Potatoes, Onions and Vegetables unchanged. Tncreusing receipts of Strawberrles, Butter comes i very soft. Eggs show signs of weakening. A car of Eastern Poultry sold. Provisions unchanged. Hops sent to London net 13ac B B. SR resno g© Independence mxplanation, The arrow flles with the wind. The top figures at station Indicate maximum temperature for the days; those underneath it, if any, the amount of rainf; of meited snow in inches and hundredths, during the past twelve hours. Isobars, or solid Iines, connect points of equal air pressure; iso- therms, or_dotted lines, equal temperature. The “high"” means high barometric pressure and ually accompanied by fair weather; “low” refers to low pressure, and is usually preceded and accompanied by cloudy weather and rains. “Lows” appear on the Washington coast. essure is high in the interior and low ong the coast, and the isobars extend north and along the coast, rain is probable; but when low” is inciosed with {sobars of marked curva- ture rain south of Oregon is improbable. With & “high” in the vicinity of Tdaho, and the pressure failing to the Californla coast, warmer weather may be expected in summer and colder weather in win- ter. The reverse of these condiuons will produos 1 opposite result. WEATHER BUREAU REPORT. UNITED STATES DEPARTM oF AGRICUL- TURE, WEATHER BUREAU, SAN FRANCISCO, March 25, 1896, 5 P. M.

Y., March 25.—Speculation Bt the stock exchange to- day was of a midsummer cter, the dullness having been extreme. Only 5.900 shares were traded in. Notwithstanding the dullness the tendency of prices was in the di- Tection of improvement. London bought moderate amounts of its favorites, and this. with the slightly higher prices from abroad and the belief that the political situation in the United States as affecting the outside world had improved, assisted the rise which took place in the generat list. The greatest gains were made In the industrials. Chicago Gas advanced & point 10 67%5 on_the reports that the directors intended to resume the payments of dividends. »bacco. after an early decline from 83 to 8214, Tos¢ 10 84 and closed &t 8. The story on the board was thal the directors at their meeting on Weanesday next_will declare & dividend on the common siock. Nothing official could be obtained. The reports about a consolidation with the out- side manufacturers were again revived and vizor- ously denied by the Western people who are not in the combination. It has been remarked that the American Tobacco directors are singularly quiet about the matter. Sugar first fell 1o 114 and rose 10 11514@115. General Electric was firmer and ranged between 35 and 35% hefrailway list was fir were merely fractional. St. Paul was strengthened by the increase in its earnings for the third week of March of nearly $116,000. Speculation closed , but the variations firm, with prices anywhere from 1 (0 3, per cent higher on the day Bonas were higner.

CHICAGO MAREKETS. CHICAGO, Irr., March 26.—Thers was but intermittent aciivity in the wheat market to-day, the greater portion of the session having Do ani- mation whatever. -Prices early in the day made a good advance over yesterday, after which trade was generally quiet. bat the firmness which had developed remained in control. The tone at the opening did not afford much encouragement to. nolders, large Northwestern receipts, 522 cars against 413 last Wednesday and 310 a year ago, tending 10 impart weakness, but an unexpected sharp demand arose and offerings being light values rose quite rapidly. Receipts at Chicago were 19 cars. and 10,983 bushels were withdrawn from store. Liverpool cablés were quiet aud un- changed. ~Bradstreets report of the world’s stocks gave a decrease of 3,707,000 bushels. This was a Iarger reduction than traders looked for, but it caused only temporary increase of strength. The closing Paris cables were unchanged to lower for flour and unchanged for wheat. Berlin was higher for spot wheat and unchanged for fuures. There was no change at Antwerp. Export clearances were very light at 93,482 bushels. At the close re- newed strength sppeared. May wheat opened from 6214@6214c to B23gc, advanced to 63Va closing at 63c, 5sc higher than yesterday. Ksu mated receipts for to-morrow 20 cars. CORN—The initial trading In curn was at steady prices, the receipts of but 187 cars where 300 were estimated giving the market some assistance. The rise in wheat then extended help and further hardened the tone. Business was open 1o great improvemient, however, the pit wearing a deserted look, with rare exceptions. Liverpool cables were quiet and steady. Withdrawals irom store were 57.217 bushels. Brads reets reported an increase in stocks of 650.000 bushels. Export clearances were 229,719 bushels. May corn opened at 2934¢, sold between 29%c and 2814@29%/c. closing at 29340, Vsc higher than yesterday. ~Estimated re- celpis for to-morrow 230 cars: OATS—Full accord with the better feeling in | wheat and corn was exhibited by oats. There was | no remarkable or infiuential trading, the general | character of the market being du:l.’ Bradstreets | gave an increase in stocks of 726,000 bushels. Receipts were 196 cars, and 140,051 oushels were Withdrawn from store. May closed unchanged from yester: Estimated recelpts for to-mor- Tow 180 cars. FLAX—Was steady. Cash, 90c;” May, 80%ac; September, 9414c. Recelpts were 27 cars. PROVISIONS—What provisions lacked in strength they made up for inactivity. The action of prices denoted furcher abondonment of hove by | holders and_corresoonding confidence among the bears. The bog market was Off another 10c, which fact was the keynote for product. Toward the close prices hardened on_covering by shorts. May pork closed 23c lower, May lard and ribs each a shade lower. Closing Price WHEAT—March, 6134c; May, 63¢; Yac.
