THE JUBILEE PARADE.

Sight Witnessed by the Largest Crowd in
ChjcagOs History.
CHICAGO, Oct. 2O.-The great jubilee
parade is thing Of the past. Chicago
has seen many more imposing sights,
but she never has seen one that pleased
its people better, nor has there ever been
parade in this city which has been
witnessed by SO many people. The
crowds in. the street were larger than
those which witnessed the great parade
at the time of the dedication of the
worlds fair buildings, six years ago.
There were more and larger stands
erected for sightseers and all were filed
to the utmost, and the number OF people
that filled the streets was such as has
never been seen in this city before.
Notwithstanding the most elaborate ar
engagements of the police department,
the banishing of every street car and
vehicle Of every description from the
downtown streets in order that the
crowd might have an unobstructed way,
there were times when the crowd was
too great for the police too handle, and
at times the crush was dangerous. No
lives were lost, but there never was a
more narrow escape from long list of
| fatalities.
| President Enth usjastically Greeted.
The greetings extended to President
Mckinley were enthusiastic to the ex-
IRENE. as were the plaudits showered
upon General Miles and General Shat
ter as they passed through the streets.
The presidents carriage was surrounded
by t., tachments of the Grand Army and
! of Confederate veterans, acting as an
tscort. He led the parade from the
starting point at Congress street and
Michigan avenue to the Union League
clubhouse; where, in company with all
other distinguished guests, he alighted
end reviewed the parade. Throughout
fAe entire march past the stand. which
listed trifle over three hours, the pres
ident remained standing.
The advance Of the, parade was given
to the veterans of the Grand Army, who
were present in large numbers. Behind
the veterans came numerous civil socie.
ties, rank after rank, until it seemed as
though they would never end. After
these came the Fourth regular infantry
from Fort Sheridan and then the naval
reserve. The First Illinois, which gave
more lives during the war than any Illi-
nois body Of enlisted men, set the people
frantic. The Seventh infantry closed
the pa.ads.

DrY Goods

New York, March 26.-The weeks trading in dry goods has been light. It is generally conceded that the talk of war possibilities has been the chief factor in the quieting of trade. Woohen goods suffer most severely. The demand for dress goods is also with out feature and very irregular. Cotton goods in all grades are quiet. i
 Print cloths sell very slowly. Prints in all grades have sold very slowly during the week.

 New York; March 26.-The Cuban ques-s ton has gradually approached5a a crisis this week, and the greatest anxiety has prevail-t ed in the financial and commercial circles. In the cotton market this anxiety has been manifested by disposition lto even up on the market, land wait developments. The tendency of prices has been downward, as was to be expected under the circum- stances. But the loss in values has not been great, Liverpool changed front this morning and the cables from that market were not encouraging. Prices there were one-half to one sixty-fourth lower, and the spot sales were small. Our market opened two to three points down. In the early trading some weakness developed but the shorts were nervous and bought freely. Their purchases checked the de- cline, and later caused a sharp rally. Au- gust opened at 5.S9, declined to 5.S6, rallied to 5.93, and closed at 5.92 to 5.93, with the tone of the market steady. The trouble with Spain has been long drawn out and it has given timid operators ample time to liquidate their holdings, and 1t is probable, therefore, that an actual outbreak of hos tilities would not exert so violent an effect upon the market as might seem natural. Generally the situation continues bearish. In spite of a smaller movement the south ern markets show disposition to weaken the trade here is not friendly to the mar ket the war talk restricts speculation finely and most reports indicate very little decrease in acreage and the use of fer tilizers. Against this array of factors, the low price of the staple and continued fairly good demand for spots, together with possible disaster to the new crop are the bull cards, who are inclined to think that the market will go lower at least tenn porarily.

 New York March 26.-The authoritative statement that the Maine board of in ouiry's report would be fully as grave as predicted brought out a full attendance in the stock exchange today There were ami mated groups about all the active stocks when the market opened. The feverishness oI the foreign markets and the fairy tale that Spain had declared war which was circulated about the exchange gave mo- mentum to the down hill movement. Fairly large margins were swept away and large concessions on values ensued on every con siderable offering. Sugar, Manhattan ana Metropolitan Street Rai.Xay were ham, mered and sumped about points. Grad ually the market hardened on support given the grangers and scaled buying or the specialties. A quarter of an hour after the opening the manifest intention of the large interests to sustain the list led traders to cover enormous short lines ana prices bounded upward, the shorts fran ticaLy bidding against each other. 1t seemed like they who had vast interests at stake had come to an agreement over night to bid. On the exchange here Lon don was a large seller After an hours trading prices were well above yesterdays close, business increased on the advance and shares were buoyant to the close, which was generally at the best prices. The net improvements approximated points in the grangers and exceeded per cent in the leading international favorites. The specialties gained from 1h to points, with the maximum improvement in Third avenue The trading was on an enormous scale for Saturday the dealings for the short session exceeding recent full days totals
