in part to the news of the embarrassment of an important bond house having con- nections both in New York and Boston, and to the knowledge of the measures which had to be taken to conserve the large resources involved. The. decided strength developed by the foreign ex- change market had rather an impressive effect, as implying an effective foreign de- mand for withdrawal of funds from New York. The demand was associated with the war news and was the occasion of some misgivings as to the accuracy of the more superficial indications.
 Bonds were irregular; total sales, par value, $3920,0 900. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

APATHY AMONG VOTERS.
Registration in New York Shows Big
 Falling Off.

New York, October GA general falling off in the number of voters registered on the first day of registration as compared with the last presidential year was noted when the totals were received ffom the various assembly districts late tonight. The apparent apathy is explainef in great measure however by the new for malties required to be gone throuth this year by intending voters. The Jewish holiday also initiated against large turnout. The aggregate registration ia the boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx with four election districts miss ing is 123.971. which is 23,O62 less than the aggregate for 1904 The total for the greater city is 2275Ss. or 2S.474 less than the first days figures four years ago.

The improvement which resulted sent shorts to cover with the result that the market closed steady at a net advance for the day of Il to IA points.

SLUMP IN WHEAT IS VERY DECIDED Trading Is of Moderate Volume
 With Moderate Selling AVAILABLE SUPPLY HEAVY Profit Taking In the Corn Market, Added to Bearish Crop Reports,
 Causes DecIne-Oats and
 Provisions Are Weak.
SUPPLY HEAVY

Chicago, October GA record breaking increase in the worlds available supply of wheat was an important factor in caus- ing a slump in wheat prices here today. Final quotations showed a net loss for the day of ssc to 1@1Sc. Corn, oats and provisions were also weak.
 The wheat market was nervous the tire session, and trade was of only mod crate volume. There was considerable selling at the start of the wheat bought on yesterdays war scare, when early cables disclosed the fact that the foreign grain markets apparently reflected no ex- citement in Europe over tile prospect of the beginning of hostilities between Fur key and Bulgaria. Continued liberal re- ceipts in the northwest also induced mod crate selling early in the day. As a re- suit of this profit talSngs prices declined nearly 1c on the local exchange during the first half hour A sharp rally oc- cured later in the session owing to an broken out in the Balkans
 The strength, however, was soon dissi- pated by Bradstreets report of the worlds visible supply of wheat which showed an increase of Il, ,472,OO0 bushels for the week, a gain exceeding last weeks record. The absence of export business here and at northwestern centers also contributed to the late weakness, notwithstanding that the seaboard reports large amounts taken for export. The market for cash wheat here was firm, and at southwestern mar kets prices were up 1Ac.
 The market closed weak at almost the lowest point.
 ! Profit-taking by local longs on liberal scale caused weakness in the corn market, sentiment in the pit being bearish almost all day. Much of the selling was due to numerous reports received today which seemed to indicate that the new crop had not been seriously injured by the recent frost. The market was also affected by the Ohio report which gave the condition of corn in that state as 80, compared with a condition of "A on the crop a year ago. Prices at the close were almost at the bottom. Local receipts were 167 cars with 39 of contract grade.
 Oats were dull and weak the bearish SShehiSht pcihB idi6ely uue tO lHe weak ness of wheat, although a slow demand for the cash grain was partly responsible for the heavy tone Prices for the cash grain were AQ1ac lower. Local receipts were 413 cars.
 Renewed selling of provisions. by local packers caused fresh slump in the price of the hog products. following the steady decline of the past few days. Re- ceipts of hogs at western packing centers were much larger than for the corre- spending day year ago, and the price of hogs here was off 1@15c as result of the heavy movement Pork showed the greatest weakness. At the close prices were 5@50c lower
 Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat "A cars. corn S3 cars, oats 12S cars, hogs 26.000 head.
