Why Apathy Prevails.

The Arizona Republican few days ago accounted for the un precedented apathy which prevails throu ghout the country. regarding the presidential campaign on the ground that people had abandoned politics to welcome the return of prosperity. Tho Washing ton Herald fiuds the same solution and says:
 The politician will continue to point to the danger of this or that calamity happening in case of the election of MT. Taft or of Mir. Bryan. but the solid business men of the country. the men who really represent the country's best interests, refuse to take these cries seriously any longer. They know, better than any other class of Amer ican citizens, that the election of no man to the presidency will seriously disturb business condition And so 1t is that the people are apathetic over the campaign. They have to devote their thoughts and energies to a re- vival of business. to a return of that prosperous condition which slipped away from us some two years ago, and which we find. as q people, it is essen tial to have back again. It is not de- votion to politics that will help the business revival, but devotion to busi- ness. It is probable that a majority of the big men of affairs. the captains of industry, do not care rap which man is elected president, and. not caring, they have not the time to worry over it. The main thing is to concentrate attention on business, and that Is what most of them are doin g in the optimistic belief that by strict attention to the work in hand they can do no more good for themselves and their country that they can py needing the voice of the spel!binder or the prophecies of the politician.

MARKET, CONDITION GOOD
By THOMAS c. sHoTWELL.

New York, December 5.-(SpeciaL)-So many important bond Issues are being prepared for issue that the big people havt joined once more with sthe general public and the professional traders in Wall street are caught in a corner of their own making It was late Thurs day afternoon before professionals real ized that all their hammering was caus- ing no liquidation of importance. Tnelr covering movements grew In volume through the Friday session. All the puy- Ing was not short covering for the pub lic participated to a great extent The technical condition of the market, there fore. remains good with healthy short interest in the leading issues.
 Just at the close today a selling move ment swept over the market that car ried it down an average of points. Most of this selling Is for the account or short traders and every reaction Of this kind improves the technical condition. Low priced specialties were the feauture of today's market, several Gould shares making new high records and Reading having a quick spurt on a report that the second preferred stock would be re- tired and the common stock put on a D per cent dividend basis. As Reading has $40 100000 of concealed assets it is abund- antly able to do this. The only wonder is that it was not done long ago. The advance in Reading seemed to be the sig nal for general selling which was con tinued up to the close of the market. Shelters broke more than points and

DEsERTloNs DECREASING.
Report Shows Less This Year Than
 Any Since 1901.

Washington, December 1.-The cam paign of the war department against assertions from the army is meeting with success, according to Adjutant General F. c. Ainsworth, U. s. A., who stated in his annual report to the Secretary of War, made public today that the relative num- Der of assertions was less in 1908 than in any other fiscal year since 1901.
 The assertions during the fiscal year 1908 were 4505, or 46 per cent for the whole number of enlisted men in service in the army during that year. Every branch of the service showed a decrease in the number of assertions during the year, with the single exception of the hospital corps, where there was slight increase.
 The report says that the Fourteenth cavalry had the largest relative number of assertions of any organization in the service General Ainsworth points out the fact that of the white troops 475 per cent were reported as deserters, while only .57 per cent of the colored men in the serv- Ice deserted. General Ainsworth' says that the certainty of punishment after appre- hension has operated to reduce the num- Der of assertions.

SENTIMENT IS BEARlSH
Trade In Corn Is Quiet and Prices Close Easy Under Slow Demand for Cash Corn-Oats Steady.
 Provisions Are Firm.

Chicago December 5.-Favorable wealth CT for the fall-sowns crop of wheat in the United States had weakening effect today on local wheat market, but buying by shorts caused the mar1et to close steady at almost identical figures of the previous close. Corn closed easy; oats were steady and provisions firm.
 Bullish enthusiasm was almost entirely lacking In the wheat pit today, sentiment among pit traders generally being rather bearish. The weather bureau predicted rain or snow for the greater part of the winter wheat belt, and this forecast was mainly responsible for the heavy tone which prevailed nearly all day Leading bulls were apparently neither buying nor selling, and in consequence trade was dull and prices huceuated within a rather mar row range. Receipts in the, northwest were again light. although the move ment is still heavier than at the corre- spending time year ago. Argentina ad- vices indicated wet weather was delay . ing harvesting In the northern district, but the quality of wheat already har- vested was said to be fair. There was almost no demand for long cash wheat, and prices were steady. The market closed steady, with prices a shade lower to shade higher.
 December closed at $1. .05%Q1 .051a and May at s1.1O5sQ1 .1O94. Minneapolis, Du- luth and Chicago reported receipts of S9l cars, against 713 last week and 623 cars year ago.
 Trade in corn was quiet and heavy tone prevailed. The December delivery was relatively firmer than the future op- erations because of an official forecast of rain or snow for the corn belt. Some houses reported that orders from Ohio and South Dakota were much more lib- eral than late. Demand for cash corn, however. was slow and prices were off Ac to 6c. The market closed easy, with prices hc to Ao lower than yesterday s close. December closed at 611aQ6lssc and May at 63@63Sc. Local receipts were BOG cars, with five of contract grade.
 Oats were sold freely by local holders, who were taking advantage of the sharp advance experienced during the last few days. Demand however, was active and as result prices were well maintained. Cash oats were in only moderate demand and prices were trihe lower. The mar ket closed steady, with prices a shade higher to hc lower. Final quotations on December, 491sq50c and on May 521aQ52ssc. | Local receipts were IS cars.
 | Provisions were firm the entire session on buying by local outside shorts. A fall ing off in hog receipts had a strengthen ing effect At the close prices were 21aQ 121AQ15c higher.
 Estimated receipts for Monday: Wheat 37 cars, corn 322. oats 101, hogs 58,0O0 head i Leading futures ranged as follows
