( Now York World Ca blegram-Special Telegram. ) "HverythlnB points to an Improved market for wheat until a succession of bounteous harvests drives prices down again , " said the editor of the Mark Lane Kxprcss , the oldest es tablished , most Influential organ of the Drltlsh farmer , at his ofllcc In the Strand today , to the World representative. "The considerations rcspcctl'm ; the Argentine. Kast Indian and Australian crops arc chlclly conjectural. My judgment Is formed apart fiom them. "Tho rise In the price of wheat Is legiti mate , the result of natural causes. It has been anticipated by nil concerned In the market for some time , but It came earlier and the Jump has been greater than was expected. The suddenness of the rise was duo to speculation In options. The reac tion now taking place proves that the ad vance was premature. This week the mar kets have dropped and I ahould not bo BUrpriEcd If this continued for a week or two. Hut prices will go up again and If Americans do not glut the EuglUh market they will advance to higher figures than have yet been reached. 1 have been ad vising the Urltlsh farmer for some tlmo lo hold whcnt. Those who nro able to do EO , ilhl lie-Id on , but the farmers here , lu the main , arc In no belter plight than the farmers In America nnd most of them have been compelled to sell to pay rents. "Tho advance In prices Is fully warranted by the situation. In Its origin , It was not speculative , although speculators rushed In nnd drove It beyond what was rcasonabU' for the moment. The world had no largo supply of wheat to dispose of and England had dangerously depleted granaries. After the first rush prices are steadying now , and a good level will be maintained through the winter. "The Argentine prospects , according to my lalcut advices , arc good , unless lute October frosts spoil the crop. The failure of the Argentine crop , of course , would appre ciably affect the market. "I am no believer In any heavy Import of wheat Into India , but It Is now practically reitnln that the Indian supplies cannot bo counted upon , and some wheat ami mnl/.e must be Imported to make up for the fail ure of both the rice and wheat crops. "Had weather hero has greatly delayed the sowing of cprlng wheat. This Is true , not only In England , but of the continent. Unless the weather plcka up , November sowing may bo Jeopardized. Although wo can sow In the spring , It In not as good as doing It In October or November. This may affect the European crops next year , nnd again give the American farmer a dc- advantage.

The approach of the election waa Blgnalhcd In financial cir cles hero loday by n rapid and remarkable advance In the money market. Soon after the opening of the exchange for business today there was n great demand for cal money , which opened nt 10 per cent , 1 per cent higher than the average rate yester day , when It lluctuatcd between 7 and 12 per cent. By leaps nnd bounds the rate advanced until at noon 50 per cent waa demanded for cash loatm. The demand sent the rates up until late In the day , whei 100 per cent was naked nnd SO bid. This was the . closing quotation. The jump to 100 per cent began gradually and proceedci amid much excitement. The first loan wan made at 10 per cent anil the rate then ail vanced to 1C and finally , about 2:30 : p. in. n broker , who wanted money , was compellei to bid Ihe rule up to 50 per cent befort ho could secure the required accommodation The price then lluctuatcd between 40 nm CO per cent. Ilusincs.s was only moderate , ns offerings of funds were extremely light As the demand for money Increased the price asked Increased by tens from C > 0 to CO , then to TO , until the maximum waa reached. The Immedlato cause of the stringency was the calling of loans by sonic of the banks that wished to prepare themselves for possible large demands tomorrow. Loans made on Friday go over until Monday , ac cording to the custom nf the street although the banks legally have the right to cal money on nny day of the week. The banks as a rule , are reserving their surplus fumln for the accommodation of their regular cus tomers , who arc being supplied at G per cent In proportion to the business dene by them . The stringency was nol especially due to shipments of funds to the Interior , as the volume of this business has not cxcccdci ! the average of last week , flankers report nharp Inquiry for funds for their regular clients and a sympathetic hardening In fluence on the money market was excrteil by a report of an Increase In demands for cash gold , Dulllon brokers advanced the commission premium on gold 3-ic per cent to Uifp-li per cent. Predictions nre current In the street of materially higher figures In money tomor row , but Borne leading bankers express the opinion that the worst of the Hurry has been seen. Money has not been so high since the Baring panic omo years ago , when It wont skyward In the same way. wiin.vr MAicis \ljir7TnT.\\T nisi : Riteri l' | > un Additional Dlinu u tin * San KriinolNcn Mnrliel.

TWELVE MISSING , THOUGHT TO BE DEAD .AllnoViiM Iille for ( lie liny or ( lie IOMN of 1.1 ft1 Would I'riitiitlily Have Ileen Very Much WILKESUARRE. I'a. , Oct. 29. A terrible explosion of gas occurred In No. 3 mine of the Lchlgh and Wllkcsbarre Coal company , South Wllkesbarre , between 1 and 2 o'clock this afternoon. Six men nro known to bo dead and three Injured. It Is not yet known tow many were In the mine at the time of the explosion , but twelve are- reported Hissing and It Is believed all of thcso have wished. The dead who have been brought ; o the surface are : WILLIAM n. JONES , fire boss. JOHN JOSEPH , assistant mine foreman. THOMAS OWENS , miner. WILLIAM LACEY , rock miner. JAMES HEIIRON. laborer. JOSEPH WORTH , flro boss. The Injured , so far as known , arc : David Williams , overcome by black damp. John Davis , overcome by black damp. The cause of the explosion will probably never be known. The mine was Idle for the day. Usually there are from -100 to SOO men employed In the mine. Had they all been at work when the explosion oc curred the loss of llfo would have been very large. The only men In the mine this afternoon were the company hands and bosses , who were at work In the rock tun nel , changing the air course. The place was very gaseous and the men worked with safety lamps. Jt Is believed the gas was Ignited by a blast. David Williams , the driver boss , was nt the head of the slope , 500 feet away , when the explosion occurred and was hurled some distance and Injured. Ho was the only one In that vicinity who escaped alive. The explosion was BO severe that It was plainly felt at the north of the shaft. Thereof roof of the fan house was blown away. The alarm was promptly given and hundreds of men , women and children rushed to the head of the shaft. The grief of the wo men who had husbands , sons , or brothers In the ralno was heartrending. The work of organizing rescue gangs was begun without delay. It was n perilous undertaking , as the ccqucl proved , but no man faltered. I'iro Hess William K. Jones and Assistant Mine Foreman John Joseph selected thu men for the first party and themselves led the way. All were overcome by the dread afterdamp , but not until they had found Driver Hess David Williams. All except Joseph succeeded In reaching the foot of the shaft and were removed to the surface , but the old fire boss.WIlllnm H. Jones , succumbed to the deadly firedamp and died In halt on hour after being brought out , despite the efforts of doctors to save his life. John Joseph , the other hero , became sep arated from the llrst party , and the second rescuing party found his body and removed It to the surface at 2:30 : o'clock. A num ber of company men who were working In a different part of the mine reached the sur face by the No. 5 shaft and also by another opening. The bodies of Thomas Owens , William I.uccy , James Ilcrroii and John Worth , who were at work In the rock tunnel , were found at 9 o'clock. They were horribly burned ar.d hardly recognizable. The rescurcrs nro now at work clearing the tunnel In the expectation of finding more bodies. It Is believed , however , that six Is the total number of dead. On .March 2. 1S90 , In this same colliery , eight men were Imprisoned and died before they could ho reached by the rescuing party. KII.I.KD OX A TRACTION I.IX13.

The Immigrant traffic problem which has been perplexing the eastern and western lines for many years has been settled during a two days' conference In this city between repre sentatives of the transatlantic steamship companies and the trunk and western lines. The conclusion reached Is that the middle men or first ward agents , who have grown rich In the booking of Immigrants , must go , and hereafter the railroad companies , both east and west , will co-operate with the steamship companies In the hauling of the bnslncits. The lunik lines have been dealing with the first ward am.r.r for years , and have been paying them a commission on the business turned over. As a result of this arrangement there has always been con siderable friction between the Southern Pacific and western lines. Repeated at tempts have been made by western lines to bring about an amicable understanding , but the Southern Pacific , which hpd the Sea board Air line as an eastern feeder , de clined all terms of peace unless all agents were abolished and the business was handled exclusively by the steamship corn- panics. Under the now agreement the long standIng - Ing differences between the Southern Pacific and western lines will be ternilncd and westbound Immigrant traffic will be equally divided among all the Interested lines , after January 1 , next. Under the now arrange ments the steamship companies will work on the same basis of commissions as are now allowed the middlemen , and will also control prepaid orders.
