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” 1s inclosed with isobars of marked curvature, rain south of Oregon is improb- sble. Wih a “high” in the vicinity of 1daho, and the pressure falling to the California coast, warmer weather may be expected in summer and colder weather in winter.

ALEXANDER G. MCADIE, Local Forecast Official. NEW YORK MARKETS. Financial. NEW YORK, N. Y., May 6.—There was a mod- erate increase in business at the Stock Exchange to-day, but the market is still under the control of the professionals. Outside interest, much o the regret of the commission-houses, is at a.very low ebb, and the changes that oconr in prices from day to day simply reflect the opinions of & half dozen or s0 room traders. At the start the ten- of prices was downward, the comparatively v withdrawa's of gold from the sub-treasury, 00.000, the bulk of which Is for export, and rumors that President Cleveland intended to send s warlike message to Congress on the Caban ques- tion has assisted local bears in thelr work of de- Ppressing prices. As of lute, the greatest impression was made in the industrials. These issues broke anywhere ?‘um 1to 234 per cent. Bay State Gas, Laclede Gas, Tobacco, Sugar. General Eiectric and Rubber comimon suifered the heaviest osses. The railway 1ist yielded only 1 to I per cent, notwithstanding the vressure brought to bear by a well-known operator. It is alleged that this trader sold nearly BOO0 shares of the stock during the day. Atthe afternoon session a firmer tone prevailed, the re- sult of covering of shor: contracts, Washington ad- vices indicating an_early adjournment of Congress led to the closing up of contracts by certain bears. The atiernoon Tally was equsl t0 14@%4 per cen . Speculation closed about firm in tone." A 5 per cent in the rai changes show losses of way ilst and 4@1% in the inaustrials.

CHICAGO, Irt., May 6.—Interesting features either in the way 0f news or business were de- cidedly few in the wheat market to-day. The only information aside from the usual statistical figures and cables was that contained In the Orange-Judd Farmer, which made its appearance about noon. It made the condition of winter wheat 88.4 against 87 a month ago. Private dis- patches from winter wheat points were equally sausfactory and encouraging. In the Northwest show ers still interfere with seeding, causing some apprehension. The foreign demand continues light and clearances are small. The market opened and remalned firm daring the morning, the retarded spring wheat seeding being the main influence. The public announcement of the Orange-Judd Farmer report brought abont & tem- porary deciine Iater. Liverpool cables were steady. Recelpts were moderate, Chicago having but three cars. The Northwest had 238 cars against 307 last Wednesday and 247 a year ago. Local withdrawals from store were 136,200 bush- els, and Atlantic seaboard clearances of wheat and flour aggregated 228,062 busnels. Along toward the end of the session it was stated that the Ohio State report gave a material reduction in con- dition. This caused prices to rally from a weak position taken when the Orange-Judd Farmer re- port was announced. Closing Parls cables were unchanged for flour and unchanged to 10 centimes lower for wheat. Berlin was 114@2 marks higher, and Antwerp unchanged. July wheat opened from 62150 10 62%4c, sold between 617c and 6255@6234¢. closing At 621pc. l4e higher than vesterday.
