TO MOVE THE CROPS.
n Large Demand for Paper Money in
Small Denominations.

Washington City, Sept. 2-The furnish
ing OF small notes and silver dollars 10
meet the demand for money to move the
crops is likely 10 absorb the energies of
the treasury department during the next
few weeks more than the demand for gold.
The demand is not so active this year as
Ii has sometimes been. and is not expect
cd TO be, because the national banks are
better equipped than usual with small
notes. their surplus reserves are larger.
and the treasury itself has been making
its recent shipments of money in notes
for s. and $40 There is a large supply Of
both these denominations in the currency
reserve vaults of the treasury. The sup
ply of notes for 81 and & is not so large.
but can be increased If necessary. There
is little discrimination in the demands up
on the treasury as 10 the character of the
paper currency sent out, so long as 1t is
in new bills for small denominations.
The usual policy of fhe department is TO
unload silver certificates as far as posi-
bic. to follow these by Sherman treasury
notes. and 10 retain the old legal tender
notes until the last. The diffusion of
small Sherman notes In distant parts OF
the country prevents their presentation at
the sub-treasuries for redemption in gold,
and the holding Of the legal tender cuts
off in a measure the excess Of currency
redeemable in gold at New York.

Increasing Usefulness of Employment
Bureau-Women in Demand.

The free employment bureau at the cor
ner of Yesler avenue and North Fifth
street, is increasing in usefulness. Dur
ing the month of April eighty-nine men
and 191 women were found employment;
IN May, ia men and 1877 women. and in
June so far over 80 women.
The women usually get work as wait
resses. cooks, dishwashers house clean
ers. clothes washers and jobs OF general
homework. For men the variety Is Of
course much larger. Women seldom have
10 wait more than a week for a place,
In fact all through the hard times there
has been plenty for women to do. Men
do not find work SO readily and are drift
ing about much more than women. so
that 1t is of little use keeping a registra-
ton book for names and actresses. There
Is one in the office. however. and both
men and women make use of It.
