Evidence OF the stability OF the au-
tomobile industry and the permanent
popularity OF this new means OF To-
comotion, Is Afforded by the fact that,
in spite OF the recent financial de-
precision, there wRa but little. II any,
falling on In the volume OF trade
Statistics published In connection
with the present automobile exhibit
tons draw attention 10 the fact that
whereas the automobile business done
In 1903 amounted TO less than So
100000. the total for 1907 reached
tlO5,OO0,000, and In 1908 will show
but little. II any. falling on. The
total amount OF capital invested is
about s200,000,000 and the various
establishments connected with the
manufacture, sale, and houseing OF au-
tomobiles employ nearly 10000 peo-
pie. There are In the United States
over $50 firms engaged In the con-
structiOn OF automobiles, and II Is es-
timated that over $1,000 cars have
been sold during the year. Returns
from the twenty-nine States which
have compulsory registration show
that over 100000 cars have been reg
istered; and an estimate OF the APP
proximate total for all the States
gives reason to believe that there are
at present over $4,000 motor cars In
this country According TO the table
OF registrations, New York State leads
with $3.50 cars; Pennsylvania Is
second with 25,129 cars; California
third with 1895 cars, followed by New
Jersey with 1921 cars; Massachu-
sets with 17,439 cars, and Illinois
with 1896. The Importation OF mo-
tor cars is rapidly decreasing, al
though II is estimated that about $2S,-
100000 Of foreign cars have been linz
ported and sold In the United States.
IL Is satisfactory TO know that the
tide has turned, and that American
builders are sending their cars abroad
In increasing numbers.

Abdul Hamid Offers to Place
Affairs Entirely in Hands
of Ministers.
SULTAN'S FATE NOT DECIDED
Chamber of Deputies and Senator's Dis.
casing Question of. Deposition
of Ruler.

Constantinople, April "a. - The
Young Turks have won another vic
tory over Sultan Abdul Hamid, but
whether the sultan will remain as SOW
erelgn is yet to be decided, although
ne has offered to place the affairs of
government entirely in the hands Of
ministers responsible to parliament.
TeWfik Pasha, grand vizier, yester-
day arranged a compromise with GER
tain influential Constitutionalists, and
this was approved by the sultan per-
sonally, but doubts exist whether this
agreement will be accepted by a ma
Jority of the committee of union and
progress, or by enough of the military
group to carry it into effect.
Discuss Deposition Of Sultan.
In addition to promising to withdraw
himself from administrative activities,
the sultan agrees to change in the
personnel of troops guarding the pal
ace, and the replacing of the Constan-
tlnople garrison by troops from the
corps which have practically been in
vesting the city for four days. The
chamber of deputies and some Of the
senators met yesterday at San Ste
fano and are now discussing the ques-
ton of the deposition of the sultan.
The warships have gone to that
place and officers and men have offer
ed their services to the Constitutional
party. Mahmoud Schefket Pasha,
commander of the Third army corps,
has arrived at that place, and the con-
centration Of the investing army is
now complete. Doubtless the next
twenty-four hours will decide the fate
of the sultan, who remains passively
at his palace, awaiting the issue.
Warships on Hand.
The latest news from the massa-
cres district indicates an improvement
in conditions. French and Italian
cruisers have arrived at Mersina,
where quiet prevails. The British bat
tleship Swiftsur has landed provisions
and medicine intended for Adana, and
it is report d that all available troops
Of the Fifth army corps have been
ordered to the scene Of the massa-
cres. The situation at Alexandretta
also has improveS, and Beilan is still
safe from disorders.

Senior Castro insisted that he did

Chicago, April 24.-That James A.

as the wheat king" has withdrawn
from the market after disposing of his

that prices have tumbled over cents

Day Is Sensational.
The session of the board of trade
was sensational yesterday. Bulls had
expected that after the 6-cent decline
Of the two previous sessions a recov-

From nearly every point came re
ports of normal or even better, cror

down and the shipments from Argen

tries were said to be greater than
usual at this time of the year.
Many Fortunes Wiped Out.
Bears filled the wheat pit in a dense
mass, and like an eruptive volcano
poured forth swollen stream OF
wheat. Longs liquidated all along the
line, and the execution Of stop-loss
orders added to the confusion.
