ARTISTIC PARADE STANDS.
Systematic Construction Suggested for
the InaupnratiOn.

Systematic Construction Suggested for
the Inauguration.
The local chapter at the National capl-
tai of the American Institute OF Architects
has suggested reform in the scheme OF
the decoration of the avenue and the erec-
tion of reviewing stands for spectators on
the occasion of professions on the next
inausuration day. 1t has been pointed
out that at previous inaugurations it has
been customary to allow builders and
speculators to erect stands in front of all
the parks and reservations along the line
OF march. These stands, instead OF being
an attractive feature of the street decora-
tions, are merely rough pine structures,
occasionally draped with the cheapest and
himsiest OF flags and bunting which i'll
case of rain. look draggled and shabby.
They are erected in such way and In
such places as 10 hide from view all the
parks and statues which are such feature
OF Washington. This practice not only
gives to visitors false impression OF the
capital city, but results in some cases in
injury to the reservation and to the
statues therein. 1t is now proposed by the
architects 70 abolish the privilege OF erect
ing stands in front of parks and reserva-
tions. In lieu of these they would have
stands erected in the cross streets that in
tersect the line of march. These stands
are TO run either from building line to
building line on the side streets or from
curb to curb, as may seem the most de-
sirab Bile. They would extend to the build
ing line on the street along which the pa
rade passes, but not beyond it, SO as TO
offer no obstruction to the crowds along
the pavements. The stands are to be
raised above the street, so that ordinary
traffic can pass under them without him
drance.

WV vORK. n. Y, Dec 30.-The only re-
deeming feature of speculation at the Stock Ex-
change to-day was squirt in American Tobacco
and Sugar in the late trading. The movements
in these stocks saved the day from being one of
the dullest on record. Fluctuations at the close
of business were merely nominal, covering a
range of only 1sg12 per cent outside Of few
stocks. The declaration of the 2 per cent dividend
on Tobacco preferred and 8 per cent on the com
mon stock started up little speculation in the
latter, although the stock advanced
iZaJions ed to be in order. The real
feature the cay was the execution of buying
orders for considerable amounts in Sugar during
The last honr of business which carried that stock
up fro 11O1S to liz Manhattan, after selling
down 5s to oS1s rose to SO. Conso. idated Gas
rose l. while Dtlaware aud Hudson declined 2

dealings in the prominent railway stocks such as
