Are you pleased with the appearance
Of pink rubber gum? Do you feel salts
fed with the gum section teeth where
the joints show? Continuous gum work
or an all porcelain plate overcomes this
unnatural appearance Of the gum. The
porcelain plate is the hest made for the
following reasons: 1t can be made to
look natural even if the gum shows; the
entire plate is one piece Of porcelain; is
clean and agreeable to the mouth, and
is equal in strength to any plate made.

NEW YORK. Dec 17.-This was 4 day
OF broad speculation and active price
movements on the stock exchange. Not
since the election has the volume OF busi-
ness for the first hour approached the
trading of today when the sales for sixty
minutes considerably exceeded 100000
shares The tendency of prices was up
ward, and some of the advances were vio-
lent.
Opening gains of one point were general
throughout almost the entire list. Profit
taking on heavy scale was met by a
power OF absorption that was the most re-
markable factor in the market. 1t was
natural to expect reaction from the high
figures OF the morning, and at noon top
prices were in most instances shaded but
the buying continued to be of most sub
stantial character. There was an absence
Of particular news bearing on the market
over Sunday Everything was tranquil,
however. and as the present price move
ment is the logical Outcome of economic
coalitions, the absence Of excitement was
gratifying.
Although money was quoted at per
cent that fact was in no sense disturb
ing influence. 1t was contended that it
would create no concern this week, and
the prospects favor easier rates during the
last week of the year London was a very
hesvy trader. ana probably bought 1900
shares on balance. The buying of South
ern Pacific for this account was a note
worthy feature. 1t is the prevailing belief
that many thousand shares must be bought
by London before the next settlement, and
this>morning arbi;rdge houses experienced
difficulty in keeping pace with their or
ders.
Clearer ideas regarding the monetary
outlook were responsible for the feeling
that today's rate is not likely 10 be ad-
vaneed The improvement was most pro-
nouLced in the railway stocks, and the
leaders in that quarter were the Erie is
sues. which scored record prices and the
largest advances they have experienced
since the reorganization. Southern Rail-
way preferred and common shares were
also cJnspicuously strong, together with
fhe grangers. led by st. Paul. Good buy
ing was noted in the Vanderbilts. although
the price movements in that group were
small by comparison.
Or Thursday the New York Central divi-
dend viii be acted on. and the same time
the dividends en- the other Vanderbilts will
be declared. This led to the opinion voiced
throughout the street that the Wander
bilts are shortly to enjoy a more promi-
nent part in the dealings.
Among the speeialties which advanced
sharply were Brooklyn Rapid Transit,
Western Union, and some OF the minor
stocks. American Tin Plate and Amalga-
mated Copper were the features among
the iaGFstrials. The iron and steel stocks
did nbt play as prominent a part as usual
in the days dealings. and were the only
lasgatds in a market that in some re-
spects was one of the most remarkable OF
the year
In the early afternoon trading Brooklyn
Rapid Transit scored further sharp ad-
vance. and the other fractions were SYM
pathetically strong. The coal stocks, with
the Ere maintaining the lead, were also
higher, ard the copper shares advanced
on improving trade conditions.

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
A Rally in Wheat, With Corn Active
and FIuctuating.

CHICAGO, Dec. 17.-Wheat opened 1-2c
lower on 3-sd decline at Liverpool,
large world shipments. S,50O,O00 bushels,
and an increase afioat OF, 2, $4,000 bushels
After opening sales offerings turned light
and the market steadied and rallied on
the decrease of 1000 bushels in the
visible supply and the strong corn market
Paris was unchanged. Antwerp 8 5-Sc
higher. The primary receipts were heavy,
being 1,l29 900 bushels against 6e5, 600
bushels last year. There was nothing
done in the cash line here. Seaboard
reports twenty-seven loads. The senti-
ment OF the local traders continued to
lean 10 the long side in anticipation of a
decided falling off in receipts.
Corn was active, selling off early on the
local professional pressure. Later in the
day shorts in December corn became an4
ious and advanced the price 2 l2 cents
per busneI. January showed an advance
Of rs cents on buying by shorts and
leading elevator interest. Many shorts
were naturally alarmed and covered ad-
vabeIng the price 1-2c. There is liberal
short interest in the May for local pro-
fessional account The weather was in
favor of the market Shippers report a
good cash demand for corn. Local stocks
decreased 133, 600 bushels for the week and
the visible decreased 624,000 bushels. To-
days carlots 547. with 775 for tomorrow.
Local bears sold May oats down to
% I-2. but at that price the market met
free buying orders. The market reacted
in sympathy with corn. Export clearances
were large. $50 600 bushels. The cash de-
mand is reported good. Local stocks de-
creased 50 600 bushels. Today's receipts
26i. with $50 for tomorrow.
N
visions. December lard showed the most
weakness on selling by packers. The offer
ings OF May pork we're liberal. and the sell
ing was credited to the bull leaders, In a
general way the buying was for shorts.
The market closed steady at some re-
action. Hog receipts we're liberal. and
that market lower. The cash trade was
fair for meats. The demand for lard was
poor.
