IES1ERDAY's STOCK MARKET.
Falls Back Into Condition Which Ex..
 isted Last Week,

New York, Oct. 2S.-The stock mark ct to-day fell back into the condition which existed last week before it was upset by the unexpected advance in the Bank of England rate. The character of the trading gave ground for the as- sumption that international restraint was exercised upon the speculation. It was assumed that the banking and financial world generally would be glad to see restricted speculative activity but With values maintained of protecte- ed from any violent reaction. There was some resumption of pressure in the early market. This was regarded as 4 natural consequence of yesterdays sud den rebound. The effective recovery was accepted as a demonstration of the passing. of the first results of last weeks money development and of the more rational view of the actual mean ing of those developments from the point of view of American affairs. Haing effected this demonstration the too rapid advance was checked and the market let down into the waiting condition into which it had fallen last NSSAAt -L4AS 4AlGctGuIC Ol IGIltL TUT money requirements proposed by the secretary of the treasury was not such as was expected. The increase in currency while calculated to fill the de- mand for relief from the interior, of- fers no basis for the extension for tho barking credits, such as would be pro vided by the addition to banking re- serves by releasing gold or legal ten ders from the treasury, although it is expected that the necessity of loan con- traction will be limited owing to the relief of the cash reserves from drain for the circulation by the shipment in stead of the new bank note issues. The treasury plan was, so far, disappoint- ment to speculative expectations. But the effect of this was neutralized by the understanding that other measures of relief were considered inopportune by New York bankers owing to the prospect that any considerable easing of the New York money market would facilitate demand to withdraw gold for London account The definite de- nial of yesterdays rumors of large loan by the Bank of France to the Bank of England was, for this reason taken more account of than the differ- ence of the treasury relief from yester- days suppositionsc regarding it. The movement of sterling exchange in all markets showed the effect of Londons imperative cali for the return of credits. Open market discounts in London were slightly shaded. The early strength of sterling exchange here again gave place to some reaction when cotton bills appeared in the market. After the early selling, which was partly on account of stocks bought yesterday to support the market, was over a recovery set in which became practically complete in the final hour although there was a slightly irregular tone in the final dealings.
 Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par value $1,71S000.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

OBJECTED TO sELKs NAME.
Attempt Made to Keep Him Off Voting
 List,

Attempt Made to Keep Hlfn OIL young
 List.
 Objection was made at the session of the board of selectmen for the making of voters yesterday to the placing of the name of Charles J. Selk, assistant manager of Springside home, on the lists. He was formerly on the voting list from St. John street. in the Sixth ward. He Is now living at Springside farm, which is in the Thirteenth ward, and MT. selk wants to register from there, The registrars from the Sixth ward had dropped his name from that ward.
 One of the reasons why it was not thought right to place MT. Selks name on the list was that, as asserted, he had not lived in the state for a year continuously,
 Under the protest of the democratic general registrar the board of select men voted to place MT. Selk's name on the list in the Thirteenth ward.

in our plans. We put on our shore clothes and

ready to leave the Sleeper. When we return

But new idea had come to the skipper s

to Constantinope to begin the search for my

the mate. In another hour he was sent ashore

"She would have done SO if had not made

the fun is all over. Pallingrove has sore

all. Say it was mistake"
What do you mean, Gay?" demanded the
skipper of the Sleeper, taken all aback by my
words. ,
"Sir Morgan agreed to release me, and all
you have to do is to withdraw your charge,

But the officers were not willing to retire
from the Olivia without some explanation,

Morgan explaining the situation to Palm

"But what was the mistaken. asked the
officer.

Maddy related the particulars of his CON
