THE END or THE NEW-ORLEANS FAIR.
The idea of holding q successful international
Exposition in New Orleans was Il visionary one
in the beginning Geographical disadvantages,
sparse population, and the necessarily large
cost to those attending it foretOld the failure
that has followed. Had Congress been asked at
first to make an appropriation to maintain the
Exposition it would not have entertained the
proposition. 1t was only requested to invite
foreign nations to participate in the FAR. a
wear later loan was sought, on the ground that
Congress had previously assumed responsibility
by authorizing such official invitations to be
sent to foreign nations. Solemn assurance was
given that the managers had P750,OOO IN their
treasury and 100000 more pledged in sub
scriptionS. With seemingly earnest promises OF
repayment, Congress voted a generous loan.
When the Fair actually opened those state
ments were found to be false. Bad man
agement and hopeless insolvency led to
another appeal to Congress, and further loan
was granted Altogether the Government has
invested in the enterprise Sl,GjO,OOO; and
probably 5000 more has been furnished by
States Territories and other interests. And
still the Exposition is unable to pay expenses,
much less any of its debts. The latest repOr t
of attendance at hand shows the receipts on one
day to have been $3.50, very much less than
the running expenses. This, too, when the Ex-
position is within n few days of its official end,
and when, according to the local press, most OF
the people of New Orleans have not been within
its gates. Under such circumstances, the
effort to prolong its life IL certainly ill-advised.
II cannot be done without maintaining the Ma
tioual exhibits there at considerable expense,
for which another appropriation will in time be
asked. The people of the country have dealt
generously with New Orleans in this matter;
and more should not be asked. An effort to
prolong the Philadelphia Exposition proved a
dismal failure though the prospect and advan-
tascs were mcomparably greater than those IN
New Orleans.
The visitors mt the Crescent City have had to
travel long distances, and the Tux on time and
purse would be borne anew by few persons even
should fresh attractions be offered. 1t will be
impossible to keep there more than mere imc-
ton of the private exhibits, and as during the
time when every possible attraction was draw
ing mt It's full strength the great show did not
pay It's daily expenses what possible hope can
there be for the future. except through further
aid from the National Treasury While the
Exposition has done some good, il has failed
to accomplish what was hoped for it, Expert
cnce and common sense should teach its man.
ayers to let it die a natural dcat aud not at
tempt to prolonE its exstenre.

that little expectation OF settlement Is enter
tanned by that company. Nevertheless, when
the managers are ready, rates can be restored in
short order and the fact that marvellously low
water rates were offered last week does not
prove that the transporters by water would not
be glad to get all they could if rail rates should
be lifted.
In some respects the best news of the week is
the dispatch that the iron workers and manu-
facturers, after an all-day session at Pittsburg
on Saturday, adjourned till to-day with pros
pect of agreement on the 10 per cent reduction.
1t was not supposed that the works could afford
to continue with so little change; if they can,
the orders in sight must be larger and more sat-
sfactory than had been supposed. In other
labor contests there has been little change, but
that little for the better. Prices of iron and
coal are fully as well sustained as they were a
week ago, though sales of steel rails at $2S at
tidewater are reported, and the School Board
has contracted for coal delivered at 81 OF,
which is said to yield about So - free on
board. The markets for other metals and for oil
are steady The cotton market was a shade
stronger than q week ago, but no favorable
change appears in the price of goods, and the
fact is rather tardiy appreciated that the late
large auction sale did not take the goods out of
the market or into consumption, but only
changed the names of the holders.
In grain and provisions there was not much
excitement last week. and little change in
prices, though hams and lard were a shade
lower. After all fluctuations wheat closed
about half a cent lower than a week ago, oats
about one cent lower, and corn a shade lower
for May, and butter and cheese were also lower
But sugar and coffee shO wed strength and adj
vanced The air is fairly filled with reports
and arguments to favor a rise in grain, but the
man who wishes to Duy the vast surplus remain
ing from last year has not yet come forward
In the wheat pit he would certainly be well
coined heartily.
