FINANCE AND TRADE
Another UnfdVOrdble Bank
Statement.
BuI The Country is Making No Com
II,int - -SpeCuIsforS arc Merely
Having a Financial Headache AT.
ter a Financial Dissipation.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE prospects
of an unfavorable bank statement over
shadowed all other considerations in
today's stock market, save one-the
Manhattan quarterly statement. That
the bank statement would emphasize
the unsatisfactory features of last
week was generally conceded, but the
debated point was as to how far the
liquidation Of the last two days had
discounted the showing. The difference
of opinion on this point tended toward
an irregular professional market, in
which the covering of short contracts
served to hold prices.
Buying of securities by London and
Chicago was of sufficient volume to
attract favorable comment. The lat
ter demand was thought to reflect the
end of the vests needs for money and
to foreshadow a return of its surplus
to this center. Offers to lend money
were made by Chicago brokers and
some relief was predicted from such
operations. 1t may be significant to
note that the money offered by the
west is a loan in the strictest sense.
The funds are not to come in on de-
posit under the per cent interest rate,
but they come in at market rates for
money and under the usual limitations
of a loan. The per cent rate on
Ho nl,o
collections made for the account, is not
sufficiently attractive i1 its net results
to attract money from prosperous bus
mess centers. New York has, sooner
or later. to come to better recognition
of the fact that the reign of its finan
cial dictatorship is waning.
Other cities must be taken into con-
sideration if not into confidence. Nearby
New Jersey banks and the non-member
local institutions afford ample facilities
for collection purposes.
While mercantile prosperity ~,ontin-
ues the larger cities can get more than
per cent on their surplus funds.
When money begins to return to New
York the conditions may not be just
what they have been in former years.
1t may mean that New York is bor-
rowing in competition with the busi-
ness world generally or it may mean
that manufacturers can no longer use
their money to advantage and are
sending it in to get the mite offered by
the average bank.
The country is making no complaint,
the government is conscious of no
stringency except in New York and
consequently government relief is not
considered necessary. If it should be,
however, there is the comforting assur-
ance that it is available. At present a
reduction of loans seems to be certain
as the rational means of Strengthening
resources. Overindulgence on the part
of the banks and overtrading on the
part of the borrower are about equally
responsible for the present condition.
The remedy is not pleasant, but there
is always the certainty that at some
stage of the disease it must be applied.

REDUCING CENSUS FORCE
Director Merriam Says That u Is
Eni:r Iy Too Large Now

Washington, Nov. 17.-There was
considerable uneasiness among the
clerks in the census office today over a
rumor that Director Merriam was
about to furlough twenty-five of them.
The rumor evidently started in the
order of the director to the appoint
ment clerk to furnish Immediately Il
list of all clerks, according to divisions,
with recommendations for furloughing
those whose services were not abso-
lutely necessary at this time.
1t is well known that the office is
Overcrowded and that many clerks
could well be dispensed with without
embarrassing the work.
Today Director Merriam acknowl-
edged he was considering the advisa-
bility of reducing the force. 1t was
altogether too large for the work in
hand. He said that he appreciated the
fact that n furlough meant serious
consequences to many, and he was en-
deavoring to find a way out of the diff
Guilty.
Notwithstanding the present condi-
tions there is unusual pressure upon
the director for positions. The poll
ticians do not seem to realize that the
work of taking the census has not yet
begun and that no considerable force
of clerks is required at present. Di-
rector Merriam stated today that there
would absolutely be no more appoint
mentS until after the new year

GOVERNOR OF CUBA
Havana Papers Guessing on
the Appointment.
Some OF the GueSserS Take a Chance
on George francis Train and
Anthony COmSfoCk Governor
Generals Proclamation.

Havana, Nov. 1.-THE newspapers of
this city comment in various ways on
the numerous cable dispatches that
have been received in Havana regard
ing the appointment of a civil gov
ernor for the island. In these dis
patches the names of every American
general in the island, as we'll as Direc-
tor of Posts Rathbone and Robert P.
Porter, have been mentioned for the
place.
A cable dispatch to the Heraldo from
Washington says: "Close friends of
the president declare that the only
man who will be considered if General
Brooke is relieved is General Chaffee,
who on account of his intimate knowl-
edge of Cuban affairs could carry on
the policy so successfully pursued by
the present governor general"
A special dispatch to La Lucha from
candidates for governor. The names of
George Francis Train and Anthony
ComstOck are among those mention
ed. In the same issue of La Lucha
there is one dispatch which says that
General Leonard Wood, the governor
of Santiago province, is practically ap
pointed, and another one stating that
Assistant Secretary of War Meikle-
john is to be the new governor. The
English edition of La Lucha favors
the appointment of Mr.. Rathbone, the
director of posts.
Most of the newspapers agree that
these persistent rumors should either
be officially confirmed or denied, on
account of the feeling of unrest which
they cause on the island.
Governor General Brooke has issued
his Thanksgiving proclamation He
says he believes that no people in the
world have more to be thankful for or
greater opportunities ahead of them
than the inhabitants of Cuba. There
fore he deems it proper to call their at
tention to a realization of the situation.
The holiday will be observed on the
same day as in the United States.
General Nunez, the new civil gov
ernor of Havana, and General Mayia
Rodriguez had a conference with Gov
ernor General Brooke today. They
wanted him to order some official to
hand over 5000 to every Cuban who was
incapacitated by the war.
Secretary Capote has presented a
new scheme to General Brooke for the
regulation of immigration. The idea
originated with Cuban lawyer of the
name of Alfonso. 1t provides first, that
no Cinnamon, Arabs, Turks of Syrians
shall be allowed to land on the island.
In the second place, no person of any
nationality will be allowed to land un-
less he has at least $50. Finally, all
immigrants will have to be examined
by physicians. If they are found to
be physically unsound they will not
be allowed to land.

LADYsMITH EMBRACED.

Pretoria, Nov. 1.-THE following dis
patch has been received from the Boer
camp at Glands Laagte: ''Ladysmith
has been completely encircled by Boer
forces. Our second big gun was sue
cessfully placed in position on Buluwan
hill in front of Ladysmith. The firing
of heavy guns commenced early this
morning with no casualties to the

heavy fire with big guns and continu-
ously dropped shells into the works

The Beers Engaged in Another
Strategic Movement.
PLANNING ANOTHER DUNDEE

beris Command 10 Head OFF the
British Advance TO The Relief of
LadVsmi,h "A Prediction That
There Will Be no Boer Defeat
THIS Year.

London, Nov. 1S.-(5 a. m.)-The alb
sence of news of any serious movement
against Ladysmith seems to show that
the Beers are repeating the strategy
adopted by them at Dundee when they
effect a surrounding movement. This
seems to have been their object regard
ing Estcourt, and since it is impossible
that relief should reach there for some
days to come, it is not unlikely that
a further retiring movement on the
Mooi river will be made.
a dispatch from Lourenzo Marquee
says: "A Pretoria newspaper an
nounced last Wednesday that 1000
burghers had left General Joubert's
force around Ladysmith to join Com
mandant Bothas force near Estcourt.
with n view of assisting to intercept
the British advance to the relief of
Ladysmith. General Lucas Meyer, the
Free State commander. has asserted in
convinced that the battle of Glands
Laagte will be the first and last Boer
defeat of the year"
The admiralty announced this even
ing the arrival at Cape Town today of
the troopship ArcaHa, with a battalion
of the Argyll and Sutherland High
landers (the Princess Louise regi-
menD. bringing the reinforcements up
to 23,5OO, of which 1890 have already
disembarked at Durham with eighteen
field guns, a number of machine guns,
engineers and hospital troops, as well
as 1000 mules. This force with that
already between Estcourt and Durham,
is considered sufficient to enable Cen
eraI Hildyard to advance and to take
the aggressive against the Beers south
of Ladysmith.
According to the latest advices Lady
smith is holding out satisfactorily,
everything being well up to Wednes-
day. In view of the Beers destruction
of bridges. the war Office has issued
orders for the shipment of quantity
of bridge work between this and the
end of the year.

has purchased the Creusot guns or

AN UNEXProIEU SUMMONS.
,Iexander Harrs- Expires Without a
Moments Warning.

Alexander Mars, father of tie
editor of this paper, died very
suddenly Saturday morning, at his
home in the northeast part of this
city. For some days previous be
had been ailing but last night was
so much better that he told his
little grand son it was unnecessary
for him TO stay with them, as he
had been doing for some nights.
About II o'clock he had a rather
bad spell, but no one was sent for,
and at ) o'clock, while sitting on
the edge of the bed, he expired
without a moments admonition
For some five years past, during
his residence here, Mr.. arrs had
had a spell of fever during each
winter, and complained of trouble
in his chest, and 1t is inferred that
the cause of his death was heart
allure. Mr. Marrs was II years
of age and his wife is one year
younger. He was born in St.
Francis county, Arkansas, and
came with the Cherokees to
Dwight mission, where he attend
ed school when the Rev. Mr..
WashbOurne was a teacher and
preacher, Mrs Gunter, IB. Hitch
cock and others also being pupils.
From this nation ne went to
Washington county, Arkansas,
which was his home until he came
to Vinita five years ago. During
the war the deceased was a con.
federate soldier, serving in Gen.
Prices army. The funeral servi-
ces were conducted a, the late
residence Sunday afternoon at ,
o'clock.
