The registration of voters in San
Miguel county, with two precincts
missing, is 6,S42, which is said to be
a substantial increase over 1912
There is a heavy registration OF new
voters, young men VINO will cast their
first ballots. The two precincts that
have not turned in their books are
No 26 CLOS Alamos) and No. 16
(Union)
In the canvass that has been made
bg the field workers of the republican
party it is shown clearly that several
precincts that have always gone dem
ocratic are in line strongly for the re-
publican candidates. In some cases
the precinct has been turned complete
ly into a republican stronghold. The
normal G. o. P. majority Of 1000 is
likely to be nearly doubled. If the
vote can be run UP 70 between $500
ard 5000 this majority, even, is liable
to be increased.
Nothing that can be done be over
locked in the efforts to get the vote
cut. Machines and teams will be at
work all day Tuesday, calling for vot-
ters, and the assurance is given at
republican headquarters that the size
of the vote, as well as the result, will
be source Of long continued wonder
ment to the members Of the other
party
Meetings are being held nightly in
all the precincts in the county, and

 The weekend trade in the wholesale district is proving quite brisk. The pro duce dealers are supplying heavy de- n.and for fruits and vegetables. All grades of apples are exceptionally abundant or Morris avenue. and the excellent quality of most varieties on sale is such q s to create popular demand on the local market. Grapes, both Concord and cali fornias, are plentiful and many of tile retail fruit dealers have laid in large supplies Beans. corn and potatoes are on the market in large quantities, and the ocmand for celery and lettuce is good.
 Poultry dealers are also experiencing a good demand for frying chickens and hens. The demand for fowls is said to always become stronger toward the end of the week than at the beginning, and the merchants regulate the arrival of sup plies accordingly. M
 With the exception of a rise of ? cents per bushel in the price of oats, quotations on the local grain market are as vet un- changed, but the heavy foreign demand which has reacted on Chicago grain mar ket is expected to soon have it's effect on the Birmingham market.

New York. october e5.-Therc has been more optimistic talk in local cotton trade circles during the past week. and 1t seems tho general impression that good progress has been made both in the direction of re opening tue exchanges and of meeting some of tho more general problems ere ated by tho war. The new bv-laws. meet ing tho requirements of the cotton futures law and increasing commission rates were adopted on Wednesday,, and while no official announcement has been made h is understood that the successful opef- asion of the syndicate for taking over old contracts Is now assured
 A rough draft of proposed clearing house plans has been submitted to the board of ma1sagers, but there fs still much work to be done by the committee which has been authorized to employ expert as sistafsce in drawing up details. and the actual organization of such an institution Is not deemed essential to & reopening of the market
 The movement of cotton has been iI.- creasing, and there has been enough sell ins pressure to cause further declines in southern spot markets. but it was reports ed today that domestic mills were nego- tiating with bankers for and in financ- ing increased purchases. while more ao- tive investment demand is expected to develop With the reopening of the ex- changes, Wnd plans are said to be fornlts lating for shipments of cotton to Great Britain in part payment of the adverse trade balance

COUPON SPEAKS|N
 DISSOLUTION SUIT Presents Technical Argu- ment Against Continuance
 of Steel Corporation

Philadelphia, October 2.-Henry E. Cotton, special assistant to the Attorney General. took up the entire day in the federal district court here. giving reasons why the United stStes Steel corporation should be dissolved because 1t violates the sherman antitrust law as charged by the government.
 MT. .Colton's argument was largely tech nical. He argued that there was sharp competition among steel companies until they were absorbed by the big concern. The creation Of the Steel corporation was a clearly thought-out scheme intended to monopolize the iron and steel trade, he declared. The maintenance of high prices was an indication, he said. that the Steel corporation has powerful influence in the trade and that 1t actually monopolizeS business to great extent

COTTON DEMANDS
 LITTLE IMPROVED
Southern Advices Suggest Considerable Irregularity
 in Spot Situation

New York. October 2s.-Today's ad vices from the south suggested con siderable irregularity in the spot sitn- ation. Texas shippers reported smaller offerings from the interior, which some we're Inclined to attribute to the recent wet weather. but there seemed 10 he little improvement in demand and there were declines in some of the eastern belt markets, Sentiment here, how ever. appeared to be growing more op- timistic owing to increased confidence m the formation of the pool for finlnc- ing surplus supplies and there were reports that coincidentally with the talk of shipments to Great Britain through international agreements, do- nestle spinners were negotiating with bankers for the. financing of increased purchases.
 No announcements were forthcoming ss to the syndicate plan for taking over old contracts here. but delays in this matter are now attributed to the de- sire of the committee to secure the agreement of all members to the scheme rather than to any lack of financial support.

WHEAT MARKET GETS
 BIG UPWARD SWING
Foreigners Accept Without Haggling All Offers
 of Grain

Chicago october 23.---Innmense ex- port sales gave the wheat market to- day a big upward swing. The volume of trade was the largest since the eN- citement at the beginning of the war. Prices closed steady at IF @14c net advance Other leading staples, too, all scored a gain-corn @@7sc to Tsc. oats ss@1Ac. and provisions from a shade to 10c.
 Foreigners accepted without has- gling nearly every offer of wheat to- day from any point in the United states. The amount taken was esti- mated as high as s.OO0,ooO bushels. There was a lively demand from ex- porters for December delivery and 1t was current gossip that agents of Ger many and England were bidding against each other. Barring an early dip due to speculative selling, prices had no important setback from start to finish.
 Corn rose sharply, influenced by numerous reports that husking was not turning out as well as expected, and that many vessels in the South Aneri- can trade had been sunk by the Ger mans.
 Profit taking appeared to restrict the advance in oats.
 Buying of provisions was of more general character than for some weeks.
 Future otlotations were as follows.
