Little Folks Go to Their Theater Record Crowd of Youngsters See Presentation of “little Women.” Children began to pour Into the Burgee e-Nash auditorium two hours before the performance of "Little Women,” which was the opening number of the children’s theater yes terday, and by the time the play began the hall was crowded to the limit. Children stood along the walls and perched upon the grand piano. The youthful actors even had a chance to sympathize with their col leagues of the Shakespearian days, when a row of noblemen usually sat upon the stage Itself, for a quartet *'f youngsters balanced themselves upon the shield that protected the footlights. About 500 persons managed to wedge themselves into the room, w hile many ethers were turned away for. lack of space. The attendance marks the high water mark for' the children's theater, which at its open ing a few years ago thought itself lucky to attract more than a score of listeners. The youthful actors appeared a trifle disconcerted at first by the size and'^activity of their audience, hut recovered themselves and gave an extremely creditable performance. . They were received with applause and a number of their listeners asked for another performance of the play, which was given several times last > ear. "Little Women” will be repeated next Saturday afternoon at 3 at the Harriet B. Monroe home for the bene fit of the crippled children there. The same oast will take part.

Feb. 9.—Wheat again proved Itself a "poor” sale today. Following a false break early, which resulted In the building up of a rather general, local short Interest, prices rallied briskly as in fluential buying hit the pit and closed with a. substantial gain. The support which absorbed all offerings, was largely credit ed to leading elevator houses. Wheat closed H&lHo higher; com wss H®‘4e advanced; oat* were He lower to Ho higher, and rye ruled Ho higher to t He lower*. Back of the buying power In the wheat [pit which displayed a tendency to broad en, was probably the belief that the agri cultural service corporation which is to [have millions of dollars available for [the rehabilitation of the northwest will make enrly progress In Its good work. [ Aa in the wheat pit local traders sold corn off during the first hour, but they [covered at higher levels. Support wss [credited to several prominent operators, | as well as to an elevator house. Cash [corn was in itcHva deinund with premi ums up % €P He, Primary recelpfa of [corn totaled 9.083,000 bushels against 10, 400.000 bushels the previous week. Oats failed to follow the late bulge of other grains In entirety and closed irreg ular. Commission houses were on both sides fcf the market, while shorts covered at the Inst. Trade in rye vie utterly featureless. Provisions closed lower. laird wss un ch.ingcd to 6c lower and ribs were lower. _ , |*lt Note*. Primary receipts of wheat for the w^ok aggregated 4.4*1.000 bushels compared with 6.293.000 bushels last year. Clear ances from North Amerb a have enlarged lately, and thp domestic milling trade continues active for this season of the year. The anticipation of n steady d crease In the visible supplies from now on bus been a sustaining factor In the local Pit. * _ The consumptive demand in Kurope this year ha* surpassed nil early esti mate*. and the truth of thla I* Juat now overcoming, the furt that auppllea the world over hgve hern plentiful. Kurope luia taken more wheat thla year than lust from the aurpltia, while It* native .rope have hem Increased. Works of wheat In the United King dom ere low. and the Immediate alt na tion la not Indicative of any change. World shipment* of wheat thla week were over 20.000,000 bushel*, hut Idver pool closed strong today. l’ollttral news front Kurope was regarded as more fa v ora hie. The majority In the grain trade are prone to hHleve that the stock* of wheat hark on the farina aro very light How ever. < oh grain men Imre today advised t« , - i aril wheat more freely The receipt* continue persistently light in all mar lo-o, sn«| |t |* hardtv probable that there will he any material Increase from now on.
