MINNEAPOLIS.

MINNEAPOLIS, March r. Rains ev-
cry where. and predictions of more rain
10 follow. This was the influence in
wheat this morning. and the market was
naturally weak from the start. May
opened at 7312c, and broke to 731sc. Sell
ing was the rule at the start, many hold
the bull factors that were SO much to
the front of late Liverpool was 1403sd
lower at the close. This Liverpool weak
ness Broomhall attributed not alone to
the setback in American markets, but
in good part to increased offerings of
Manitoba wheat in the Liverpool cash
market for shipment early in the spring.
Many of the minor items of news carried
a slight tinge of bearishness and the feel
ing IN Chicago was one of depression.
About the only STRENGTHENING thing dis
coverable was the moderate run of wheat
into Northwestern markets.
Local receivers do not expect any ma
tetla. Increase for the present, and the
OPINION is expressed that the market will
run into seeding time with about the
present daily showing. Scattered reports
of seeding have been received, although
IT is of course too early yet for any gen
eral work. Should receipts, however, con-
tlnue as moderate as at present, for a
few weeks more. the season of active
farm work will be here, and it would be
reasonable to expect receipts TO drop off
even more.
These light receipts here, with contin-
ued good cash demand, have made Min
neapoliS relatively a shade frmer and the
difference between here and Chicago mar
roWed this morning to 25sc at times
AT noon the market turned firmer on
reports of good export inquiry and Is
loads taken.
Primary estimates were $4,000 bu, COM
pared with sos, 600 bu last year. and shin
ments of al 600 blu, against 261 600 Wheat
ana ana Hour clearances equaled $4,000 blu.
Minneapolis received $50 cars, compared
with 81. and Duluth 20, compared with 10
last year
The market closed firm and higher for
the day, with the strength due principal
ly to covering of short traders on the re-
ported export business. May closed at
f59sQ15Ac, July 74BQ75c; Chicago May
closed at 76bc.

connection with the school be
severed, and his parent or guard
ian will be requested to withdraw
him. Within short time we ex-
pect to start a School Library,
one of the necessary adjuncts of
a progressive school. 1t is hoped
that parents will encourage their
children to study at night-it
would be an excellent thing for
each family to institute a study
period of from two to three hours
each night, and to see to it that
nothing interferes with this
period.
In conclusion, we bespeak the
unanimous support of our patrons
and friends in every effort that
is made for the upbuilding of the
school.
Respectfully,
CHAs. F. DUrroN, Principal.

PRECOClOUS AUTHORS.

Successful Plays That Were wR1tten
by Boys In Their Teens.
Was successful play ever written
by a boy of fourteen? asks CORE
spondent. Yes. This seeming miracle
has happened at least three times. The
best known example Of the precocious
playwright 10 the celebrated L0pe de
Ia Vega. the most prolific dramatist
known to history. He produced his
first play, a comedy, entitled la Pas
toral de Jacinto." before he had COM
pleted hts fourteenth year, and this
was considered such a marvellous per-
Torrance that he is known to this day
In Spanish literature as "the Prodigy
of Nature" Another spaniard and con-
temporary Of La Vega. Pedro Calde-
ron, wrote his first play when he was
thirteen. Metastasio wrote his tragedy
"Giustino" and had it produced when
he was fourteen on the stage at Bo-
logna.
OF English playwrights Douglas Jer-
rold. the famous author of BLACK
Eyed Susan" also furnishes an answer
to the question. In 1918. before he had
completed his fifteenth year. he wrote
very well known farce entitled
More Frightened Than Hurt" 1t was
very successful on the English stage.
and the French considered it good
enough to steal. Curiously enough.
this French translation was retrans-
lated Into English and again produced
on the English boards under the title
Of Fighting by Proxy" Another very
remarkable instance Of different sort
Of precocity was that Of William Hen
~ Ireland. who when he was about
fifteen actually produced some plays
which he attributed to Shakespeare
and which, although afterward proved
to be for2eries, were accepted by the
experts of the time as genuine.-Pear.
