PAGE TEN Grain Futures Sweep Higher Buying Follows Upward Adjustment Of Corn Ceilings By WILLIAM LOCHNER CHICAGO, Dec. &-VP-AU grain futures prices were swept sharply higher today by general buying resulting from confusion over the effects of the upward adjustment in corn ceilings and temporary freezing of oats and -barley at the highest prices pre vailing between November 29 and December 3. - All deliveries of wheat, except September, and of oats pushed 'into new seasonal high levels, with oats and bar ley, at times showing gains of 4 cents or more bushel. Wheat finished the day 1 to 2 cents higher than Saturday's close, December 1.683i, May $1.84-, rye closed 2H to 2 cents up, December $1.18-, ' oats ended the day with gains of 1 to 34 cents, December 81H 80, and barley was up 3 cents, December $1.21. The markets were rather easily Influenced by any good buying and selling, which in general came from commission house and pro fessional interests, and were in clined to fluctuate nervously with extreme rapidity. December oats at one time sold at 82 cents, the ceiling price on No. 2 white oats as determined by directors of the exchange. Di rectors in a statement explained this ceiling with the fact that the OPA set an 80 cent a bushel ceiling on No. 3 white, while rv'es of the exchange permit of a de livery of that grade on future con tracts at 1 cents discount un . der contract price. No. 2 white and No. 1 red sold at ceiling in the cash market. The maximum ceiling price for barley futures under the tempor ary regulations is $1.28 a bushel.

O'HARA NEW YORK, Dec. 4-)-Stocks with armament connections gave the best performance in today's market but top gains were estab lished in most cases before the communique of the "big three" conferences at Teheran appeared on the news tickers. Reading of the Iran declara tion confirmed earlier forecasts that nothing in the way of a quick-peace promise would be contained in the allied pronun ciamento and the long-depressed war infants came to life, after a mixed opening, for gains running to a point or more. Dealings, fast on the morning comeback, slowed appreciably as trends faltered. The Associated Press average of 60 stocks held a net advance of .2 of a point at 48. The market was fairly broad, 862 individual issues registering pn the tape. Of these, 473 were up, 179 down and 210 unchanged. Transfers of 823,- 500 shares compared with 558,870 Friday and were the largest since November 19. American Ice Preferred was a last-minute jumper up 6 points Pepsi-Cola, Allied Chemical, J. I Case, Philip Morris and Pullman emerged .with plus signs of a point or so each. Lesser gains were retained by US Steel, Good rich, Goodyear, Douglas Aircraft, United Aircraft, Chrysler, Santa Fe, NY Central, Southern Paci fic, Texas Co., Anaconda, Eastman Kodak and Sears Roebuck. American Distilling, General Motors, Consolidated Edison and Great Northern were a shade un der water. Immune Bean Plant Used For New Hybrid A bean plant in Montana that a plant breeder recognized as im mune to mosaic disease has be come the parent of a number of new hybrid varieties obtained by crossing it with standard commer cial sorts. Extensive testing work with the new hybrids was done at the Wis consin agricultural experiment station. The new resistant varie ties have produced yields just as big and of as good a quality as the original commercial sorts. By somewhat the same process federal plant breeders at Oregon State college have developed cur-lytOp-resistant hybrids by cross ing one resistant variety with other non-resistant commercial sorts.

M. Zeller, plant pathologist at the OSC experiment station. . . - .-.-i-: In a revision of a former cir cular of information Dr." Zeller says that the sources of infection are the spots on the old leaves and canse. hence the sooner they are removed after the crop is har vested the better. The most satisfactory spray so far found is lime-sulphur in the strength of 10 gallons for 100 gal lons of spray. This is applied once in February or March, after the old canes have been cut out and the new fruiting canes have been trellised. The appearance of the disease vories with different varieties. On some the spots are light brown on others dark brown, ranging in size from small spots to those an eighth of an inch in diameter. MICKEY MOUSE THIMBLE THEATRE ISMT IT WONDERFUL?
