NEWS OF THE STOCK MARKET

NEW YORK, March 3.—Gains ranging from material fractions to a full point marked the opening of today's trading, with a few off-setting features, mainly in rails and war issues. Speculation was moderate and cautious, however, there being plainly a further disposition to await the outcome of developments in Washington. Commission houses reported a cessation of out of town liquidation but public interest on the U-uying side continued negligible. Prices yielded before the end of the half hour with special weakness in Baldwin Locomotive and allied issues.

A spirited rise in oils, American Locomotive and some other active industrials succeeded the decline in Baldwin, ami prices recovered to or above yesterday's finals. Mexican Petroleum and (Texac Co. rose 3% each, and American

Locomotive Rained almost 3 points. Some specialties displayed greater weakness, however, General Motors losing 10. Trading became very apathetic later, first hour's turnover being fthe smallest of recent days and showW? increased dullness. cnds*were steady. rices? showed greater firmness in the

ft&tes

tia! hour under the lead of United Steel. The closing was strong.

TO THE VOTERS OF VIGO COUNTY

I have made an honest effort to interest the voters of the county in ray behalf for the democratic nomination of County Clerk in the campaign just closing.

Owing to the short time I have had since my announcement, it will be impossible for me to see every one, and am taking this means to make the following statement:

I was born in Merom, Sullivan county, Indiana, and received my education at Union Christian college at that place taught school for Ave years and came to Terre Haute in 1885 and engaged to work in the dry goods business was sent on the road to sell goods and continued in that work for twenty-two years.

Since leaving that occupation I have engaged in the real estate, insurance and commission business. 7

I have been voting the democratic ticket and helping to elect •democratic candidates for thirty years and have been a tax payer for a quarter of a century.

I was president of the Jackson club in the best days of its usefulness.

I was elected to the city council in 1898, serving four years, and during that service was chairman of the ordinance committee, which brought the Southern Indiana railroad into the city.

I helped to organize the Commercial club, served on its first board of directors and gave my time and best efforts to help business conditions of the city and to bring factories to Terre Haute.

Without any solicitation I was appointed city controller the first of 1914, and to thoBe duties were added that of city purchasing agent (without extra help), and in that dual position, which kept me working after hours, evenings and Sundays, the office records will show that many thousands of dollars were saved the tax payers, compared with a like period In the previous year's disbursements, but I was dismissed on account of my failure to agree with the administration's financial policy.

I make the above statements for the reason that I am seeking your support for the nomination of County Clerk, and you have a right to know everything about me which concern® my candidacy.

I am not on any "slate," just a plain democrat with high ideals about business and political life and must depend on the people to consider my qualifications, age and experience in public life as a guide in choosing an available candidate.

I feel that I have made good in the smaller positions of trust in which I have been placed, have stood the "acid" test, and come, now, to the voters with "clean hands," asking them to nominate and elect me to the more important office of County Clerk, where I cannot be discharged in the performance of my swqrn duty.

My number on the official ballot is 30 to vote for me place an "X" in the "first choice" column to the right of my name and number. Thanking you in advance for your favorable consideration. I am

Respectfully,

CHICAGO BOaRB OF TRADE.

CHICAGO, March 2.—Higher prices at Liverpool gave strength today to the wheat market here. The bulls seemed to be encouraged also by the prospect th&t the submarine issues In the congress would be sidetracked.

Opening quotations which ranged from Vi to 1% higher, with May at $1*11 @1.12, and July at $1.09%@ 1.09%, were followed by a slight further gain and then a moderate setback.

The close was firm, 2% @2% net higher, with May at $1.13% and July at $1.11 '/4

Crop damage reports from Argentina tended to lift the corn market. Advances, however, brought about increased selling and caused a reaction. After opening unchanged to nigher, prices underwent a material sag.

The close was firm at to net advance. Oats paralleled the action of corn. Trading was only of a scattered character.

Higher prices on hogs put a little firmness into provisions. The market was fairly active.

February Report Shows Falling Off In Number of Remittances to European Countries.

The February report of the United States postofflce money order department, completed Friday, shows in most instances an increase over February of last year, both in number of orders issued and amount of money sent. Herman Raabe, in charge of the local office, said the shortage in the international orders was due to the war in Europe which has caused a decrease in value of foreign currency, and many of the people who formerly sent money through the postofflce now give it to the bankers to send.

In the domestic department the number of orders sent in February this year was 4,343, while that of February, 1915, was 4,112. The receipts for this year were $36,305.29, and at "this time last year they were $37,537. The fees for this February amounted to 5290.15, and last February to $289.76. This year the reports shows a number of small seed-orders which make the fees small.

Last year during February the number of international orders amounted to 124 while tihs year there were only 55 sent. The receipts from this department last year amounted to $2,222.77 and for this year they amounted to $850.30. The fees of this year were $10.80, and for last year were $27.90.

There is a decrease of about $10,000 in the amount of remittances sent this year. This, Mr. Raabe said, was due to the changes in the coal fields in
