FRIDAY, Oct S-SP. ~
The principal topic af conversation Wal. today
has been the rumored sale OF the Collins Baltic
and Atlantic to certain parties, for the use Of the
Nicaragua Transit Company. The facts appear be,
that the parties in question, who represent powerful
tercst in San Francisco have contracted-irs with the
Nicaragua company their passengers from San Juan
del Sur TO San Francisco receiving therefor SIS per cent OF
the passage money and secondly with the legal agent of
the Of the Collins line of steamships for the pur
chase Of the Atlantic and Baltic We believe
that both contracts have been Completed though
that the money for the two ships has yet been paid
| to the vendors, and may not be for some days.
We understand that there Is doubt what
ever that the contract will be carried into effect,
with little delay, and that the Baltic and Pacific will
shortly be advertised to run the Pacific in connection
with the Atlantic boats belonging 10 the Nicaragua
rany, of which Mr.. Yelverton is President general
