That depends upon the
Liver. If the Liver is
inactive the whole sys-
tenn is out Of order-the
breath is bad, digestion
poor, head dull or aching,
energy and hopefulness
gone, the spirit is de-
pressed, a heavy weight
exists after eating, with
general dependency and
the blues. The Liver is
the housekeeper of the
health; and a harmless,
simple remedy that acts
like Nature, does not
constipate afterwards or

than temporary relief, but the Regulator

The wheat market for futures was
dull, with only light local and very
little outside trade. Foreign markets
were firm. Some bad reports were re-
celVed from the Northwest, but did not
stimulate buying to any appreciable ex4
tent. Early in the day an advance OF
&c over yesterdays close was recorded.
Later thls1WaS lost and little moro

Bran and Shorts-The market for
these commodities is somewhat excited
because of unusual inquiries from

is short as to its fodder crop, and from
late reports the situation is truly
alarming. 1t was reported today
that millerS had contracted for months

hardly quotable. but 75c TO 81 per ton
advance over quotations has undoubt-'

KANSAS CITY, Mo-. j uly 1.-THE Ma
tionaI Bank of Kansas City suspended
payment at 2:55 o'clock this afternoon,
and is now in the hands of the comp
troller of the currency.
The assets, President J. S. Chick said
this afternoon. would be between s., OOO,-
600 and S3,000,000. and the liabilities be-
tween 100000 and S1,00O.OOO. He is con-
fident that the depositors will be paid
dollar for dollar.
President Chick said that the suspen-
sion was due to the steady withdrawal
OF deposits since the beginning of the
financial Stringency.
I'VE began to lose deposits early in
May" he said. 1.-The demand on us
went along until the failure of the saw
ingS bank last Tuesday. and every day
since then the Withdrawals of individual
ana of bank deposits have been heavier.
We thought we could get through to.
day, but we were forced to quit lust
five minutes before the usual time. A
few minutes before we closed we re-
ceived demands for $4,000 by telegraph.
We saw we could not stand another
days run, and there was only one thing
left for US to do and we did it.
Last night we asked the clearing
house for help. and that fact was tele-
graphed to creditors and deposltors out
of town, and caused the run to be
heavier. We asked for ample aid from
the clearing house, and this morning we
received $4,000. The orders for cur
rency came in so heavily, however, that
we could not nnssibly fill them"
II do rot e low the depositors can
lose penn!.' continued Mr.. Chick.
Our deposits at one time were about
S4,000,000, but they have been drawn
down so that they are now between
SS00,000 and S1,C00,00O. | cannot tell
what our assets are exactly, but they are
between 100000 and S3,0OO,OOO. they

Important Customs Decision.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE treasury
department, through Acting Secretary
Hamlin, has made an important deciS-
ion in determining to enforce the pro-
visions of section of the customs ad-
ministrative act of June 10, 1890, which
provides that if the appraised value of
goods should exceed the value declared
in the entry more than 40 per cent the
entry may be held to be presumptively
fraudulent. and the collector may seize
the merchandise. The section has been
practically a dead letter, goods seized
being released without payment of pen
alties. Acting Secretary Hamlin re-
Gently decided to have the law enforced,
and he therefore sent letter to the COL
lector of customs at New York denying
a request for release of certain goods,
its substance being contained in the con-
Guiding paragraph, as follows:
1T is possible that the extension of
Ieniency TO cases of this kind has grown
into a practice which is prejudicial to
the interests of the government, and
inconsistent with the terms of the law.
The department declines to approve
your recommendation for the release of
the merchandise included in the seizure
to, except on payment of the
duties which have accrued under the
law. 1t may be added that the depart
ment intends to hereafter hold import.
