The Kansas Seal Question.
ON the Norfolk Landmark

That mGn who had Sixteen to One in
scr1bed on his gravestone would rejoice, II
he were alive, at the heroic action of the
populist officials of Kansas, who have in
dignantly discarded the vile and suggestive
gold seals heretofore employed on public
documents and have substituted therefor a
silver seal with gilded ribbon, whose area
bears the same ratio to the area of the seal
as bears to 10. Truly, a happy conceit,

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing, Hopkins a Co.'s Review OF
Trade.

Downing, Hopkins a. Co.'s Review of
Trade.
The wheat market has settled down
into enc Of a holiday character. and
sentiment which frequently dominates
prices is largely bearish. Most of the
pit traders have become convinced that
every time the price for May gets
above SOC 1t is safe sale for scalp,
and when it breaks below that figure
1t ls purchase for 15c to 10 advance
The inability Of the bulls to main
tain the advantage with the news gen.
orally in their favor has made traders
rather skeptical as TO the prospects OF
material advance before the close of
the year, and there has been general
taking Of profits by small holders,
while few of the large ones have
either been out of the market entirely
or are trading in small lines. The
market is without leaders on either
side, and the trade is drifting with the
idea that there can be no permanent
good in the market until after the
holidays. The Argentine situation is
as much Of 2 puzzle as ever. Supplies
in this country are decreasing, and the
flour tarde is irregular.
The Northwestern mills report
large Western demand, and Pillsbury
announces that they will grind ON an
average of $1,000 barrels per day for
some time.
The market is in position where
buying is more essential to steady
prices than an abundance of bull news
The trade has tired Of the com bined
rehash of the reports about small re-
ceipts, the probable scarcity of supplies,
the dependence of European countries
upon America, and the continued talk
about wheat going to ST. Something
new Ia necessary to stimulate trade.
The situation is all right but more
speculation is necessary. The short
interest. although the largest in sixty
days, is easily scared, and an advance
of few cents drives most of them in.
The bulls on the whole have also grown
more timid. and decline of 80 shakes
out those who buy whenever the mar
ket gets strong. At present there is
little in the market except scalp.

Mind and Health.

The mental condition has far more
influence upon the bodily health than
is generally supposed. 1t Is no doubt
true that ailments of the body cause
depressing and morbid conditions Of
the mind, but 1t is no less true thai
sorrowful and dlsagreeable emotions
produce disease in persons who, unin-
huenced by them, would be In sound
health; or, if disease is not produced,
the functions are disordered.
Agreeable emotions set in motion
nervous currents which stimulate
blood, brain, and every part of the sys-
tenn into healthful activity; while
grief, disappointment of feeling, and
brooding over present sorrows or past
mistakes depress all the vital forces.
To be physically well one must, in gen
eral, be happy. The reverse is not al
ways true; one may be happy and
cheerful, and yet be constant sufferer
