Stop! Women,

And consider that in addressing Mrs. Pinkham you are confiding your private ills to a woman-a woman whose ex- perience in treating woman's diseases is greater than that of any living phy- sician, male or female.
 You can talk freely to woman when 1t is revolting to relate your private troubles to 8 man; besides, man does not understand, simply because he is 8 man.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, Nov. 14.-Opening trades in Wheat showed an advance of about 1kc for both December and May. December, which closed Saturday at 657sc. started to-day at 662s 96615c while May opened at 661q66ssc. These prices prevailed for some little time. Nearly 200 900 bushels of Wheat taken here for export late Saturday, and as an additional 40,- 900 bushels reported sold early to-day for the same purpose, the fact that contract stocks here were less than 700, coo bushels made local shorts, especially in December. rather anxious, and trading which for some time has been ex- ceedngiy dull, became very active in conse- quence. To add to the uneasiness there was continued talk to the effect that December had been considerably oversold at the seaboard. with of possible squeeze Liverpool was strong and up B@1Ad. and this had some had it not been that Liverpool was almost alone in the foreign strength:
 The visible increase was 2,184, 900 bushels, and this was a factor in the reaction that took place after the first hours trading. There was a good deal of realizing on Wheat owing to the profits and holders of calls sold against them. This relieved the pressure, May easing off to 66Ac and December to the same price, The latter month too much in demand for any permanent downward movement, however. Re- newed buying by anxious shorts soon started the price toward a higher level and for a time December sold at asQ19c premium over May. The market became very strong toward the close. December gained asqlc ana May rose
 Corn was slow with narrow range of prices and closed with but little change The market was barely steady considering the high cables, the strength of Wheat and good export de- nIand
 Oats were firm at a little over Saturday S igures. The market was quite dull most of the time, though there was some influential selling which well taken of. Cash demand was good. The strength of Wheat was the main factor.
 Provisions were dull and heavy. Both cash and speculative demands were limited, and as there was some selling pressure, chiefly from packers, prices yielded little. Hog prices were lower. At the close January pork was Sc lower. January lard 711c lower and January ribs sc lower.
 The leading futures ranged as follows:

EASTERN MARKETS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-The stock market has recently emancipated itself in large degree from the influence of Sugar, Tobacco and like uncertain quantities, but the violent gyrations of Sugar in to-day's market could not but have a rather unsettling effect Quotations were all most lost at the sugar post at the opening, and were recorded all the way from 125 down to 124 Before noon the price was quoted at 119 and again before the close it went back to 124. The early decline was based on the fall in the loan ing rate, which was taken to indicate the con clusion of the squeeze against the shorts and the subsequent recovery came with the an nouncement of the advance in the price of the product by the companies alleged to be en- gagged in a trade of extermination. The enormous volume of the transactions in this speciality gave it necsssarily some sympathetic influence on the general list. The opening quo- lotion for Atchison preferred also ran all the way from 4 to 42 on the simultaneous sales Of $500 shares. The high price proved too much to sustain, and 1t ran off in the first hour, car rying the whole railroad list with It. Atchison preferred more than recovered later in the day and sold high z21. The adjustment bonds were also in heavy demand and rose at showed a tendency to drag and recent leaders mark win Iffficntv in sntte oS tba ad9itiagSaI advantage of some very striking gains in usually inactive stocks Finding the difficulty of moving the recent leaders, speculation show stocks.
