A DECIDED SUCCESS.
Notwithstanding the Many Reports to
the Contrary the Worlds Fair
Declared an Unparal.
leled Success.
Description Of the Vast and Beautiful
Grounds Upon Which the Exposition
Is Held, Together With
Other Data.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 22.-Commissioner
Burke in an address to-day said there was
no, longer any fear of the exposition proving
failure as some of the exhibitors had ap-
pretended. Col. Mcclure, of Philadelphia,
also made an address, and expressed the
same views. He said he had made a careful
investigation into the affairs of the exposi-
ton, and had come to the conclusion
as above, and that it would
prove an unparalleled success.
The association met and adopted
circular, which was printed and several
thousand copies sent out through the coun-
try. After showing all reports contrary to
the above declaration to be false, and show
ing the growth of the exposition, the circular
gives the following description of the
grounds:
There is park of $50 acres, clothed with
verdure and adorned with semi-tropical
plants and orange trees. The double row
of grand old oaks is the admiration of every
visitor. Fifty acres Of roof cover the vari-
GUS structures. Interspersed through this
area is double row Of stable buildings 2,400
feet long, which contain the most
extensive herds of live stock gathered
together on this continent. From the gal
leries of the main and public buildings the
eye wanders over millions of dollars worth of
exhibits, such as have rarely been equaled at
any worlds exposition. The grounds are
reached by means of five lines of street cars
as well as by steamers which land their pas
sengcrs at all hours at the river front of the
exposition grounds. In addition to the nu-
merGus hotels Of the city, others have been
erected near the grounds, and by addressing
Mr.. B. l.. Walsh, at the bureau OF accommo-
datiou, 1874 Gravier street, rooms in
the private houses can be provided for
those who may desire a more quiet home
during their stay. Nearly all the exhibits
are in position, and the opportunity of life
| time is now offered the scientist and citizen,
and all interested in the material progress of
the age, and we most heartily and cordially
invite you TO visit this colossal exposition and
inspect for yourself its beauty and magnfi-
cence, as seen in its mauy works of art, its
agricultural, mechanical, mineral and hor-
lcultural display. and its government, state
aud foreign exhibits.

THE WEATHER.
The Coolest Day on Record at Mt.
WashingtOn--The Temperature
Other Places.
THE COOLEST DAY ON RECORD.

Mt. WASHINGTON, n. H., Jan. 22.-The
grees below zero, one degree colder than the
lowest temperature ever experienced before,
which was forty-nine in March, 1872. Prob
ably no rougher weather was ever exper-
fenced than at the present moment. A
northwest hurricane has been blowing 100
miles an hour for the past twelve hours.
Sleep was impossible during the night. The
chimney of the signal station has been blown
of, flling the house with gas and smoke. Two
men are on the summit, P. J. Cahill and AL
phonso Laundry.
ROUGH DAY IN NEW YORK HARBoR,
New YORK, Jan. 22.-The harbor Is very
rough to-day, and few sailing vessels have
passed the narrows. All incoming craft are
coated with ice over their decks and several
vessel came in with her sails sheet of ice.
Pilot boats are coming In covered with ice,
and crews benumbed.
COLD DAY IN CHICAGO.
CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-Early this morning the
mercury fell 10 seventeen below in this city,
according to the report of the signal service.
In the extreme northwest, however, the cold
has moderated somewhat, Fargo and James
town quoting five below. The mercury
had risen five degrees here at noon.
The temperature in the city
gradually became warmer during tbs
evening and shortly before midnight the
thermometer marked eight degrees above. The
continued cold, however, Inflicted much
hardship upon the poorer class in the city.
The effects in the surrounding country are
even more marked. Specials o-night from
parts III Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin speak
of damage to stock which in some sections
were quite serious. The fruit in many places
is thought 10 be killed and has suffered
severely throughout the territory named.
Winter wheat, owing to heavy covering Of
snow, is believed safe. Numerous instances
of persons badly frozen have been developed.
Near Decatur, Ill, this morning. when the
mercury was twenty-four degrees below,
William Hallett, one of a sleighing party on
his way home from rural ball, was frozen
to death.

New YORK, Jan. 22.-There was rather
more activity in the stock market to-day
than yesterday, although the situation still
continues dull. The opening was weak an
around. New York Central fell off q,
Northwestern g, st. Paul q and Lake Shore
g. This weakness was followed later by a
slight advance, which was maintained to the
close. Contrary to expectation, Western
Union was the strongest in the list and was
well supported by the grangcrs, which came
prominently to the fore about midday. 1t is
a matter of surprise to many that stocks
should hold their own so firmly in the face
Of the present railroad war, but the explana-
ton is to be found in Jay Gould. just at
present he IS helped along somewhat by the
large short interest out. Tue present pro-
gramme, as far as it can be ascertained
from external indications, is TO force shorts
into cover, put up prices with a whoop, sell
out near the top, and gracefully retire with
the profits. 1t remains to be seen whether
the scheme can be worked. President
Mitchell, of the st. Paul, has gone west. The
next dividend on that stock has not vet been
agreed upon, but it is already conceded that
it will not be 81 Der cent. semi-annually as
heretofore, and it may be passed altogether.
In Philadelphia the agents of the Pennsyl-
vania road are Offering to take westbouud
freight &c per 100 pounds less than other
lines. The policy of Lick4wanna now is to
fight for its share of the freight aud coal
business, and make special rates with ship
pers. The New YORK Central will probably
meet the cut on emigrant rates made by the
Pennsylvania aud West Shore, as 1t Is the
policy Of the Central TO follow the
West Shore in any rate 1t might make. The
officials of the latter road are now in consul
tation as 10 what action they shoali take to
meet reductions made by other competing
lines aud altOys ether the sta ,tion 10 one Of
great complication and vexalion to general
managers and serious loss ID stock ho!d.rs.
Toe emigraut sale from Il am burg to Chi
cage has been cut to So, which is 50 cheaper
than yesterdays figures. There are many
believers in better stale Of things later on,
though the outlook for rather uniDterest-
ing market for the next thirty days is rather
encouraging just now. Toe nnal dealings
developed no new feature. Tue market
dragged its slow length along and closed
rather firm, with final quotations. showing a
slight change for the better.

CHICAGO, jan. 22.-There was only nom
inal and routine activity at the banks to-day
and as long as this extremely cold weather
hangs on nothing better can be looked for.
People do business at this temperature simply
because they are compelled. not because they
want to. There is, however, no perceptiole
weakening at any point, but pure and una
dulterated dullness is the predominant char
acteristic of the situation. New York exchange
was quoted at par, with light outside de-
mand. Orders for currency shipments were
few and small and the receipts the same.
