Daily Financial Gossip
By HOLLAND

New York, October 11.-(Special.)- campaign. Superficial appearances have caused some of the leaders of the organizations that are directing the campaigns for both to be apprehensive lest the disappearance of whirlwind excitement might justify the fear that the citizens are apathetic. The registra- tions of voters, however, and the re- ports from various states which have within a day or two come to New York make it clear that apathy is tho a characteristic of this campaign. The registrations already reported are very large. This is partly explained by the fact that women in every state are to vote. But women voted in New York state last year and in other states And yet the registration for this year hero and elsewhere is so large as to make it certain that the normal strength of each party is to be represented at the ballot box, although it is impossible to tell what shifting there may be from one party to the other. Each party is to pull very large vote. The indi- cations are that the so-called social ists and other side issue parties will not muster as many vote as they did in the preidential election of 1916. This vote is negligible
 A STUPENDOUS PAYMENT
 On October 15 the Anglo French loan will be liquidated. Five years ago the banking syndicate which was or ganized by J. P. Morgan absorbed five hundred millions represented by the joint notes issued by Great Britain and France. At one time it was thought that hOth Ep p1a pd nd Era iph seek to refund a part of this loan. But in the spring of this year the leaders of the syndicate received in- formation that the loan would be paid in full, although it might be necessary for France to make a new loan for part of the amount. Of the $500, 900, 900 which are to be paid on Friday s100, 000,000 will be taken up by the new loan recently obtained by France. It has not been possible to learn exactly the way in which this loan is to be paid. probably some part of it has all ready been paid. Very likely the funds will be placed under the control of the banking syndicate which perfected the loan. But in any event s400,OoO, 900 is to be paid and part of it has been un- doubtedly turned in so that this loan will be liquidated. Enormous as this loan is, without any precedent in American banking finance as it was. nevertheless the probabilities are that so far as the public is concerned no evidence of the payment of that loan will appear. It will be handled with the accuracy, skill and efficiency which now characterize American banking organization. It may make new in- vestment possible. It may lead other nations to the belief that the time is propitious for approaching the Ameri- can money markets in order to secure new loans. In any event the payment in accordance with the terms named

Skate-Sharpening Tool

The need filled by a little skate sharpening tool described with illus tration in the Popular Mechanics Mag azine can be appreciated by every skater who has lost day or more of lis fayorite winter sport because his skates were at the hardware store, be- ing sharpened. It consists of cylin- drical abrasive stone which is inclosed between two plates of metal. Below the stone these terminate in flanges which guide it along the blade. Above it they are curved to form a grip for the hand The stone Is revolved through a few degrees when worn in order that it may always produce the much desired hollow edge.
