one room and thus divide the expense.
At the Great Northern the rate is $40
per day for single rooms and $50 for
double rooms, this being without board
Potter Palmer, who has the largest hotel
in the city, is willing enough to rent his
rooms, but prefers not TO supply meals
except TO delegates and other favored
persons, his rooms being from $40 to
$50 per day. There is cafe in the
house, but no guest should presume to
enter ii unless he has at least silver
dollar in his pocket As many rural
gentlemen come here who have been
accustomed TO paying 25 cents at the
outside for meal, these cafe prices are
rather paraly2ing.
The ltiehelieu and Victoria do not
care for Convention trade" as it is
called, but continue to drift along under
rates ranging from $40 to $l5 per day.

Sherman and Grand Pacific have Con-
vcntion rates also, and the guest is ex-
pected 20 pay on an average from Sc 10

ALL IN THE RACE FOR WEALTH.
There are numerous smaller houses
which have taken advantage of the har-
vest and advanced prices, and, as may
be supposed these are crowded to sui
location. Probably about So per day Is
the average in these, but as rule the
man who comes to Chicago at the pres
cnt time can rely spending at least
| Tl5 per day, provided he cares to in
dulge in outside Injuries of any sort,
such as mixed drinks and other seduc.
tive concomitants Chicago is not doin,
business just now for its health, but
with keen eye to its general bank
account.
