FINANCE AND COMMERCE Market Quotations From the Leading Business Centers. CHICAGO MARKETS. CHICAGO. Nov. ::?More peaceful news abroad today and a slack export demand, together with a heavy in? crease for October in European stocks, caused a decline in wheat. December closed l-2?t.r>-S lower. Corn lost 1-S. Oats advanced 1-4. Pork left off 2 1-2 hgher. Lard 2 l-2(fT'5e and ribs 2 l-2c higher. The leading futures ranged as fol? lows: NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. NEW YORK. Nov. 3?The market practically retrieved today the losses of the last two days, the majority of tlie railroad stocks closing within a sinali fraction of last Monday's prices. There was considerable issegularity at the opening, due to the depression in London. There was a good deal of activity during the first hour, mainly centered in the specialties, and changes in the railroad list were almost un appreeiable, though the market held a very hard surface. Trading was dull, almost to the point of stagnation until the last fifteen minutes, when the most notable gains were made. The move? ment started with a sudden advance of nearly four points in Metropolitan Street Railway and Consolidated Gas, followed with an almost eo.ua! gain. St. Paul preferred sold at 162 1-2, a new high record and Great Nirthern prefer? red jumped iver a point. Other railroad stocks, which extenued their net gains to a point or over, were Omaha. North? west and Denver preferred. Gains in the grangers and Northern Pacific and one or two other stocks approximated a point. The market was held through the early dealings by the strength of sugar, which rose a'bove 115 and closed after various tluctuations. Tobacco and fed? eral steel preferred also showed a hardening tendency, but were much less active than of late. The recovery in stocks was attributed to relief over tlie more peaceful prospects abroad, as indicated by the recovery in British consols, the earsing of the discount rate in London and the weakness of the wheat market. London bought in this market for the first time in several days. In view of these developments and the continued ease of the local money market the advance in sterling and continental exchange is difficult to account for. The total sales of stocks today were 194.300 shares. The leading stocks clised as fol? lows: Afclneon. 12? Kalthuore & Ohio. 44 Canada Pacilic.

Frauchlsu Application tu Counc.l. Pi. I'tecker Clioxeii C011 ciliiimi other LocalH of luteront. Newport News and Hampton are to be linked anew in bonds of steel. In other words another electric railway 13 to connect the two towns. That tact became generally known last night from the application of a number of capital? ists to the town council of Hampton for franchise, rights of way and the requi? site privileges. The company making the application is the Peninsula Railway Company, und it was made through their local attor? ney. Mr. Francis F. Causey. The scheme is not a new one. though it had, perhaps, passed out of the public memory until the recent application for franchises in Newport News recalled it, but the Pen? insula Railway Company was incorpor? ated under an act of the- General As? sembly of Virginia, enacted February 21st. lSt?S. In the legislative charter Messrs. W. A. Post, L. P. Stearnes. Frank Lee. W. E. Cottrell and A. L. Parker are named as incorporators. Mr. Lee is a Hampton man and Mr. Par? ker from Elizabeth City county, all the others being well known Newport New? gentlemen. The minimum capital stock named in the charter is $10.00(1 and the maximum $200,000. and the Daily Pres.* representative is reliably informed that the actual capital behind the enterprise is near the maximum figure. The route of the proposed railway line, after leaving the corporate limits of Newport News, is thence to the Llrlnrfleld road, thence on or near that road to its junction with the Scone's Dam road, thence on or near said road to or near the Newmarket schoolhouse. and thence to and into, Hampton via Queen street extended: thence across to Lincoln street and down that thor? oughfare across King street to Wine: from Wine and Lincoln a branch will run to Queen street, but the main line will continue along Wine street to Mai. lory avenue, across Hampton creek on the present bridge, or upon a bridge to be hereafter erected, and on to the left of and past the Hampton Female Col? lege tu Fast Hampton. Just where the eastern terminus of the line is to be Is not definitely stated. The same company recently made ap? plication for local franchise in Newport News. Last night a similar application was made to the Hampton council. While necessarily a competing line, the proposed road does not touch the right of way nor clash with the privi? leges of the Newport News and Old Point Railway and Electric Company. There is reliable authority for the state? ment that if the desired rights and fran? chises can be secured without delay the new line will be pushed to completion in a few months. TOWN COUNCIL MEETING. Dr. Plecker Elected to Succeed Mr. Booker?Other Business. The town council met at S o'clock last night in its chamber in the courthouse; present Mayor Hope, president, and Messrs. Whiting, Cuningham, Scher merhorn, Williams and Bryant. The minutes of the last monthly meet? ing were read and approved. Mayor Hope submitted his report, which was received and tiled. The town sergeant submitted his re? port, which was similarly disposed of. Tint finance committee, though its chairman, Mr. Whiting. mads?a. verbal report that there was availa *r. $100 for the purpose of uniforming1' h" police. The committee recommended appro? priation of that amount for purpose stated. The report was ado??V,"'.*\pd an ordinance ordered drafted to- cov^.- the case. Mr. Cunningham, chairman of the fire committee, reported that the con? dition of the fire engine boiler demanded that it be sent away for repairs. In? quiry elicited the fact that the repairs necessary could be made most expedi tiously at Newport News, and the mat? ter was referred to the fire committee with power to act. Hostler W. J. Daougherty, in a com? munication, stated that he preferred Iiis work and salary to a furlough, and on motion ho was allowed his preference. Complaint was made of the unsatis? factory work of the scavenger by Mr. Cunningham and by citizens. On mo? tion of Mr. Whiting the matter of viola? tion of contract was referred jointly to the health committee and town attor? ney with power to act. On Mr. Whiting's motion the rules and regular order of procedure were suspended in order to allow Mr. Causey, of Hampton, and certain Newport News gentlemen who were present to address the council. Mr. Causey briefly stated that he and his associates were present with a view to securing a right of way within the corporate limits for an electric railway line from Newport News. He had draft? ed an ordinance covering the case. Mr. John G. Livezey, of Newport News, then briefly outlined the history and plans of the Peninsula Railway Company, which proposes to build the line. The draft of the ordinanre covering the case was then read by the clerk. Under the terms of the ordinance the maximum fare in Hampton Is to be 5 cents, and the maximum fare between Newport News and Hampton 10 cents. The railroad company is to pay to the city for the franchise and privileges granted $300 annually, whicli sum shall cover and Include all municipal taxa? tion. The franchise is to run fifteen years from date. The corporators named are Messrs. W. A. Post, L. P. Stearnes Frank Lee. W. E. Cottrell. A. L. Parker and John G. Livezey. Under the terms of an ordinance adopted last April, all proposed ordi? nances must lie over for thirty days be? fore action upon them is taken. Messrs. Causey and Livezey urged upon the council the value of prompt action, In? asmuch as time was now an important consideration with the company. Its legislative charter would expire by lim? itation in February. 1899. and it was de? sired to begin work as soon as practica? ble in order not to vacate the charter. Mr. Causey stated that the company was now In position to build the road and desired to do it as soon as possible. The route, while definitely outlined, had not yet been surveyed, and there was much work to be done. ( Inquiry elicited '.he fact that'\j the Newport News franchise had not yet been acted upon, nor hud the matter been brought before the Elizabeth City county Board of Supervisors. The town ordinance was inexorable, however, and th(. ordinance went to tlu ordinance committee and the petition? ers- representatives thanked the council and retired. Captain Schermerhorn. who succeed, ed .Mr. Foster, resigned, was given the committee assignments of his predeces? sor. On motion of Mr. Whiting the coun? cil went into the election of a successor to Mr. G. Wray Booker, whose tenur. the office of councilman from the Second ward, had been terminated by his re? moval from the city. The unit ion was adopted. Messrs. W. A. Plecker and K. I.!. Chiles were placed in nomination and Dr. decker elected by a vote of :i 1., 2. The clerk was directed to notify the gen^'inan of his election and also of his assignment to committees, among which Is that of chairman of the ordi? nance committee, to which tin- street railway matter is referred. All properly approve,! bills were or? dered paid and the council having com pletcd the business before it adjourned. LABOR STATISTICS. Clerk Harry W. Booker, of the Coil ty Court, yesterday received a let I from Mr. Archer Montague. State com- i missioner of labor, making a rather per- | emptory demand for .statistical infor? mation as to Elizabeth city county. The commissioner inclosed a blank form containing interrogatories as to area soil, arable land, woodland, Improved land, number of farms, quantity and kind of fuel and various others. Much of tlie Information asked was not easily attainable in precise data, bill aftei much work and worry the clerk suc? ceeded In answering all the questions in approximate figures and terms. The labor bureau was created by the last session of the legislature in an ael known as the Kizer bill. Its object is to compile and keep tor reference indus? trial statistics and information calcu? lated to show the products and raw ma? terials of every county and what Indus tries are thriving or would thrive then TRUSTEE'S SALE.
