildings could be
converted easily, centralizing all

Office space at the Irvington loca-
ton, he said.
1t was reported that the property
could be purchased for $4,000.

VISIONED ON
1880 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 1880 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 Com
pany, Montgomery Ward g. Co., F.
w. Woolworth Company, New York
Central Railroad, Atchison Railroad.
Canadian Pacific Railway and other
leaders in the nations 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 1890 business will be
considered exceedingly good if the
1929 record is only equaled.
Records Are Set
During 1929 new high records
we're made in aggregate individual
income, corporate earnings, iron and
steel production, automobile produc-
ton, railroad earnings, bank clear
ingS and various phases of retail
trade. Toward the latter part of
the year some recession was felt in
leading lines, as a natural result
from unprecedented summer &C
tivitiy.
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 mar
ket break left American banking
institutions, individual investors and
! business leaders in a position where
sound conditions could be built for
the future. AS a result 1880 bust
ness appears to be headed for
higher levels, after a few months
of readiustment 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 pro-
duction, both of which eased of to
their lowest levels of the year.
Retail lines have suffered mostly
from the decline in public purchas-
ing 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 1890.
From various sections Of the
country, a feeling of confidence IS
apparent and the usual keynote Is
business as usual"

BANDITRY Is RIFE IN

Groups of Villagers Form Bands to
Obtain Food by Force,

Obtain Food by Force.
By Unitcd Press
PEIPING, Dec. 30.-An alarming
increase in banditry in at least ten
of China's eighteen provinces is in
dicated in reports received by for
eign legations here from their con-
SulS.
This state of affairs is attributed
chiefly to the persistence Of civil
war.
The consular reports state that
most of the bandits are not profess
SIGNALS, but men and women who
have been driven to prey upon their
neighbors because of desperate need
of food.
In some of the cases reported,
whole villages banded together 10
make raids upon neighboring VIII
lagos to obtain food supplies. Sucn
instances were reported from Szech-
wan, Hupeh, Kansu, AnhWei and
Fukian provinces.

NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-Quiet
strength was displayed on the
Stock Exchange today, despite
presence of additional selling for
tax losses. Most issues gained frac-

held the majority Of the advance.
For a time in the morning
tickers were five minutes or more
behind the market, due to execu-
ton of many small lots. This sell
ing was mostly for tax losses.
Several of the rails, utilities and
leading industrials were in demand.
Oils were firm after easier ten
denotes at the outset. Motor shares
held about steady. Mail order
stocks moved higher and amuSe-
ments improved under the lead of
Fox Film A, which rose more than
a point on short covering.
