.— e THE Chill coitus A Grand Military Spectacle and Re- view at the Famous Camp. THE PLANS or THE EMPEROR Spectators to the Number of 200,000 Saw ' 70,000 Troops Under Arms—Some of the Distinguished Men Pres- ent—To Go to Germany. , CnAnons—sun-MAnrm, Oct. 10.— Long - before the imperial and presidential trains arrived here from Versailles today the vi- cinity of the immense camp, covering 30,- 000 acres, near this place, was crowded by persons anxious to see the czar and czarina and witness the grand military review or- ganized in the czar’s honor. By 9 o’clock nearly 200,000 persons had assembled, and more Were pouring in from the direction of Bhelms, Chalons-sur-Marne, etc, as fast as the trains could bring them and with all the cars crowded to the .fo‘ot boards. The camp never looked better'sincc its establishment by Napoleon III in 1856. The tents, Wooden huts and other build- ings had been brightened up. Seventy thousand troops of all branches of the service Were held under arms here for the czar’s inspection. The different division: of the camp had been swept and cleaned and the parade ground made as smooth as possible for the maneuvers of the troops. The czar arrived at the military head- , quarters of the camp at 10:15 a. m., Was re- ceived with great ceremony and was sa- luted with 101 guns, after which he re- viewed the 70,000 troops and nearly 20; 000 horses attached to the divisions in camp, including all branches of the serv- ice.- ‘ Previous to leaving Versailles, it was announced today, the czar expressed his thanks to President Faure for the recep- tion accorded him at Paris and at Ver- sailles, saying that he was much pleased to notice that, in spite of the enormous crowds along the route, there had not been any disturbances. This, the czar said, did the greatest honor to the people of Paris, whose acclamations had touched . him greatly. He also begged President Faure to convey his congratulations to the prefect of police, after which the most cordial leave taking took place on both sides, and the train left Versailles for this ‘camp at 11:15 p. m. amid enthusiastic ac- ciamations. The presidential train fol- lowed the imperial train 15 minutes later. A Successful Review. The review was a decided success, and some of the finest troops in the French army participated in it. Among the most important military officers present were General Billet, the minister of war; Gen- eral Gonse, subchief of the general staff of the army; General de Toroy, chief of the cabinet of the minister of war; General Saussier, vice presi ent of the supreme council of war and commander in chief; General Mathias, a subchief of the general staff of the army, and General d’Aubigny, commanding the Second Army corps, which included the Thirtieth battalion of Alpine rifles, a regiment of zouaves, a regiment of Algerian sharpshooters and a company of the Fourth regiment of Alge- rian sharpshooters, this force cOmposing what is known as amixed brigade. The Third division of infantry, com- manded by General de Brye, consisted of one company of engineers, the Eighth and Sixteenth battalions of rifles, the Fifth infantry brigade and Sixth infantry bri- gade and the division artillery. Then came the troops of the Sixth military legion, commanded by General Herve, a member of the supreme council of war, having General de Germiny as his chief Of staff. These troops included the Sixth Army corps, led by General of Division Kessler, and consisting of the First, Third, Fifth, Ninth, Tenth, Fifteenth a‘nd Eight- eenth battaliOnrof rifles. Thacam'e the Eleventh division of infantry, commanded by General de Monard, including a com- pany of engineers, the Twenty—first and Twenty-second infantry brigades and the division artillery.

Nine- teenth, Twentieth and Twenty-fifth and Twenty-sixth battalions. The Thirty- ninth division of infantry was commanded by General Parison and consisted of a company of engineers the Seventy-seventh and Seventy-eighth brigades of infantry and the division artillery. General of Brigade Godefroy commanded the Fortieth division of infantry, consisting of a com- pany of engineers, the Seventy-ninth and Eightieth brigades of infantry and the Di- . vision artillery.

Been Recently Removed. . PLENTY OF MONEY INSIGHT India a. ‘Euyer of Our‘\Vlieat, ‘of ‘Vhich We Have. a Bountiful Supply—Rail- road Earnings Decrease but Lit- tie—The \Veek's Failures. 4‘ NEW YORK,_ Oct. 10.-R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade says :. The extendedanalysis of classified fail- ures in September, in the third quarter, 'and in nine months of 1896, in compari— son with previous years, shows what branches of business have been most aflected by the conditions‘which‘have pre— vailed. It will be a valuable contribution to the education of the people which is progressing so rapidly if it helps men to realize more fully, the effects of a curtail- ment of confidence and of commercial credits upon industries and trades which provide the livelihood for millions. Dis- tinctly better conditions have appeared of late and are reflected in somewhat larger employment of labor, in larger transac- tions and in continued buying of materi- als for manufacture. While a complete change is not yet possible, a. large share .of the apprehension which worked mis- chief has been removed by political events and by arrivals of gold from Europe, now amounting-to $48,337,000, in payment of balances arising from increased exports frcm New York, last week 30 per cent, and for five weeks 9 per cent greater than last year, and decreasing imports, last week 26 per cent and for live weeks 25 per cent smaller than last year. The treas- ury is placed in a comparatively strong position, and the funds required from the east for crop moving and for ‘ repairment of harm done by speculations in Chicago and New Orleans have been provided with- out disastrous curtailment of commercial loans. A‘great part of the change is due to those resistless laws of supply and demand which take wheat where it is wanted and . gold where it is wanted. India is waiting for cargoes of wheat on the way from Pa- cific states, just as Australia and South Africa Were not long ago. The surplus usually available from India disappears, and the surplus from Russia .and Euro- pean countries is reduced, according to late estimates, 75,000,000 bushels. Happily this country has a supply which official accounts have not correctly measured, if actual movements do not greatly mislead. Railroad Earnings. I ' It is another good sign that railroad earnings, amounting to $35,749,245 in the United States for September, show a smaller decrease than in August, 1.3 per cent, against 5.7 compared with last year, and 10.1 against 15.1 compared with 1892. The last week shows more favorably than any other. West bound tonnage is increas- ing, and east bound tonnage from Chicago has been in four weeks 251.106 against 263, 829 last year. Payments through clear- ing Louses look better, though somewhat deCt‘leive, because the week which in- cludes the first three days of the month is always much ‘the largest. Exchanges still fail .6 per cent below those of 1892, but less than in September. , Iron furnaces in blast Oct. 1 'had a ca- pacity'of 112,782 tons weekly against 129,- 500 Sept. 1 and 217,306 Nov. 1 last year, while unsold stocks decreased 35,852 tons, but if those of steelmaking concerns were included would probably show an 'in- crease. Buying of materials continues, but bessemer is a shade weaker, $11.40 at Plttsburg. The demand for products is so light and so much business is held back ' pending the election that decreasing out- put is not an unhealthy sign. There is quite a good demand for sheets, especially at the west, and rather better for pipes, and outside concerns are getting large contracts in steel and iron bars and in nails, but prices have not been reduced. Minor metals change little, with slightly better demand for copper, lead quiet and tin weaker because visible supply, 35, 400 ' tons, is 8,000 greater than a year ago. Some competing American manufacturers are making large sales of 100 pound tin plates at $3.20. The Leather Industries. The upward rush of hides has advanced prices at Chicago 6 per cent for the Week to the highest average since last Novem- ber. The pretended scarcity is met by rec- ords of cattle receipts, for the year at Chi- cago not 1 per cent less than last'year and for September at western points about 7 per cent loss, while tanners claim that leather production about Boston has been reduced 40 per cent. Prices of leather have risen 2% ‘per cent with-small dealings. Last year’s intoxication in these products should have cost enough to prevent its repetition. ' Textile manufactures are gaining a lit- tle, and the buying of wool by large mills covers 7,662,800 pounds for the week against 11,249,200 last ear. Prices ad- vanced about 1 per cent n September and have since advanced even more, though few of the mills have orders for a long time. Buying of cotton has been checked by heavy receipts from plantations, 1,222,- 287 bales having come into sight in Sep tember against 542, 394 last year. More gold has been ordered from Eu,- rope, so that $1,060,000 is now on the way. Speculation in stocks has yielded a little, about $1. 13 for railroads and 55 cents for trusts. The outward movement of money to the interior has been $4,000,- 000 for the week, and little is doing in commercial loans, with rates about one- half per cent higher than a week ago. Failures for the week Were 296 in the- United States against 268 last year and 46 in Canada against 52 last year.
