Next Monday is st. Valentine day,

Next Monday is st. Valentine day,
which gives occasion for transmls-
sion of all kinds ofsentiments. The
comics catch several kind. Some
times their hideous pictures and low
verse represent spirit OF fun in a
friend picking out some little char-
arteristic of another, which a picture
exaggerates ont of all proportion OF
truth: again, may be seen the sentl-
ment born OF the "green-eyed mon
ster"-envy aud jealousy, which some
good people now and then unwlsely
permit to creep into their hearts, oc-
cassioned by some urittiing affair
that thew themselves would not
speak directly about TO a friend, or
acquaintance who really enterta'ns
respect and kindly thoughts OF them,
Little differences, OF no comparative
consequence in this grand drama OF
/ life, often occur between acqualnt-
ances. To brood over them causes
ill thoughts and i'll words. Pass
them gently by. And those little
fairy-like chilly dews" that young
folks send to each other. They mean
good thoughts at least, sometimes
more. At any rate st. Valentine
has it's interest for old and young.

forces. Even the. rather meager details of
the affair and the counter claims coming
through Spanish sources did not greatly dis
turb this conviction.
1t Is not entirely sentimental result that
prices Of stocks should rise upon news of a
naval victory, for dealers in stocks take the
practical view that it insures an early termi..

commerce and industry. Prices bounded up

veloped together with the buoyant tone the

very much mixed, many important stocks

is held very firmly in the West but there
are now few buyers who expect the West

are deferrng action in anticipation OF this.
The sales of the week in Boston amount to
100000 lbs domestic, and $4,000 lbs foreign,
600 lbs for the previous week, and 4,7S2,00

SHARP SLUMP IN WHEAT.

There was no definite reason for a show of
strength in wheat that was displayed at the
opening. But scalpers seemed to regard a
reaction as due after the severe slump of
yesterday, and for while there was a mod
crate demand on this theory. The news of
the day proved SO intensely bearish, how
ever, that buyers drew out, and as soon as
the demand was checked, holders of long

became aggressive sellers and it was not
