Chicago Feb. 28.-Wheat at the opening did
not appear to be wanted badly, although the
Cincinnati Price Current was bullish and
much of the foreign news was damaging.
Liverpool was weak and the local crowd
seemed determined to follow the English lead,
the prices here declining principally in sym
pathy with that market. The receipts of
wheat at Minneapolis and Duluth were 329
cars. and the export clearances of wheat and
-four from the Atlantic ports amounted to
100000 bushels. The Liverpool market
closed at from 4 to x penny decline. Wheat
at Paris was quoted 10 confines higher for
March and confines lower for May and
August. Berlin quoted 4 mark advance in
wheat. May opened at 537s with some sales at
53XdD7s, 1t rose to 54l4 sold down again to
537s, dropped to 53sseA and was steady at
53a491s about twenty minutes from the close.
A threatened cold wave restrained many who
We're otherwise inclined to press sales near the
end and May closed at 5334'
Corn had very little support from local deal
ers and not much from outside, The fuctua-
lions were confined to narrow range, the
highest for May being 44sstG34, and the low
est 445s, the latter ruling at the close. The
opening trades we're at 45ssgss against Asa at
the close OF the previous afternoon.
A dull session was passed in the oat market,
Fluctuations were ruled entirely by corn.
May started at 39Ss, sold up to 291s, down to
29l4 and was offered at that price at the end.
The provision market was firm for the most
part. it is said, due to the covering OF shorts
by Cudahy. The Cudahy Packing Company
was credited with buying 100000 pounds of
ribs and $500 or 1000 barrels of pork May
pork closed at loo advance. Lard and ribs

An Echo Of tho Battle of Pea Ridge,


William Jones, an old and we'll

ture on the morning of Dec 4. He, with
his son, William, had been making q
tour Of five or six counties east Of this

turn they camped for the night on Pea
Ridge battlefield. On arising in the
morning they made big log fire and
were waiting for their breakfast when
tremendous explosion took place. A
chunk Of wood struck the old gentle.
man on the head, knocking him down,
while at the same instant larger stick
from the campfire struck the younger
man on the shoulders. Daylight reveal.

CANALS OF THE FUTURE.
They viii Be Large Enough For the Han
ding Of Heavy Business.

They VIII Be Largo Enough For the Han
ding Of Heavy Business.
The history Of the struggle between
canals Of small dimensions and Of rail-
roads has been the same in all countries.
The fight ragged bitterly for number Of
years, the canals acting on the defen-
sive, although they had as allies the
states under whose patronage they were
built and operated. The result has been
the same in all cases-the unconditional
surrender Of the canals to the railroads.
This however, is not so much the fault
Of the system as Of their management.
The railroads have great advantages
over canals. They ore better able to
abridge distances both by reason Of supe.
rior speed and Of facilities for overcom.
ing elevations, spanning streams, free
from danger of destructive floods, and
piercing through the highest mountains,
but their great success is mainly due to
tho fact that they have kept pace with
the progress Of the world
Waterways built from the beginning
OF the eighteenth century to the first
quarter Of the nineteenth century were
regarded ample to meot the requirements
of trade at the time they were construct
ed, and there was in many instances a
progressive improvement In their dimen-
sions and appurtenanoes. But while the
industrial, agricultural and commercial
developments Of the world have ad-
vanced to proportions not dreamed of q
century ago canals have remained sta.
tionary. They are now obsolete and can
no longer fulfill the requirements of
cheap transportation in competition
with railroads The canals of the future
must have the dimensions and the faoili.
ties for rapid transport to adapt them to
the new conditions Of commerce. They
must not be barge or boat canals, but
ample waterways for the free passage of
such ships as are now engaged in carry
ing, the worlds trade. OF such canals
we have now some important types in
successful operation, and others in proc
ess Of construction or in completion. -

During political campaign, we'll
known lawyer in western state was
addressing an audience composed prin-
cipally Of farmers. Like wise speaker
and shrewd candidate-he tried to
suit his speech to the occasion.
In tone which he evidently oonsid.
cred both cordial and honest, and with
winning smile, he began:
my friends, my sympathies have al.
ways been with the tillers Of the soil.
My father was practical farmer, and
so was my grandfather before him. /
myself was born on farm and was, so
to speak, reared between two stalks Of
corn"
Here his eloquenoe was rudely inter.
rupted by the trumpet tones Of farmer
in the rear Of the hall.
"Jimniny crickets!" he shouted, "if
you amt pumpkin"
The house "oame down." and the
candidate, for the moment at least, was

Rubinstein's Charity.

Rubinstein had probably travelled
more than other any virtuoso. In his
time he made many fortunes and gave
them away to the poor in Russia. Dur.
ing the famine which ragged among the
Russian peasants few years ago he
journeyed to Vienna, Moscow and st.
Petersburg to play for charity. The price
of seats rose to unheard of figures, but
every penny of the money went to tho
starving farmers, 1t is said that in the
course Of % years the sum which he
thus disposed Of amounted to $3.50, 900.

THE POPE AND HIS WORK.
What He Has Accomplished Of Unity and
What Remains to Be Done.

What He Has Accomplished of Unity and
What Remains to Be Done.
II Leo XIII were so instead Of 81, he
might hope to change tho face Of Chris
tendon. His zeal, his faith, his per-
sistent pursuit of unity could hardly
fail to leave their mark upon events.
Even in the 10 years Of his pontifcate
he has achieved more than it seemed
possible for pope to compass. He has
made peace with the French republic
and the Russian czar, and if he has not
effected reconciliation with the king
dom Of Italy it is because he has salts.
fed himself that to do SO would be pre-
mature and inexpedient. He has, III
large measure, the imagination without
which no great object is ever attained.
What to less hopeful souls seems like
dream is to him a present reality. He
looks out over che world, and he is not
in the least daunted by the weary spec
tacle that meets his gaze. He sees dis
sension and schism all around him, but
he sets to work to bring unity out OF
confusion as cheerfully as though his
object were already half attained.
His eyes are turned at one and at the
same time on England, on the east and
and on the United States. To each in
turn be holds opt an Invitation to come
back to his fold;sfor each in turn he
does his utmost to make reconciliation
easier. If reunion were purely ques-
ton Of temperpwe should set the great
est possible store by his efforts. But
though q soft answer may turn away
wrath 1t is pUwerless to generate con-
yiction. What stands between the pope
and those whom he addresses is differ
ence Of belief. What to one is self evil
dent truth is to the other contradic-
tion Of history. The conception of church
authority which underlies the papal ap'
peals is radically different from that
which commends itself to the Orthodox
eastern, to the Anglican, to the Protes'
tant. The pope hardly understands,
however, chat before any OF these Can
come as suppliants to his feet they must
be sure Of something more than a kindly
welcome. They must have undergone
an Intellectual conversion. They mus
have been convinced by papal argu
ments, not merely conciliated by papa
kindness. s.-London Spectator. .,
