The Disastrous Season OF Grand Opera In City

CHICAGO, Illinois, March 70.--The
most disastrous season of grand opera
ever given in this city, or, for that
matter, in any part Of the country, will
close with a matinee this afternoon,
and tomorrow Messrs. Abbey, Schoef-
fel and Grau will take their aggregs-
tion to st. Louis, and thence to LOUIS
Vile and Cinclpnati. The failure Of
the season is directly attributable to the
high prices, the paucity of stars and
the bad feeling epgendered by ticket
speculation during previous engage.
ments, which boosted up prices 20 to
40 per cent. above the high rates de-
manded by the opera managers them
selves.
There is intense local indignation
over the statements made by Mr..
Schoeffel in the east, to the effect that
Chicago is bankrupt and broke, and
that the bulk of her citizens scarcely
know the color of dollar, and the
proba bilities are that the aggregation
will not again take chances with Chi
cago for some years to come.

Nothing more surely indicates great industrial awaken ing than this. The rates of interest are falling to moderate figures. Nothing more surely indicates confidence and competition among the money lenders than this.
