LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUCE.
4 Big Months Trade Assured, with
Prices StendY and Firm.

In most lines the volume of business this month
has already reached that of June, 1897, and the
remainder of the month will represent the gain
ever last year. Taken whole, better prices
have been realized Wholesale grocers have been
among the busiest of the merchants. Druggists
leather dealers hardware and iron merchants and
commission houses have this month done the
largest trade in years The provision market has
been active but prices have been somewhat I'M
settled. with the produce men the volume OF
business has been very satisfactory. Prices in
this market and in the East which draws its
supplies largely from this section. have for some
time past been unusually steady. In all lines of
trade the conditions healthy and promising

The Garstnng Engine.

The current number of the Railroad Ga
zette contains a cut of the consolidated
Garstang locomotive No. 700, which is MAX
ing such an excellent record and Mr..
Garstang, superintendent of motive power
of the Big Four, makes the following state
ment concerning the engine ard its work
prior to getting this engine the maximum
gross tonnage hauled with the largest en-
CINE on the Big Four was ,050 tons. In de-
signing this engine VIC aimed to produce one
that would handle 80 per cent more ton
mage than is being hauled by the Engines
now in service We have accomplished this
in engine No. 100 and have done still better.
The engine is handling very nearly so per
cent. more tonnage per train than the larg-
est engine the Big -Four owns. The engine
is doing her work economically. the largest
consumption of fuel made up to the present
time being 34S pounds Of coal per car mile,
or .O9 pounds of coal per ton mile.
The boiler is large, being sixty-four inches
in diameter, of the extended wagon-top
type, and made for a working pressure of
100 pounds. A large heating surface is pro-
Is feet 6 inches in length over the tube
sheets. The firebox is ia inches in length
by 417s inches in width, without brick arch,
and has heating surface of 1105 square
feet. The weight of the engine proper is
150.500 pounds; boiler diameter, sixty-four
inches The engine has 800 tubes two inches
in diameter, has a working pressure of 1870
pounds and heating surface of 2,43l square
feet.

WEAKER WHEAT PRICES
FIRMNEsS AT THE OPENING SOON
AFTER ENTIRELY WIPED OUT.
Bears Fear Armour VIII BE Harder
to Handle than Letter - Other
Markets Scored Declines.

CHICAGO, June ia heavy decline at
Liverpool ard free selling by longs caused
a weakening in wheat prices to-day. July
closed 12d%c lower September 19sQ1%c
down. Corn lost sc. and oats l1c. Pro-
visions show the following Declines In
pork, 121ac; lard, sc; ribs &c.
At the start advanced quotations from
Liverpool and numerous crop damage re-
ports together with the belief that Armour
was likely to prove a stronger card for the
bulls than Letter, started wheat higher.
The bear element was for time consider
ably demoralized and the buying rush was
quite pronounced. September, which closed
yesterday at 721ac, found plenty of buyers
at 73Ac, and some few who even paid more
July sold up to S212c, or 212c above where it
left off last night. However. both Chicago
and Liverpool come soon under the influence
of the immense prospective supplies of new
wheat. Liverpool commenced to topic, ard
the bull contingent here took fright and the
buying came to sudden halt. Then there
vas rush on the part of the early buyers
to unload some to secure profits and some
to get rid of losses, and the decline was
more rapid than the advance had been.
Chicago receipts were only II cars. against
16 year ago. and Minneapolis and Duluth
received 119 against 229 the corresponding
day of last year. The aggregate at West
ern primary markets was $4,000 bu, against
23S,OC0 the similar day year ago. Exports
from the Atlantic seaboard were equal in
wheat and flour to $4,000 bu. July opened
1A@24c higher at size, advanced to SPEC,
dropped to 7Ss4c then rallied to 79Q19Ac,
the closing figure. September started 1d1kc
better. at 73A@7S14c. declined to 7O3sc, then
firmed up to 705s@702c.
There was strong opening In corn on
unfavorable weather conditions Long corn
was for sale in apparently imtless
amounts, however and the early advance
was more than lost July opened ssQ5sc
higher at 342sQ345sc, declined to 331sc, then
rallied to 33ssc, the closing price.
AT the opening oats presented strong
front on unfavorable crop reports. Eased
off with wheat and corn and did not again
display any strength. July opened nc
higher at 2512c sold down to 243sc, then
firmed up to 241zc, the closing price.
There was momentary firmness at the
start in provisions under the influence of
strong opening grain markets. Packers and
pit traders sold freely and prices broke
badly. The market dragged heavily and
closed with only a moderate reaction from
the bottom prices. July pork started INC
down at $97112 sold down to $3.50, then rose
to $9.721a. July lard began 21sc lower at
$5.S21a sold up to S5.S5. declined to $3.50. the
closing figure. July ribs opened 215c lower
at $5.521a and sold off to $3.50.

THE PARK QUESTION.
This Writer Puts I'm Plea For Small
Pleasure Grounds for the People.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal
Please permit a few words on the park
question. 1t seems to me that what we need
and ought to have is not one or two large
parks. with long, handsome driveways and
boulevards where people who can afford
horses and carriages can take the air and
laxuriate but a dozen or more small parks
scattered in every part of the city, where
tired mothers with their children, invalids,
men and women who want to rest in
cool, pleasant place after their work is over
for the day, may resort in the evening,
without going far from home. These peo-
pie who have not large shady grounds, who
cannot go off to lake, or mountain, or sea-
shore for the summer who must work and
bear the heat as best they can, who can
not afford to spend 10. or 20 or 80 cents for
street-car fares for themselves and chill
dren to get to remote park-are the ones
whose needs ought to be first considered in
this matter. Who that sees the scores and
scores of people sitting about University
Park on hot day or evening can doubt
that parks of that size (about four acres)
or of twice that size, with trees and grass
and fountains, in the thcky settled parts of
| the city, would be more benefcent than two
or three large parks in the suburbs? Of such
large parks, accessible by street cars or car
riages, we already have several (some of
tnem private property but always open to
the public, and the whole surrounding
country. with excellent roads, is available
for those who want and can afford to drive.
Before we make a further outlay for the
benefit OF such people, let us consider the
condition and comfort of those who have
no carriages, who cannot afford 10 or Is
per cent. of the days income for street
car fare-in short, those for whom parks
are essential for ordinary comfort-not
those for whom they would be only an adj
ditional luxury. That sites for ten or a
dozen such small parks can be had for what
1t Is proposed TO pay for one or two large
parks is easily demonstrabe. Will not the
city authorities consider this matter?

NOW COMES THE TEST
THE QUESTION NOW Is, CAN TARIFF
RATES BE MAINTAINED.
Presidents TO Have an Important
Meeting-PassengerR Rates Between
Chicago and New York.

The understanding with freight officials,
as we'll as with shippers, is that since Mon
day east-bound rates on all classes of
freights, including grain, both by the all
rail and part rail and water routes, are
carried at the tariff agreed or at the OPEN
1ng of navigation, whens the all-rails lines
had the part water and part rail lines to
compete with Whether they will now be
maintained is left for circumstances to de-
termine When the tariff was agreed TO it
was hoped that all parties were sincere, but
The temptation when the great Letter ship
Inents were made was too strong and the
agreement was broken by one road; others
then took the same steps 1t is difficult to
say who was to blame for the first infringe
1nent. One side was as strong in accusa-
ton and denunciation as the other and the
conclusion was reached that neither had any
right to lay claim to any particular virtue
in the matter. In regard to the latest de-
termination TO get back to first principles
and stay there ii is said that the presidents
efforts to bring this about will do much to
Insure firm adherence to the compact.

America and England.

Beneath the arctic peaks of silent snow,
Through tropic isles enwreathed with orange
blooms;
Where brown G.Draltar like giant looms,
Where furnaces of red Sahara glow
In spicy groves, where softest breeZes blow,
In tangled Afric jungles deepest gooms
BY gray-beard Pharoahs immemorial tombs,
The Saxon legions conquer every foe.
So Alfred spear and Nelson's sword shall be
Guards for the flag that Washington unfurled
With might of Cromwell, Lincoln, Blake and Lee
Our gauntlet at invaders shall be hurled;
Lords of the land and emperors of the sea,
The eagle and the lion face the world.
