GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO. H., Dec. 13.-Increased rural buying together with adverse weather lifted the corn market today to the highest prices yet this season. The close was unsettled 2$s to 3A net advance, with January S1.3SA to s1.3Sk and May s1.3S3s to $1.3S5s. Oats gained F to 1A. The outcome in provisions ranged from PC decline to rise of 45c.
 Sentiment in favor of the bull side of the corn market gathered force almost from the outset. Buying at first was of a scattered sort and ap- peared to be due chiefly to the fact that mild temperatures and excessive rain had made country roads diff cult for deliveries from farms, and would tend to hamper the crop move ment Reports indicating that more over the majority of producers were inclined to seek decidedly higher prices on account of the government crop figures led afterward to a broad general demand in which the country took a conspicuous part. Profit talk ing eased the market toward the last, but all offering were readily ab- sorbed.
 Oats, like corn, responded to en- larged outside buying. Exporters, though, were said to have withdrawn from the market Although weakness in the hog market had a temporary

BETTER THAN CAL0MEL
Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets are
 aHarmleSS Substitute.

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets-the subeti- tute for calomel - are mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. They are the result of Dr. Edwards determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. His efforts to banish it brought out these little olive-colored tablets.
 These pleasant little tablets do tho good that calomel does, but have no bad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calonGel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teethe Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel, but to let Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets take its place.

AS puN,s SEES IT.


 NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-Dun's to- morrow will say:
 Not without some accompanying inconvenience, but with little actual unsettlement, the country has passed through the first month of transition to a peace basis with many of the necessary changes already effected. While the process of readjustment. involving a general transformation of production and labor and process. is yet from from completed, a more natural situation is steadily return ing with the lessening or elimination of various restrictions which have prevented the development of regu- lar commerce. The ending. with the present year, of official supervision of the steel trade, except as to em- bargoes, is a further important step in the direction of restoring cOndi- tions to a pre-war footing. and leading industries are each week becoming freer from arbitrary restraints and regulations. With government work not now monopolizing supplies of raw materials and of labor in about every quarter, some private projects which have been long deferred are being started, and there is also increasing evidence of buying to replenish de- pleted stocks of merchandise.
