Chicago, Nov. 23.-Considering the light

wheat had an easier start than might
have been expected. December opened
unchanged at 6sG6sisc and May isc lower
at e7de7lsc. Covering by shorts and buy
ing to increase long lines started. and
though not at all heavy. the demand was
larger than the offerings and an advance
took place in both options. December SELL
ing to 6sssc and May to 67ssm61lzc. The
advance brought out considerable long
wheat. There was also increased liquida-
tion on account of the fiatness OF the
New York market and conflicting reports
regarding the export demand. The
result was a slow decline in May to 66R
d67c and in December to s7%dS77sc. For
some time after the market was a narrow
one. with frequent moderate changes In
values About II 20 the market firmed UP
again. seaboard receipts claiming moder-
ate acceptances of cabled offers proved
correct. Sales here for export amounted
to $50. 900 bushels. Minneapolis reported
large -four sales for export. The near ap-
proach of the close of navigation appear
ed to be in the minds Of foreign buyers.
Liverpool quotations came stronger at the
close, showing nd advance for December
and I'D for March. Late In the session
the weaker-kneed holders Of which were
unwilling to remain longer over the holi-
day put their wheat on the market. There
not being any special prices they were
forced of rather easily and closing prices
were about the lowest of the day. De-
cember closed %d%d lower and May Is
from hd%d lower.
In a general way corn followed wheat.
although there were independent features
influencing the market. May closed 20

London financial cablegram says: The
stock market here was generally firm to-

We are often asked how can the North
western Mutual Life Insurance Company
pay larger dividends than other compa-
MES, on similar policies in the same com
munity, and st'll accumulate IL larger
surplus per 81 900 insured?'
We can only give three reasons
We add the indisputable fact that we
do it.
We do pay larger dividends, hence we
do sell insurance at lower cost and we
have accumulated n larger surplus in
proportion to liabilities.
We expect to keep on doing it,
Cost depends on dividends.
Dividends depend en- savings.
Savings depend on management.
That the Northwestern does save more
for its members, does pay larger divi.
dends and does insure at lower cost
than other companies, is the indsputable
fact Of to-day.

1t may be WORTH something to know
that the very best medicine for restoring
the tired out nervous system to a healthy
vigor is Electric BiCters. This medicine
is purely vegetable, acts by giving tone to
the nerve centers in the stomach, gently
stimulates the liver and kidneys, and
aids these organs in throwing off impuri-
ties in the blood. Electric Bitters i'm
proves the appetite, aids Indigestion, and
is pronounced by those who have tried
it as the very best Flood purifier and
nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for SOC and
