MUNICE, Ind, Dec. A well

w. &C. Durant and associates, pnr-
chased the Sheridan Motor Car
Company plant a few months ago.
has sold the major portion of his

that Mr.. Burke will still be a stock
holder in the company. also in Du-

his relations with Mr.. Durant will
continue
Another feature Of this situation,
also well substantiated, is that Mr..
Burke is to occupy a high position
in the parent Durant organization
in New York.
Mr.. Burke. when asked regarding
the facts in the case, was not in

am quite positive that the public
will be astounded at the progress
made by Durant Motors and it's re-

HOLIDAY EVENING UP

Dry Weather in Northwest

wheat prices to-day after an early bulge.

gained u to l ssc. and oats u TO hc.

lower.
At first, wheat responded readily TO
continued dry, hot weather in the
Northwest and TO predictions that un-
less general rains came soon north
western crops would be greatly reduced
Upturns. however, increased the dispo-
sition of many holders to even up be-
fore the adjournment of the board un-
til Tuesday. especially as the weather
map Indicated possibility of cooler and
unsettled weather. Besides monthly
crop estimates were less bullish than
expected, and the seaboard reported
England trying to resell because Of
larger Aurtralian offerings. In addi-
ton, Belgium was reported as purchas-
nestic acceptances of bids to the coun-
try were on liberal scale. In such cir
cumsts noes the market lacked support in
the last half of the day and finished
near the bottom.
Nebraska advices of corn curling in
the fields and of hot winds in South
Dakota lifted corn. Smallness of re-
ceipts strengthened oats.
Provisions were governed chiefly by
the action OF the hog market.
