War Reduces Enrolment,

The great war has had the effect of
greatly depicting the attendance at
the big colleges and universities, so
far as male students are concerned.
According to w. D. Hiestand, regis
trar, the total enrolment at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin is 1873 per cent
less than last year. There are 1927
students registered, compared with
1889 at this time last fall. The de-
crease is almost entirely in the upper
classes. There are nearly as many
women as men, whereas the ratio in
former years has been approximately
2 to / in favor of the men. The de-
crease is greatest in the law school,
being about SO per cent; agricultural
college second.

WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW

NEW YORK, Oct 6.-Not until the latter part of the week, after prices had experienced further serious inn pairment, did the stock market make even moderate recovery from it's ir- regular decline of the past fortnight. Improvement was attributed in part to the adjournment of congress. but probably resulted in larger degree from an over extended short interest.
 Complicated features incorporated i'll the governments program of war taxes and revenues were held mainly accountable for the further deprecia- ton of industrials, but no plausible reason other than poor earnings was offered in explanation of the steady liquidation ot investment rails.
 The extent to which increased ex- penses are cutting into net returns was seen in the reports of some 50 roads for August, when.a gross gain of SIG, 0o0,000 was swallowed up by greater cost of operations.
 Bethlehem Steel broke sharply on an- nouncement of the failure of the bank ing syndicate to market more thar two thirds of the new p-eIerred shares and kindred stocks as well as coppers lost ground on rumors dealing with the stability of prevailing dividend dis bursements
