THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 29, 1896. THE COMMERCIAL WORLD. OF THE SUMMARY MARKETs, Silver lower. Wheat ana Barley futures higher. Oats and Corn neglected. Rye dull. Feedstufts weak. Hay steady. No demand for Beans. Hops ruinously low. No busipess in Wool. Tams, Bacon and Lard firm. Dried Fruit and Raisins flat. Oranges rather firmer. Strawberries appeared. Potatoes and Onfons weak. tutter rapidly aeclining. Cheese steady. Eggs extremely dull. Turkeys advanced. Rhubarb lower and plentiful. Hogs firm. Other meats steady. No change in Coal. Explanation. The arrow files with the wind. The top figures at station Indicate maximum temperature for the days; those underneath it, if any, the amount of rainfall, of meited snow in inches and hundredths, during the past twelve hours. Isobars, or solid lines, connect points of equal air pressure; therms, or dotted lines, equal temperature. The word “high” means nigh barometric pressure and Is usually accompanied by fair weather; “iow” refers to low pressure, and is usually preceded and sccompanied by clondy weatherand rains. **Lows” usually first appear on the Washington coast. When the pressure is high in the interior and low along the coast, and the isobars extend north and south along the coast, rain_is probable; but when the “low’ is incldged with isobars of marked curva- ture rain south of Oregon is improbable. With a “high” in the vicinity of Idaho, and the pressure falling to the Californla coast, warmer weather may be expected in summier and colder weather in win- ter. The reverse of these conditions will produce &0 opposite result. WEATHER BUREAU R PORT. UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, WrATHER BUREAU. SAN FRANCISCO, February 28, 1585, 5 P.

Y., Feb. 28.—The stock mar- ket under the influence of higher quotations from London and the receipt of buying orders from that center, opened strong to buoyant. An advance of 14 10 7g per cent oceurred in the first transactions, but the rise was soon checked by a drop in Leather d from 62 10 5914: the stock still feeling the eftect Of the passage of thedividend. The bears then seized upon the W ashinglon news concerning the agitation in’ the Senate looking toward the Tecognition of the Cuban belligerents &s a pretext | for & break in prices, and hammered the list with great vigor. Prices yielded slowly at first, but as round amounts of the leading shares were thrown upon the market the doswnward movement was acceler- ated, and during the afternoon a general decline of 3% 1 5 per cent ensued. The fact that houses with Washington connections were prominent as seilers gave color to the reports that a feeling of apprenension existed as 1o the outcome of the much-tal ? Senate resolutions on the Cuban question. Many stop orders were caught on the way dowh, and a number of small traders were shaken out of their stocks. Particular attention was paid to Sugar and the stock broke from 11854 to 11354 on sales of nearly 96,000 shares. The leading insiders were cred- ited with X s ut' the lower range. General Elec: 2 azo Gas, Louisville and XNashvule, Manhaitan, the grangers, Lackawanna, Tennessee Coal and Iron, Jersey ‘Central, the Southwestern shares and Pacific Mail yielded ans where from 14 to 3 per cent.

CHICAGO, Trr, Feb. 28.—The feeling in | wheat to-day continued in the bullish vein that | | supplies as the only basis. I3 | but business for the future does not mend. became prominent shottly before the close yester- day. There was nothing siartling or radically | bullish in the news, but the sentiment was such as to deter the short seller from pursuing his nsual course. St. Louis led Chicage most of the day, the market at the former place not aeciining when the latter eased off, and’ At about the wealkest time Chicago had St. Louls 100k a turn upward, Liverpool cables were firm. Receipts in the No; west were large at 485 cars, against 356 last Fri- 420 a vear agp. Chicago had 64 cars. thdrawals from store were 100.840 bushels. Closing Berlin cables were higher. Paris and Antwerp were unchanged. ~ Export clearances were liberal at 393,868 bushels. Tie market eased oft before the ciose, early buyers selling with some degree of liberality. May wheat opened from 6735c to B714c, sold between 667xc and 68ge, closing at Gc higher than vesterday. E timated re for to-morrow, 60 cars. CORN—Trading in corn developed no new feat- ures. The opening was firm in sympathy with wheat, but later a period of weakness was noted, followed by & rally which carried prices to_about starting figures. Recelpts were 408 cars. 66 more than expected. Withdrawals frow store amounted 10 30.175 bushels. Liverpool cables were quiet and s.eady. Export clearances were 211468 bush Is. May corn opencd at 3034c. sold betwee: 134@3075c and 3015@8055c. closing at 3034c, a 4 shade hicuer than yesterday. Estimated receipts for to-morrow 280 cars. OATS—Were indisposed 10 move with any de- | gree of ceierity. The action of the leading markets turnished the directing influence, but price chanzes were not important or broad. Receipts | were 154 cars, and 110,400 bushels were taken from store. Muyoats cicsed a_shade higher. Es- timated receipts for to-morrow 280 cars. F, —Was steady: cash, 90c; May, 90%ge Receipts were 25 cars PROVISIONS—The early trade in provisions was at very weak prices, another large ran ot hogs at the vards depressing values at that place, which in turn worked to the disadvantage of the product. A steadier tqne took possession of the narket later, with business falling into a state of dullness. Stocks of provisions on the 1st of March are expected to show as follows: Pork, new, 120. 000 barrels; old, 28,000: lard, 100,000 tierces: ribs. 18,000,000 pounds.

SAY t0-morrow in their weekly review of traae: Failures in three weeks of February show liabili- ties of $10.889,936, against $8 525,028 -last year and £11,420.418 in 1894. Failures for the week have been 278 in the United States, against 250 last year, and 58 In Canzds, against 38 last year. In some quarters there are gains at the West ratherthan at the East,but there is no general change for the better, although hopefulness still predominates. Foreign affairs grow more pacific; the public turns' more resolutely toward sound monev. but the want of suflicient demand for the products of great industries still retazds actual im. provement. There are strikes of some importance in gar- ment-making and kiudred lines of the manufac- turing trade in Chicago and Baltimore, but there are fewer labor difficulties than usual, as existing conditions warn wage-earners that controversies at this time are unwise. The speculative markets show little life. The volume of business does not improve. lixchanges threugh the principal clearing-houses show 19.7 per cent gain over last year, but the month's comparison with 1893 is the only instructive one, and shows a decrease of 20.7 | for February. Raiiroad earnings for the third week of Febriary exceed last year's 5.7 per cent, and for February thus rar have been 11.08 per cent greater than last year's. Stock speculation has been irregular, and Coban war talk on Friday caused a break in railroad stocks averaging 63 poivts. Disappointing indus- trial statements. together with the general break, lowered the trusts $1 48. Wheat has teken a flight upward, sdvancing 3¢ for casn and 23/5c for May, with rumors of forefgn Estimates of wheat in farmers’ hands are lower than last year, but stili indicate, with vigible stocks, a supply that is be- d probeble needs. Cotton has béen weaker, ith only fair receipts, the important decline in reat Britaln havingz much influence. ‘ihe price of middiing uplands has declined a six:eenth. and pre-paration for & large increase of acreage is still reported. ‘The mirket for tettile goods fs disappointing. Material reductions in coitons have not brought out the needed demand, and a further decline in Lawrence L. L. Brown sheetings this week of 41gc corresponds with reports that mills of some fm- poriance may prefer 1o arrest production for a time until the demand improves. Woolen-mills are receiving considerable orders for spring goods, Clay ‘worsteds are again a shade lower. The range for all woolens is scarcely 1 per cent higher than a year ago, although wool is more than 7 per cent higher, and a cood many mills are closing or re- ducing time. The feature in the iron market has been the large demand for wrought and cast vipe. Large orders for structural work are received at Chicago and executed at the FEast, as building plans are unusually large, but sheets sell slowly and rails very little, though bar is fairly active, with maunv orders-coming for cars. Iron quots- tions average 2 per ceni lower for the week be- cause of the drop in bessemer at Pilisburg to $12 60 and in gray forge to $1075. The demand for boots and shoes xains very little. kxports.of domestic products from New Yark for three weeks sLow a gain of 16 per ceut over last year, while imporis in the same time scarcely incresse. But export bilisare diminishing rapidiy at this season, while larger imports naturally come in succeeding months and many security bills Lave to be metin the near futnre, It is therefore belieyed by many that gold exports are not BANK CLEARINGS.

In the past 25 days there have | been but two foreign carzoes come to hand, viz: E. | Ragzio and mpire from Newcastle, N.' S. W., With 462X tons: hence the stocks on hand of Eng- lish and Auvstralian are being gradually aimin- ished. Thereare fully due from Ausralia about | 15,000 tons which should arrive within the next | ten days, and there are in all over 150,000 tons capacity engaged to transport Coal trom Newcastle and Sydney: some of this will not load for several months. Freight rates- from thai section ure steadily meintained with & tendency wward an ad- vance. as the inducements for grain carriers to Seck this port the coming season are not very en- couraging. Coal freights from Swansea and Cardift are now quoted at 15s @ ton; this shows a steady advance, and means higher figures for Coal ship- ments; the market here already shows an im- provement. Jobbers and retuilers are compluining of dull business, as_consumption I8 1izht and com- petition very keen to secure orders from steam consumers, cutting profits very fine.

Probably the most comprehensive long- distance telephore connection ever estab- | lished for actual business use was made in | Boston last week. A Boston man had oc- casion to confer with several widely scat- tered business asociates. There were two in New York, one in_Buffalo, one in Chi- cago and one in Cincinnati. All were con- nected on the same circuit, and conversa- i tion, in which all took part by turns, and 50 do, b 2, do, 7434 | all could hear, was carried on for half an hour. The total distance was over 1800 - miles. e A Good Listener. In conversing with one’s friends nothing is so chilling as an appdrent lack of atten- tion ana sympathy. It might be added that nothing was more vulgar, were not the listener’s indifference common to the majority of our most cultured people. If, when one is addressed, she will remember to incline the body slightiv forward, an attitude of rapt attention will soon be un- consciously assumed, and, whether really worthy of it or not, new recruits gained for the always popular, as rare, class known as “‘good listeners.”’—Philadelphia Times. ———————— THE CALL CALENDAR.
