All industrial and agricultural products
admitted to the exposition must be placed
within the exposition in the period from
December l. 1899. and February 2S, 1900
and all works Of art admitted must be
placed i'm the palace i'm which they Will
be exhibited between February 10 and
February 90 1900.
The admission TO the exposition Will
be | franc 60 cents. 1t Is estimated that
GO.OOO 600 francs Gl2,O0000O will be received
from the admissions. 1t is now estimated
that the total expense of the exposition
will be 106 7S5 600 francs G2l.3'o,Wr. IL IS
expected that the receipts will be far more
than those Of previous eXpositlons. Inc
several international expOsitions that have
been held in Paris within the last thirty
years have given the following results as
to gate money: Eighteen hundred ana
sixty-seven. lO7650OO francs C215SeVi
1873. l2G7j.OO0 francs G25l5.00O; 1889, H.
$4,000 francs Gi3l6,oOO.
Careful calculations show that the
amount of money spent i'm Paris by visi-
tors during the centennial fetes in 1889
amounted to 100000 francs. The re
ceipts Of the railroads in France in lsSs
increased over all other similar periods
about 7SO00C00 francs, arising I'm the
greater part from foreign visitors. and
the increase of 100000 francs IN the re-
ceipts Of the postal and telegraph depart
mcnts is another illustration Of the fact
that these -exQosltions are profitable to
Paris and TO France.
