THE BANK STATEMENT.

saturday, March 14-p. m.
BY the operations of the New York Sub Treasury
in the wee ended last night which included the
payment of Sls2.556 for purchased bonds and the
receipt of $445 900 for payment at other Sub
Treasures. the associated banks gained $2.0sj-
BAL. The weekly bank statement published to-
day showed loss of 81 ,j23, 600. If there has
been no unnatural withdrawal or concealmcnt Of
money, the movement TO the interior was much
larger than the expert estimates indicated. The
demand from Western points. in anticipation of
the April settlements. was urgent and other ship
ments were to the South. The requirements of
New. England cities appeared to Re less than usual.
The statement was made necessarily on falling
averages. and the actual condition Of the banks
considerably poorer than the average SHOW
ing. The changes resulted IN loss OF Sd'0o
400 IN the surplus reserve which Is now SILL,
575, against 81 ,050,S00 year ago and SS.O1O,S'o
in the preceding year.

WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.
The improvement that begun yesterday
was continued with greater spirit to-day. For
a half holiday the market was unusually active
and the movement of prices almost without eX-
ception was toward higher level ST. Paul was
the most active stock, but Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy anu few other shares made larger
gains. While part of the buying was for the
short account, there distinctly better temper
in the speculation, although there i'm
portant news affecting the course of prices. Ru-
mors of fresh financial troubles in Paris were not
confirmed and were not generally believed by
houses with large foreign connections. A feature
of the trading was sharp rise in Rome, WatcrtOwn
and Ogdensburg, and, after the close Of bust
ness, the announcement was made that the New
York Central Railroad Company had leased the
property with guarantee of per cent dividends
on the stock The closing was at slight cOnces-
sions from the highest points, in conseq uence Of
the publication of the bank statement but il
by no means weak.
THE DAY IN THE BOND MARKET.
Government bonds continued TO be neglected,
but the market was strong in tone at unchanged
quotations as follows.

INTELLIGENT CHIMPANzEEs.

Among the most remarkable stories
in Mr.. Stanley's book on Africa is one
told to the explorer by Emin Pasha.
Here it is:
The forest of Msongwa is infested by
a tribe of chimpanzees of great stat
ure, who make almost nightly raids on
the villages and little plantations of
the Mswa natives, carrying away their
bananas and other fruits. There is
nothing very remarkable about this
fact, since many kinds of animals
make pillaging forays upon the habita-
tons of men; but the surprising part
Of Emin's narrative is the statement
that in these thieving raids the chin
panZees make use of lighted torches
to hunt out the fruits.
"If had not been myself a witness
of this spectacle" Mr.. Stanley reports
Emin as saying, nothing would ever
have made me believe that any race
of monkeys possessed the art Of max
ing fire"
On one occasion, Emin says. a chin
panzee of this intelligent tribe stole a
drum from the huts of his European
troops and made off with it, beating it
as he ran.
The monkey took the drum to the
headquarters of his own people" who
were evidently much charmed with it,
for the Egyptian soldiers often heard
the monkeys beating it vigorously,
but irregularIy. Sometimes in the
middle of the night some sleepless

Hn,r 70 KIN Cat

A number of people are interested
in learning the best way of painlessly
killing animals, and we may usefully
note a communication on the subject
from q correspondent of the E7Igli h
Mechanic. He writes: THE most
merciful way of destroying cats is to
chloroform them Draw a sock knit
ted one preferred, it being elastic)
over pussy's head so that the toe of the
sock Is brought to her nose, or nearly
so; then pour about half teaspoonful
Of ehloroform on the sock close to her
nose. Almost as soon as she has be-
come frightened by the unusual smell
Of chloroform she quietly goes off TO
sleep; q little more chloroform Is add
ed, perhaps twice, and pussy never
wakes again"

AWKWARD. BUT PRETTY.
The Japanese Women Ungraoeful Becaus,
OF Queer Eooteanr.

OF Queer EOOtgear.
Henry Z. Finck, IN an article on
Japanese women in the Cosmopolitan,
after speaking of the native grace and
beauty of the ladies of Japan, asserts
that they are the most awkward walkers
in the world. He says:
Fashion has brought about the hid
eous awkwardness of the Japanese
gait by making it a strict law of Ell
quettc, carefully taught all girls, that
in walking the toes must be turned in,
the knees kept far apart, and the soles
remain parallel to the floor and hardly
leave it. The result is a slovenly shut
fling, aggravated in the house by loose
slippers always on the point of drop
ping off, and out of doors by horrible
wooden clogs. The clogs are fastened
to the mittened foot by simple cord
or thong passing between the big toe
and the other toes. Every time the
foot IS raised the clogs leave the sole
and at every step come down on the
ground with a ridiculous CHATTER. The
current notion that the Chinese custom
of mutilating the feet by compression
prevails in japan is entirely incorrect.
