Secretary Nagel Makes Changes.

Washington, D. c., July 12.-The
greatest "shake-up" that ever has oc-
Cured in the personnel Of the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor
took place to-day when approximate
ly one hundred employees were re-
duced and the designations of about
ten others accepted.
This action was taken by Secretary
Nagel as the result Of an investiga-
ton into the efficiency record" of
the employees in his department.
Further reductions are to be made
and designations asked for, it was
lntimated to-day.
AS result of reports made to Sec
rotary Nagel by his bureau chiefs 1t
was found that about 9 or 10 per
cent of the clerks were found to be
deficient to greater or lesser ex-
tent. A strange feature of the mat
ter is that since the reports were
made the efficiency record of the en-
ployes in the department has In
creased about 80 per cent.

Last months merchandise exports have been two or three times exceeded at this or other seasons of the year; and but for the very high prices at which cotton is now being exported the November merchandise exports would have made a much more unfa- vorable comparison.
 Imports, however have become of unprecedented volume. They were last month over $20.000.000 above the high est previous record of the season. and some $7,000, 900 above the highest pre- vious monthly record of any season The usual tendency of the import trade volume Is to increase through the winter months and culminate in March with the highest figures of the year. If this Is to be the present ex- perience. the actual balance of trade will have become heavily against the country by next spring and will in volve a large export of gold Not withstanding the fact that the tariff has been left by the recent revision at about as high an average level as be- fore, the flood of foreign goods pour ing in over it Is the largest ever known.
 These high commodity prices which so agitate the country have evidently been carried too fast and too far above the European level plus the tariff protection. Thus the American market has become lmore attractive than ever to foreign producers and they are taking large advantage of the situation. The necessary result of these trade tendencies, if they persist, will be such hardening of the Amer ican money market through gold ex- ports as to force commodity prices back into greater harmony with the European price level. A situation is presented calling for more conserva- tism in estimating the commercial possibilities of the future-Spring- field Republican.

NORWALk BANKS.
Assessors Decide to Tax Their Prop
 ertY. Increasing List $55, 1000.

The assessors of the city of Norwalk increased the city grand list upwards of S55000 this week, when upon the advice of Corporation Counsel John J, Walsh to the effect that the national and savings banks were not exempt from taxes to the town and city they added the values of all the banks In the city to the full amount sworn to In their statements to the comptroller of currency at Washington, D. c.
 In the statement made by the Ma tional Bank of Norwalk to the comp troller, as required by law, it was sworn that the bank building, furni- ture and fixtures were worth $3S,4O0 and the assessors find that on the city lists the banks have exempted the DOT ton of the banks used for banking purposes and the bank property only appears for small sums.
 In the statement made by the Fair field County National bank the build ing was valued at $17,0O0 for each side of the bank building, making it's valu- ation S34,000 in all. On the city list taxes have been paid for years on only |S4O0O for each side. The rest of the building was thought to be exempt.
 The Central National bank does not own it's building and it's taxes have been paid by the Byingtons, owners of the building where it is located.
 Believing that something was radi- cally wrong, the assessors went to Cor poration Counsel John J. Walsh to find out whether or not banking property was liable to taxation in city and town.
 MT. Walsh gave his opinion that it was.

Rabbits and Partridnes.

The fish and game commissioners call attention to the fact that all hunt CTS licenses will expire Jan. 1. This uniform expiration is provided for in the act passed at the last session of the general assembly. The law does not go off on rabbits until Jan. 15, so that hunters who wish to hunt bunny must take out new license. This new license will cover the entire year of 1910. It is almost too soon yet to say whether the experiment of importing the Hungarian partridge into this state is success Many of the birds have become acclimated and have bred. They will be protected until the season of 1910. They will have had two years protection, but in the opinion of hunt CTS this time is not long enough. In some states the birds have been pro- tected for ten years and this period has been considered necessary to give them a chance to propagate.

LoEB's TRIP TO WASHINGTON.
Collector Says There is Nothing Sen
 sationaI in 1t.

Washington, Dec. TIT have no news to tell you,"s said Mr. Loeb, col lector of the port of New York, who is spending the day in Washington. There is absolutely nothing sensation al in my visit, and I cannot talk about the proceedings touching the sugar investigations now under way in New York"
 ? MT. Loeb said he was looking for the arrival almost any day of the first of the automatic scales which 1t is pro posed to place on the docks at New York for sugar weighing purposes. This will be thoroughly tested and, if found satisfactory, twenty of the scales will be installed. Good results are Sex- pected from their introduction, as they eliminate the human element largely in the determination of weights.
 The question of whether any of the independent refining companies other than those with which the government has been conducting negotiations for a settlement has profited by the short weighing of sugar, Mir. Loeb said, was still being investigated.
 When asked whether any further changes in the customs house force were contemplated, MT Loeb replied in the negative, the exceptions being only those of a routine character oc- curing from time to time.
 The collector spent almost the entire day in conferences with Secretary Mac Veagh and his assistants.

MUSICAL JIMMY IN POCKET.
Passing Detective Recognized tho
 Notes of the Instrument.

New York, Dec. 17.-Detective Up- toms musical ear assisted him in mak- ing an arrest in West Third street last night. He heard familiar sound come from the overcoat pocket of a youth and recognized the pitch of jimmy. having had occasion to use such an instrument in place of tuning fork. So he laid hand upon the youths shoulder.
 As Upton had guessed, there was a jimmy in the pocket. But that was not all. Upton was in the neighbor- hood to keep an eye on anyone who might enter the loft building at No. 83 West Third street, as a paddock had been removed from a door on the fourth floor, where was stored $500 worth of hats and caps. In the boy s overcoat pocket, rattling against a jimmy, he found paddock, too.
 Come with me-" said the detective, and he led the boy back to the loft. Then he took him to police headquar- ters. The boy gave his name as An tonic Castrillo, IS years old. He was arraigned in the Jefferson Market po- lice court on a charge of attempted burglary, and Magistrate Barlow held him for examination tomorrow.
