most confident feeling prevalent in all parts
Of the country, and yet with some features
which suggest especial caution. The vol

more curtailed than is usual near the end
Of the year in wholesale and jGbbing lines,
was nearly II not quite the largest ever
known in holiday goods, and on
the whole. close 10 the maximum. An
Of en- winter makes even the restricted
coal production largely exceed cOnsump-
ton, and the output for lS>9 was but 81
750, 90 tons, against 37.60O.OOO in lSSs, but
bitlminous coal is in deficient supply for
lack 0f transportation. The wooden bust.
ness is still the cloud in the sky, stocks ear.

tent and attractiveness any of its prede-
cessors. Gilmore's Band will furnish
the music. The fish exhibit will b.
larger and more attractive thaa ever be-
fore. The electrical display will alsC
show a splendid improvement over tha
Of all previous seasons. and ITS espeea
features will consist Of electrical novel
ties. The chief and most wonderful o
these VIII be the electric elevated uaf
cycle railroad, which, with car larg,
enough to carry the operator, will b
run at the breatbless speed Of $50 miles
an hour. No passengers will be allowed
TO ride on the line, but the spectacle Of /
train travelling at this lightning rate vii
be of a nature to attract continul
eug Of sight-seers. The State Q
Colorado has voted $4,000 for the ex
hibit OF that State at the st. Louis tx

made By one of the great brewing CON-
