CHICAGO, July 5.-Chioago is BEGINNING
to realize in q practical way the investment
In the worlds fair. 1t is thought that in
the period OF the next 120 days Of the ex-
position q sum ranging from 120.OOO.O0O
to $3.50, 5000 will be brought to Chica-
go and left here. The estimate Is based
On the assumption that between July and
Nov. 1-l23 days-the average number Of
visitors in Chicago above normal will be
100000 to 1885, ZOO. aud that they will spend
not less than e10 day each while sojourn-
ing here. On that basis the amount spent
daily VIII be over Sl.O00.0 .000. and the total
amount from the opening to the closing of
the fair not less shan 500. 0Co. 600. The city
is already experiencing the relief
that follows the receipt OF liberal
sums of money from all quarters.

tablishment of q one-fare rate for the round
trip to Chicago during the worlds fair.
The proposition to establish such rates will
be made to tho meeting and il that or its

will threaten to withdraw from the assooi-
alton. Matters may reach this stage, but
Will not be likely TO 90 any further. None
of she Western roads are doing any great
amount of business. and several OF them
which have spent large amounts for extra
equipment are beginning to worry over the
failure of the people to crowd the trains.
The result is almost sure to be reduction
of rates. -
