Fragment @ a Paris Letter.
BY FRANCES GRIFFIN.

The visit of the Czar of Russia Is the absorbing idea of Paris, these days.
 You would think he is the prodigal son returning, rather than a lofty and irn- perious potentate condescending to smile Tor three whole days, upon a shouting, obsequious multitude.
 The papers say that the visit Is to cost Paris twelve millions of dollars; but she IS getting lots of fun herself, as she al- ways does. let what will happen.
 Ine morning of his arrival, the papers aav.ng nay ri duly noted every foot of his itin- point, near the pretty church that Louis Napoieon had erected, to commemorate the birth of the Prince Imperial, where or the Czar, and we were rewarded in felicitious manner.
 We happened to stand first on the steps of a Bureau des Omnibus" but there, and when the gendarmes began to straighten out the crowd for a passway, thought We would all be driven away, Eut the crowd rebelled and refused to move an inch beyond what they consid- cred right and we were left on the top step to look right down into the carriage the when he passed on his prayers. We'll he may. for he has just escaped all the follies of a London life, with his princely uncle.

She was taller than he., and her pretty, flower-trimmed wore beautiful white silk. with yellow cape, and accepted the vivas of the crowd most gracefully. When the crowd shout erl d vt tbs Ia Rnsa 01sa for the baby bright smile that went over the mothers face showed that that shout had pleased her more than all the others.

The box in which the royal guests were to sit was lined with white silk perfumed with Rus- sian violets. a broad yellow ribbon fes- tooning the edge. Yellow is the Russian color.

The Sugar Crop.

Louisiana Sugar Planter
 Dry weather and cold nights during the past week have been reported from aiI quarters of the sugar country, and there has been a practical cessation of growth. The cane fields are relieving as if for the harvest, and a heavy rainfall and warmer weather would be everywhere welcomed. The southerly winds just now prevailing have elevated the temperature somewhat and made an early rainfall seem probable. The weather conditions have been bad for the cane crop from a quantitative point of view. At 60 Far enheit and below sugar cane lies dor

Douglas Smelling Plants.

In the huge furnace building of the Douglas Reduction Works, where will be situated the furnaces and convert CTS, work is going forward as fast as the arrival of machinery will permit. One furnace Is nearly completed and the bedplates for the other four are in place. The steel trestle for the railway track oyer which supplies will be carried to the feed floor of the fur naces is being rapidly constructed.
 The steel frame work for the boiler house is in place and the stone found- atiodS are being rapidly constructed. All the foundations in the power house are completed and are awaiting the arrival of machinery.
 At the Calumet & Arizona plant a new furnace is being erected, which will double the output of the plant. It is expected to have this new fur. nace in operation not later than the 1St of April. At present the output of copper is about 500 tons per month. This amount will be more than doubled when the new furnace is blown in.
 There are now l90 men on the pay roll at the Calumet & Arizona, and when the new furnace is put in com. mission the force will be increased to Douglas International.

The Financial and Business Outlook.

Finauciers are asking themselves, just now, if trade reaction is likely to be encountered after the facilities of the country have been adjusted to existing conditions. It is too early yet to reckon on the halt in industrial progress which invariably accompa- nieS a presidential year, although there are unsettling features, such as the unrest of labor, the coal strike and others.
 Bankers. however, anticipate no Se- riOus emergency resulting from money conditions while the crops are being moved in the fall, which is a point of the greatest uneasiness. The hope for comparatively easy conditions at that time are to be looked for in quiet stock market or in the absence of any demand upon the banks for stock mar ket purposes.
 Aside from the financial stringency, the financial and business outlook is promising. Trade conditions are good, large sums of money are being dis bursed by railways and industrial cor porations, the spring opens with fine conditions for the crops and there is abundant evidence that our industries and institutions enjoy the confidence of foreign capitalists.
