WHEAT OPENS FIRM WITH SLIGHT RAISE CHICAGO, Aprils 27. The wheat market opened firm today at prices I fractionally higher than yesterday's close. Commission house bought freely at the aUrL . which, with the easier ton ; in the northwest started local traders to selling, and prices declined rapidly. May opened at $1.13 and July at $1.15. Corn opened firm at practically unchanged prices. May started at 76 and July " at 77. The oats market was slightly weaker and lower. Better weather conditions had a depressing effeet. Provisions were erratic and trade was Jight. Wheat closed, around the. bottom prices on heavy sellings late by those who bought early, reflecting an unconfirmed message from New , York of an unsatisfactory answer from Germany to the United States over the submarine qustion. The net losses for the day were to c, and this, too, in the face of the taking of one million bushels of Durham , wheat by the Greek government. ';-' Corn closed U to Jic lower, and oats awere .c to M c lower.. Cash sales here were: Wheat, 15,000- bushels; corn. 145,000 bushels; oats.. 95,000.

DEMOCRATS CLOSE STATE CONVENTION WITHOUT FRICTION INDIANAPOLIS. Ind., April 27. Hardly had the Democratic state con ventlon- ended when the state central committee met in a brief session and discussed the coming campaign. From the smiles on the faces of the leaders itwas evident that they are confident no factional disturbances, so often the result of state conventions, will stare them in the face this fall. The head of . every committee, as well as the "silent leaders" steered the Democratic ship carefully to avoid dissention. The ticket follows: United States senator, (long term,) John W. Kern; (short term,) Thomas Taggart; governor, J. A. M. Adair, Portland; lieutenant-governor. Mason J. Niblack, Vincennes; -secretary of state, Homer L. Cook, Indianapolis; auditor of state, Dale.

This report has not been confirmed, however.' George W. Davis, president of the Davis company, said today that he probably would have a statement ready for publication tomorrow. . He did not discuss what progress had been made in the"" reported negotiations for the local factory buildings of the Westcott company. The , primary reason for the motor car company's removal to Springfield, it is stated, is to obtain increased facil ities .for production. In Its effort to keep pace : with the demand for its product, the Westcott company has pushed the production facilities of its Richmond plant to the limit: and, with no room at its present site, it became necessary to .seek a new location. In the last two years Westcott cars have gained rapidly In popularity and distribution has been extended to all parts of the country, Burton J. Westcott, president of the IgirHE RAILROAD STORE

"Now that it has factory facilities, the Westcott company will permit itself to, grow conservatively. The new property will undergo extensive improvements and remodeling before we occupy it. As it grows,, the Westcott company, however, will not permit itsself to forget that the reason for its success has been an unswerving determination to build its product altogether to a quality standard. It is this fact more than any other that has been responsible for the rapidly increasing popularity of Westcott cars.
