er sales made in London at the advance.
The consequences were q jump at the
opening to London parity for nearly all

er and sharp frosts have been the charac-
teristics of the climatic conditions since
Saturday, they had but little effect in stay
ing the hand of the shot seller. July
wheat, which closed Saturday at 6Sssc,
opened today at 67ss@67s4c. and after a
temporary recovery to 6S1sd61Ac it started
on decline which by II o'clock had carried
the price to 661kc. The little squirt follow
ing upon the opening decline was all the
effect the reports of frost had on the mar
ket, it being said that little or no damage
would result from it. Liverpool was 1lad
lower at opening than 1t closed Saturday.
Foreigners were said to have been sellers

Yesterday was observed as n nohuay q.
the banks and among the leading business
houses, with the result that today busi-
ness has been livclier than usual. Indeed,
the crowds at the bank counters were
sensational In size enough SO 10 nave pro-
yoked inquiry had 1t not been observed
that the receiving tellers were really buster
than the paying tellers. and that conse-
ouently the only Significance In the pres
ence of the crowds was the fact that peo.
ple had more money than they could con-
veniently use.
The enormous amount of investment in
railroad properties in this country is strik-
ingly suggested by the statement borne
out by facts, that the difference of one mill
per ton per mile on freight carried by all
railroads In the United States makes
difference in revenues of $50. 900. 900. 1t is
not to be wondered at that the holders of
stocks and bonds are insisting upon care

BUENOS AYRES, Nov. 30.-The result
o. the last rioting in Montevideo, Uru-
quay, in which two persons were killed
and several injured, says the Herald s
correspondent, has been an order placing
the city under martial law again. Armed
patrols surround the city, and troops are
resting on their arms, though now COM
parative quiet reigns.
Assurances are given that as a result of
the big meeting in favor of the candidacy
of Senior Cuestas, President ad interim,
in which 40, 900 persons participated. Con-
gress has decided to pass a vote of conf
dence in Senior Cuesta.. This diminishes
the probability of dissolution of that
body.
A provisional contract providing for the
reorganization of the Province of Buenos
Ayres Bank in this city has been signed.
1t IS believed that a London syndicate is
behind the reorgan zation plan.
