I was running an old hide wheeler, tho Illinois, from Cleveland to Manpiette and point beyond, and on ono trip I had a passenger that would bet on anything, nnd if nothing happened to turn up that lie could gamble on he invented something.

Ciiicaoo, March 10. Chicago will Imvo plenty of provender wherewith to satisfy the appetites of bur regular population nml guests alike during tho World's fair. There need bo no apprehension on this score. Very likely tho story told in holy writ will bo ripeated, and when tho last Of our visitors liavo left us there may bo mnny basket fnlH to carry away. Some timid folk and they have managed to communicate their apprehensions to tho outside world have an idea to tho con trary. Just because tho western Hoods of last spring played havoo with tho vegetable crop, just as tho snow blockades on tho railroads during the last couplo of month induced a temporary scarcity of other classes of supplies, nnd becauso, further, iih a natural result of theso con dition, there wns an advnnco in tho 1 jiriceH of many article of sustenance nnd in some case n scarcity in BUpply, they rushed at once to tho conclusion that tho prevailing conditions were sim ply n forerunner of what might bo ex pected u few months hence. And ho they aro stocking up their cellars with barrels of Hour, and big piles of cans of corned beef, and of canned soups, and canned vegetable, and loudly boasting to their neighbor that, so far at least as their HtomacliH aro concerned, they have to fortified themselves that they aro cer tain to be on the safo side from May to November. All this is sheer hysterics, sheer non sense, tho kind of panicky feeling that no good citizen should i.llow himself or herself to publicly manifest. Wo are C-edlng n million and a half of moutha dally today. Wo may bo called upon to feed another million in addition beforo many mouths. And wo can do it. At least so say tho men who aro tho go between for tho producers nnd the retailer, tho commission element that gather in tho produce and distributes it nround tho hotel, and tl.j stores, and tho private houses tho vehicles of com munication, iih it were, between the fer tile plain of the cast and the west and tho people that have to bo fed. These people may bo supposed to know where of they speak. And when they declare, as a hundred strong thoy have declared to tho writer today, that for tho rest of tho year Chicago will Imvo plenty to eat nnd plenty to spare thoy may bo mip posed to speak by tho book. Nobody, it is certain, has a better right to do ho. There will certainly bo no scarcity of tho stafT of life, neither of flesh meats. Tho great northwestern country that is tributary to tho World's fair city, and which unnually transfers across its bor ders for foreign consumption hundreds of thousands of barrels of Hour, and tho great southwest, that daily sends to our great stockyards thousands of head of cattle to bo killed and dressed, and tho carcasses thereof to bo transported east ward and theuco across tho water to strengthen tho bono nnd sinew and mus cle of our transatlantic brethren, can certainly bo depended upon to keep tho Chicago market well stocked. Perhaps it may bo necessary to limit tho foroigu supply if tho local demand should go be yond all expectation, but nt any rato tho suppl.v will bo hero, and it will not got boyond Chicago so long as wo want it and aro willing to go n fraction higher than tho figure that may bo obtainable elsewhere. Nor need wo restrict ourselves or our visitors to bread and meat. I was talk ing this morning with ono of tho biggest produce commission merchants iu the country, nnd who has just returned from a trip that extended to Denver on tho tho west, New Orleans on tho south and Boston on the cast. Uetwecn his do parturo from nnd return to Chicago ho had made contracts for tho delivery of 500,000 pounds of frozen turkeys, chick ens nnd ducks, 15,000 dozen of spring chickens and 2,000 tons of gnmo of vari ous descriptions. Not only this, but ho hud arranged for tho delivery of as large a total of frozen fish as he has handled in Chicago iu tho last fivo years. Uo is only ono of many in tho same business, nnd they all agree in tho opinion that Bupplios will bo plentiful, and that, us a rule, ordinary prices will prevail, al though there may bo bouio slight ad vances for fancy stock. There is a Philndclpliiu firm that is holding today in storehouses in this state and Iowa no less than 2,000,000 pounds of frozen poultry, which will bo unloaded on Chicago after May I. Tho prospects for good fishing in Illi nois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota nnd other states is better than for many years, and an abundance of trout, pick erel, bass, whito fish, piko and porch may bo said to bo already assured. It is the same way with green goods. Reports from sections upon which Chi cago depends for its early supplies- Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennes eeo aro all of tho most favorable char acter. It is true that potatoes and cab bage wero at a premium a couplo of months since, but tho nlonittido of southern shipments lias restored prices to a normal basis, and from now on the commission merchants will huvo all tho business they can handle. Present indi cations, moreover, aro favorable to an abundance of fruit, and Chicago will got its share, even if some other por tions of tho country aro compelled to go with half jiortions. As a millionaire shipper remarked, and there is logic iu what ho said: "All tho country knows that wo will require plen ty of sustenance iu a solid way between May and November, llenco everything will flow this way, especially if we are prepared to pay a fraction more than limy bo obtainable elsewhere As for tho canned goods that aro stored away in tho warehouses of the various grocery firms nnd of tho dry good houses that indulge iu u grocery annex to their rogulnrbusiiies.s.tho figures that are given seem well nigh incredible. No such a stock has ever been laid up in CI icngo beforo. To revert, therefore, to the it itml propositi m, it is certain that Chi cago will lime plenty to eat this sum mer.
