RAINY DAY PREDICTIONS
THEY CAUSED A WEAKER TONE IN
THE WHEAT MARKET.
Corn and Oats Closed Unchanged from
Wednesdays Prices-PrOvtsiOns
n Shade Down in Pork.

CHICAGO, May 17-With the prediction
of rain in the Northwest to-day came
price fall in wheat, July closing sale I'M
der yesterday Corn and oats closed I'M
changed and provisions unchanged to nc
lower.
The trade in wheat throughout the ses-
sion was about as quiet as a Quaker meet
ing. The opening was firm because Liver
pool was a little higher, but later the
weather man said the conditions pointed to
rain in the thirsty Northwest, and ideas
concerning the present value of wheat
shrank somewhat. July. having opened I'M
changed at 66a4Q667sc. touched $3.50. turned
tail and slid down to 66Ac, with very little
support Traders were inclined to moth
ing serious in the continued precipitation
of moisture in the Southwest and heark-
ened to the Price Current opinion that the
past week had been, with a few exceptions
favorable to the crop. The close, July $50
PC under yesterday at 66ssc, was barely
steady. That the close was not at the bot
tom was probably due to the corn firmness
during the last half of the day. Primary
receipts were $4,000 bushels, compared with
314 900 last year. Minneapolis and Duluth
reported 255 cars, against 259 last week and
263 year ago. Receipts here were % cars.
none of contract grade. Clearances in
wheat and flour were equal to $4,000 BUSH
els. The shipping demand was slack, and
New York reported only nine loads taken
for export.
The corn market YVES somewhat irregu-
lar, there being spots of weakness and
others of strength. The greater number of
the local spectators were contributors to
the weakness, while the heaviest Of the
traders were largely responsible for the
strength. The opening was firm on higher
cables, but shortly afterward the market
turned weak, many selling In sympathy
with the wheat decline. Later, after vari-
Gus nervous demonstrations, the price was
carried to where il was at the close last
night. July sold between 371zc and 3S1s@
3SAc, closing firm and unchanged from yes
terday at CSC. Receipts here were 157 cars.
The trade In oats was not important, and
the fluctuations showed the influence of
corn. The crop prospect was reported IA
vorable. July sold between &c and 229sc,
closing firm and unchanged from yesterday
at 22l4622Sc. Receipts here were l39 cars.
Provisions opened lower because hog re-
ceipts were large and prices at the yards
softer but held steady after the first con-
cession there being a fair demand and
better export inquiry. July pork sold be-
tween $11.721a and $11.SO411.S21z, and closed
| nc under yesterday at $11.S0; July lard be-
tween $7@7.021a, closing shade lower at
$.07jA, and July ribs between $3.50 and
Sc. 721A, with the close unchanged at witty.
Estimated receipts tomorrow: Wheat, 10
cars; corn, los cars; oats. 175 cars; hogs, 25,-
600 head.

 Little Out of the Usual
 It always disturbs me, aaid Mir. Ellington, to see a man OF the e1e- vated road offer his seat to a woman when he is about to get off; he has perhaps let her stand in front of him for blocks. and now when he is about to give Up his seat anyway he makes show of giving it to her. a curious exhibition of about three-qaarters con- ceit and the rest cheek. Usually the woman pays no attention to this man: she takes the seat without thanks, without taking any notice of the man whatever.

ohirdre,. and Ghost stories.

Tte attempt to keep your children IA ignorance of stories about ghosts, fairies, giants and gypsies would cer- sainly prove futile. If they are of a nervous and imaginative temperament they will invent new terrers for them selves instead of the ole traditional ones. A little girl of six, who had been jealously guarded against any acquaintance with nursery bogies and superstitions, suffered from night ter TOTS of Q severe kind, in which she always screamed out that she was be- ing chased by robbers. But while it may be impractieable to protect chil- dren from a knowledge of the super natural and mysterious, it is inexcus- able to frighten them with hideous stories or to leave them a prey to ths terrors of the solitude and darkness.

spanIsh school System.

Prlvate houses are now rented under the Spanish school system. which pro- vided that the teachers, with their families, should live in such houses, the rent being part payment for their services. They also collected fees from children whose parents could pay. The balance of their compensation was of ten much ir arrears, and many of the teachers have not been paid for their work for the past two and one-half years prior to American occupation. No one is allowed toliye in the school houses now. The salaries range from $50 to $75 per month, according to the size of the municipality. The principals receive $10 extra per month. No cer- tifcates are required of the teachers this year, but will be after Aug. 1. The teachers are appointed by the local boards of education, which in turn are appointed by the mayors.
