The Highest Railway

From the New York Press.
 To the question. (Which is the highest railway in the world?" the answer is- the Central railway of Peru. In other words, the highest point reached by any railway line is touched by this road, where the altitude of the rails reaches 1o.s65 fscr above sea level To reach this point from sea level the line passes through 57 tun- nels, over dozen of principal bridges. and utiizes IS switchbacks, but has no gradient up to 4ia per cent, nor does it resort to rack propulsion. A hand cor started at Ticlio will run unaided to Cal lao. the seaport, and, as a matter of tact. such a car, equipped with safety brakes. runs before each passenger train, carry ing an inspector on the lookout for fallen rocks, or other dangers. Ticlio, above re- ferred to, is the highest station in the world, with an altitude of 15,e65 feet.
 The next highest line in the world is that from Antofagasta. Chill, to Orlru and La Paz, Bolivia. This line has also the distinction of being the narrowest gauge line two and one half feeD for such long distance. The highest point Is at Colahuasi. where the altitude is 1o,SO0 feet, 56 feet lower than the Perus yian line.

WHEAT MARKET
 SHOWS DECLINE Reluctance To Assume New Risks Offset All Bull
 ishness

Chicago, September 3o.-From a market viewpoint today the Italian-Turllish war went to the meta phorical junk pile. Wheat showed decided decline, with the close 9sc to 1Gc under yesterday. Corn fin- ished 14c lower to lsGa up. Oats closed down 2 shade or to Ac. and hog products were irregular from -1sc up to drop of 221ac.
 Popular indisposltion to assume new risks to carry over the week end ap- peared to act as a bar 10 whatever bull ishness might have developed in wheat. Spectators could find little encourage ment for a belief that other powers than Italy and Turkey might become involved in the war.
 Neither bellieerent seemed likely to im- port any wheat, Italy in particular having just harvested a record breaking crop.
 The bulls were further depressed by heavy receipts northwest and because of a prediction that as many as 1000 carloads had been scheduled to arrive Monday at Winnipeg. The only price rally during the session followed rumors of fighting between Greek and Turkish forces.
 The close was weak. The range for December was 0Sisc to 9S94c, with last sales 9s1s@9Sac, a net loss of 9sdlac.
 Wet weather strengthened corn. There was rnmor that European duties would be reduced and increased foreign buying would ensue on this side. December fluctuated between 697sq6fsc and closed steady, 1s4Ac up at Gfc.
 Cash grades were firm. No. ? yellow was quoted at 69Q69Ac Selling pressure formed a weight on oats. The week S receipts here were 300.o0o bushels more than the shipments. Last sales of De- cember were a shade net lower at 475s@ 47&c.
 Unloading by packers took the snap out of provisions. Pork was left 15d2Oc lower. Lard down, 221ac and ribs varying from 21ac gain to 171ac decline.
 Future quotations were as follows
