A GREAT
Gar and Czarina Enter the City of
Moscow,


The Car and Czarina made a triumphal
entry into the city of Moscow amid the
thunder OF batteries Of artillery, changing
Of countless bells and the cheers of a vast
multitude of loyal Russians and enthu-
siastic visitors from all parts OF the world
Probably never in the history Of the ma
ton has there been such an assemblage
of people. Possibly the gorgeous scene
may never be repeated in its grand en-
iirety. At one time, in anticipation OF the
coming OF the Gar, the entire route from
Petrovski Palace to Kremlin, three miles.
was SO densely packed with people that
movement was impossible. From early
morning the route of the procession was
strongly guarded by troops, police and
detectives. The weather was beautiful,
but the roads were still muddy from the
recent rain.
The ceremonies opened with a salute of
nine guns, followed by the booming of
the big he'll in the Cathedral OF ASsump-
lion. The countless high dignitaries of
the empire and foreign countries began
to gather at Petrovski Palace to take their
places IN the grand pageant. Grand
dukes duchesses, princes, princesses,
Asiatic potentateS. representatives Of
every country under the sun, assembled
there 10 do honor 10 the Gar Of all the
RuSsias. Generals with stats, aid de
camps and orderlies calloplng 1uriously
were seen every where. The clash Of
arms resounded on all sides.
At2:3o the cannon Numbered again
from the direction of PetrovskI Palace-a
signal that the Gar had started Oh his
Journey to kremlin.
The Russian Government is said TO have
spent $50, 000, 900 on the feteS and the city
OF Moscow is understood TO have expended
nearly as much money and more expenses
have TO be met.
The expenses which grand dukes and
grand duchesses. foreign princes and nm
bassadors, etc. have been put TO, is really
enormous, one authority going so far as
10 estimate that there was 500. 000, 900
worth OF jeweiry alone in the procession.
The French Government especially has
been put 10 a very great expense for the
coronation fetes. The cost OF the supper
which their imperial majesties will attend
under The auspices Of the French delega-
ton VIII be over SlO1. 600.

Dun & Co.'S Review.

r. G. Dun e Co.'S Weekly Review Of
Trade says: The waiting condition,
which seems to some people nothing bet
ter than stagnation still continues. But
there is a difference. Thousands Of orders
and contracts are merely deferred because
they can be more safely given a little
later. The stories about damage to wheat
have been numerous. but the general be-
lief regarding the future supply is fairly
reflected in the decline of 1.62 cents per
bushel. The western receipts continue
large. The home market fails entirely 10
respond 10 shor crop stories, for II IS
known that western reports indicate u
crop exceeding last years.
Sales of wool have been :, 64S. 200 pounds
for the week at the three chief markets,
and for three weeks ending May y sales
were 9,1o,, 400 pounds, OF which ass. SOC
were domestic, against l5.9iS,3 $50 IN tie
same weeks of 1892, Of which S.60l 100
were domestic.
