and prices were frequent and vigorous, the
gain at one time being 211 cents per
bushel. The cable news added 10 the
enthusiasm, Liverpool being quoted at an
advance of I'D. Other cable messages
from that place referred to the big busi-
ress done yesterday in California wheat

were taken, five of them for Australia and
one each for Calcutta and the Cape. In
addition to the English advices New York
after the opening wired that both England
and the Continent were liberal buyers OF
wheat futures. Added to these reports
were kilograms stating that the Northwest
markets were stronger than those of Chi.

But at noon New York reported tire.
mendous appreciation in the price of
money, together with statistics from Min
neapolis and Duluth, showing an increase
in rates there. Consequently wheat was
for sale and the price broke two cents off
the earlier figures. A return OF the money
scare seized the crowd, however, and
another reaction took place. When the
bell rang at the close of the days busi-
ness, the net gain In the principal cereal
had been cent over yesterdays figures.
The market was lively enough to suit the
most rabid speculator. The closing price

LONDON, Eng, Oct. 29.-To-day's Con-
tinental wheat markets were as follows:
Antwerp-Wheat opened firm on the
strength of English and American advices,
but the market was lifeless, buyers being
unwilling to meet higher prices. The
market closed dull but steady.
Paris The market opened week and
lower, but became strong on the stimula-
ton of American advices and prices ad-
vanced, but buyers were shy in view of the
recent collapse, and the volume of busi-
ness was small.
Berlin-The market opened higher on
the strength of advices from America.
Wheat opened firm at fully 2 marks i'm
provement, the bears covered freely and
closed firm at ~ to 3 marks above yester-
davis closing. Holders were influenced
by the unfavorable adyices regarding the
cropsin India.
Budapest-There was sensible advance
in wheat at the opening, which had the
effect to restrict business.

ness limited.
The Danubian markets were quiet with
out movement. The rates were upheld.
The Russian markets were unchanged.

The deepest interest is felt among
railway circles in this city regarding the
disposal of the Seaboard Air Line.
Shrewd guesseS have been made by men
whose positions entitle their opinions
TO much credence, but the present status
OF the matter, almost, 1t may be said,
on HI eve of the actual transfer of the
stock. is as problematical as ever.
Doubts as to the actual sale of the
road, which had good foundation
by President Hoffman's declaration that
he Will resign as soon as the transfer of
stock is actually made.
The assertion Of the same gentleman
that the Southern will control the prop
erty. although it may be nominalIy op-
Grated by other parties. is a serious

president, denies this most alphabetically

the l.. d n. deal is looked upon as a
very probable outcome of the fight for
the control of the Seaboard property.
and it is believed there tina the big
southwestern system will secure Il ma
1ority of the stock in the road which is
now such Il bone of contention.
certainly such an acquisition by the
L.. & N. would be of great advantage,

1t is the general opinion that the
Southern Railway, being already u mere
addition of parallel trackagc to it, would
not especially benefit Norfolk. But
should the Louisville & Nashville, with
its vast territory lying for the most
part outside the bounds tapped by the
southern. transfer its tremendou en-
port trade To Norfolk, it would mean
not only the increasing of the volume
or traffic here. but the inauguration of
ueep-water terminal facilities at this
port, with the consequent advantage ac-
crning through the employment OF many
laborers. etc.
Mr.. Hoffman say that in the event
OF the acquisition of the line by the
~Southern's representatives, one Of the
Bay Line teame would he discon-
tinued. He thinks the York River line
would be the one withdrawn.
MI. E. Y. Lamb, general agent of the
