The Financier's Statement.

New York, Oct. 26.-The Financier says:
 It is notworthy that since September 20 the subtrea sury has absorbed from the banks through the fiscal operations of the government $16, ,276, 40e. and moreover these operations last week resulted in a greater drain frem the banks than for any week since the above date. It would seem likely that this drain will continue important at least for the remainder of the year The effect of these withdraw als from the treasury by the banks will to some extent be enumerated in the near future by payments for gold re- ceived at Pacific coast points, of which gold there is now about s4 .500. .0o0 on de- posit awaiting transfer. There appears, however, to be a prospect for the ship ment of gold to Europe in order to re- lieve the monetary tension in London. and on the continent. which shipment may have decided influence on bank re- serves, tending to absorb the new sup plies of gold noted above The surplus reserve is now about $, 900, 900 higher than 1t was a year ago, and some good judges of the situation feel convinced that the movement of money to the west for crop purposes is nearly ended. How much will yet be required for cotton 1t is difficult to say, but it would seem probable that the export movement of the staple will hereafter be free thus tending to lessen demands for money for carrying. With the drain hence of money for crop pur- poses reduced to a minimum the only menace to the surplus reserve will be the fiscal operations of the government and the movement of gold to Europe.

New York Coffee and Sugar.

New York, Oct 6-The market for coffee futures opened unchanged to 5 points higher on light room and outside buying. The influences at work as a rule favored a slightly lower range of values, Brazilian receipts being full. the Ham burg market being lower and public spe- culation being relatively smaller than at any time during the week. But shorts were far from satisfied as to the security of their position while the bull clique once more came to the front and bid prices up 10 to 15 points additional within rise rise f'i of 1h % to 1s % francs % in % Hayre % were the basis of the future buying by bull interests. At the close the market was steady and net 5 points higher.

Chicago Grain and Provisions

Chicago, Oct. 26-A disposition on the part of holders of long wheat to sell eased grains on theusual dull Saturday market and December wheat closed lac lower, December corn hc higher and De- cember oats ssc up. Provisions closed 21a Csc lower Wheat experienced dull market with lower tendencies. Trade for the most part was local and longs were inclined to let go of their holdings and settle up deals over Sunday. Unrespons- i've cables started the selling, December opening a shade to 1s9Ac lower, at n9s@ 71h. Drought news still continued to ar rive from Argentina, but with no re- sponse at Liverpool, this had little ef- feet here. Opposed against this slight bullish factor was the news of relief from the drought in the Southwest and the in- formation that as soon as the flax crops were out of the way the Northwestern movement would begin again To this was added proof in the way to increased Northwestern receipts today. On these conditions December sagged off to 71h. helped by heavy liquidation by one or two prominent local bulls. Near the end of the short session, however, news of shipments for Russian ports brought reaction and shorts covering brought December back to its higher opening price, closing easy 1sc lower at 71h@71ss. Local receipts were 14 cars, one of con tract grade. Minneapolis and Duluth re- ceived S29 cars, making total for the three points of 933 cars against 11S last week and 643 year ago. Primary re- ceipts were 1,075 GOO bushels this day, last year was a holiday Seaboard clearances in wheat and flour were 3S1, 600 bushels Australian shipments this week were l76,- 600 bushels, compared with S04, 900 bushels a year ago
 Trade in the corn pit was narrow and rather quiet. Early cables might have had an upward effect had 1t not been for the easier feeling in wheat. De- cember opened unchanged and despite the fact that wheat liquidation depressed it to 569sc there was still general firm feeling underlying the market In the main the pit fiutuated in sympathy with corn throughout the session, and when the small upturn came late in the outer pit December took a strong turn and closed firm 1sc up at 57c. Receipts were III cars.
 Oats had the best market of the day. though it was quiet. It showed inde- pendence of the other grains under the influence of an improving cash situation. Shippers also reported an increasing de- mand for the eastern and southeastern account and December. which opened un- changed advanced steady and closed firm ssc higher at 361ac. Receipts were ls1 cars.
 Provisions were almost dead, there be- ing only enough business to establish quo tations. Prices were slightly lower at the opening on lower hog market and January pork closed 21ac down at 15.121a; January lard 5c lower at S.S7Ih and Janu- arY ribs 2hc lower at 7.S2h. Estimated receipts for Monday: Wheat 145 cars; corn li0; oats 145; hogs 31 900 head.

 A horse attached to a coal wagon belonging to Frank Miller & Co fur nished little sport this morning. The horse refused to pull half ton of coal and q dollars worth of wood up Wash ington avenue as far as Bank street. The horse had almost reached the de- sired goal when it became obstinate and backed down again. Both the horse and the driver were in danger of being seriously injured once or twice. At one time the horse backed the wagon onto the sidewalk and into the fence of Mrs Ramon, smashing a part of the fence. Another time the horse had one of its forelegs over a shaft and in that position came half way down Washington avenue. For tunately it was not injured. After many unsuccessful attempts the teams ter had to drive up Bank street, up Porter street and down Washington avenue to his destination.

DUCK HAWKS STRATEGY.

It is exciting to watch the duck hawk In pursuit of his prey. Given an open field with the quarry, it is aston ishing to witness the exhibition of speed by tIese thoroughbred racers. The hawk will often overtake and strike duck in the air, though he seems to prefer to single out one from some flock, and, if possible, force him to dive. As the duck comes to the surface to breathe. the hawk is at hand, and down goes the duck once more. This is repeated until the poor duck is almost exhausted; and when the duck pauses a second too long at the surface the hawk pounces and the duck is secured.
 There is wonderful sagacity shown by these birds in forcing q diving duck away from the reeds into open water. They seem 10th to exert themselves sufficiently to capture their game OH the wing, but will dog him." as it were, from the shallows to deep water, where ill sheer desperation the victim dives, fancying that one or two long reaches under water will bring him within the shelter of the reeds. Sel- dom, however, is he successful in the attempt; fear and exhaustion generally end the matter as the hawk wishes.
 A great many ducks crippled by gun ners will make for the marshes, where they hide; and sometimes, if fortunate and not too severely wounded, they will recover. But even here they are not safe; the proving fox or mink will strike their trail among the sedge and often catch them when they ven- ture too near the shore.
 Out in the deeper part of the marsh ducks must exercise the greatest cau- ion when feeding; for when the dusk of evening settles down on lake and fen, and the mystery of the twilight reigns a most dangerous foe-the "still hunting owP-comes from the dark ening woods, and on silent wing the great bird quarters the marsh back ward and forward with the thorough ness of well trained hound. Still hunting is the high art of sport, and the big owls are experts in their way. St Nicholas.

BUREAU A SUCCESS
New Employment Offices Run by State
 Prove Successful

Prove Successful.
 The law establishing free public em- ployment bureaus in Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport, Norwich and Wa terbury, became operative on July 1, 1901 Immediately upon the act talk ing effect. the commissioner of the bu- reau of labor statistics, in whose charge the five free employment of fees are placed by statute, secured quarters adapted for the purpose, fur nished them neatly but not elaborately, and placed them in charge of compe- tent superintendents, and their exper- fence has shown that the failure to ob- tain work in many instances was not due entirely to lack of demand for labor as much as the absence of all public connection between those in search of employment and those need ing the services of others. This the free employment offices supply.
 Section 3 of the act provides that no person shall open, keep or carry on n private employment agency for hire, or where a fee is charged for either ap- plicants for employment or for help, without first having obtained a license from the commissioner of the bureau of labor statistics. A license fee of $10 is required, together with bond of $500. Since the law became oper- ative thirty persons have been granted licenses as follows: Eight in Hart ford. five in New Haven. four in each of the cities of Bridgeport and Water bury, three in each of the cities of Mer- iden and Stamford. one each in Nor wich, New London and Bristol.
