Gates used an offer of $3.50 from the Sea-
board for the Louisville and Nashville
to force Morgan to pay $3.50, and that
the Belmonts may throw their support
to the Seaboard if they are not satisfied
in the final disposition of the Louisville
and Nashville 1t adds;
THE Seaboard can command more
money now than ever before, and some
important developments may be looked
for at an early date. In connection with
the Birmingham situation the desire of
the St Louis and San Francisco to get
an eastern outlet from that city works
in with the Seaboard plans. There is Il
possibility of an alliance between the
two to fill in the gap between Birnlins
ham and Montgomery Such an arrange
ment would give the st. Louis and San
Francisco a short line to the Atlantic sea-
board at Savannah The whole situation
is intensely interesting and the final
