Chicago Grain and Provisions.

CHICAGO. April 4.-General selling of wheat to-day. All cereals closed weak. July wheat being down l%@l1sy. Corn on I@I'sc,
 Predictions of favorable weather caused bearish sentiment in the wheat pit opening. July was hdkc to N9%e lower at 0Th to 87A For time the market held around the opening figures but lack of any strong sup; downward. The fact that foreign grain mar kets were closed to-day tended to restrict the volume of trading. as did approaching holiday here tomorrow. The absence of the usual fuence. Weakness in all cash grains after the recent strength took any remaining en- thusiasm out Of the bulls nnd caused consid
 erable liquidation. The declines in Northwest couraged callers. Pit traders hammered the market persistentiy throughout the day. not wlthsanding moderately bulIish crop represen- tatives from Missouri and Ohio. Final quota tions on July were S6&. after 1t had touched S6K. May ranged between e4h and sSh; bushels The amount on passage decreased

Smaller Farms in Iowa.

Chicago Record-Heraid
 One of the most significant movements ir the Middle West, and especially in Southern Iowa, is the decrease in the number of acres in the farms that are worked In the early days. when land was cheap, the farmer could afford to att tempt to farm all ne could see. and if hs did not succeed 1t did not make much difference, but since this land has risen ia value from sio to s1o0 per acre 1t has been found necessary to decrease the sizc of the farri. The farmer himself is better of for this, because he is not working so hard to make both ends meet. Ecr trying to cover so much ground. He Is making. in fact. about as much on ID acres rightly conducted as he did on section of land in the old days The average size of the Iowa farms Is some- thing less than ninety acres, and, as a general rule, the men arc doing the work themselves, or at least with the help Of one man. The great growth of the dairy interests in the State has helped to work this change.

THE ZANE OF WASHINGT TON

The celebrations held throughout the
country on Monday, says the Baltimore Sun,
prove that Americans still revere the name
Of Washington, the great Virginian, the
great American, the model OF a patriot for
ell time. Ancient Alexandra, the city most
closely intertwined with bis life, put on her
chaplet OF fame anew and wore IL worthily.
In other cities which have overshadowed
her since those glorious days when our na.
ton was bursting into bloom, celebrations Of
equal Ardor were held.
As our modern historical investigate
delve deeper into the original sources oil
biography they find, as they do not hest
tate TO tell US 10 food Of books, more and
more that was intensely human in Wash
ington's character. But as they uncover
the iralllies common TO men since Adam
they nnd stronger proof that Washington
at the critical points In his career was able
to master them all. His life was one Of
temptation, they tell US, for he blazed with
In like q furnace, but with the clear and
broad gaze OF the truly august he saw his
duty and conquered self that be might Der
form it. In bis immovably rooted and IN
selfish sense OF duty We see the model OF
the American citizen. And as our school
children look up to him they draw inspira
lions which will shape, We trust, the destiny
oil our country in the days ol trial that are

TOY BATTLESHIPS.

1t will be recalled that the battle of the
Monitor and Merrimac in Hampton Roads
of Norfolk, Va, and the sinking Of several
Federal lrigates by the Confederate ram rem
dered practically useless all the nsvies o.
the world. Seldom has there occurred 10
the history of nations q single incident OF
event that was OF such far reaching import
ance. II demonstrated that cheaply con
structed battering ram like the Merrimac
covered with railway iron. was capable oil
withstAnding the shot OF the heaviest naval
guns unharmed while ramming TO destruc.
ton the strongest Of battleships built. All
Of the Davies OF the world at once under
went change and the warships were built
iron.clad.
Now comes the little torpedo boat, cost
ing about one hundred thousand dollars,
that will steal up under the very muzzles oil
the mighty guns of heavy armor plated
battleship and set of az explosion under lie
hull that will wreck 1t from stem 70 stern
and make the blow felt for hundreds Of
miles on sea and land.
Has not japan with her little torpedo
boats demonstrated 10 the world that the
building Of great battleships, covered with
costly armor plate and manned with guns
that will throw effective shot fifteen miles
is about like the construction of 30 many
TOYS for uae in naval wariara1
The signal naval victory won by Japan
at Port Arthur was triumph of the torpedo
craft, and has demonstrated to the men who
direct the naval operations and warfare OF
the world that the seven million battleshiI
Is back number and must take a plac,
with the common transports of supplies. II
is idle for the United States or any othel
nation to build any more costly armor plate
war ships.
