Ilsoburs, or solid lines, connect poln s of equal alr pressure; igo- therms. or dotted lines, equal temperature. The word “high” means high barometric pressure and is_usunlly sccompanied by fair weather: “low” refers to low pressure. and is usually preceded and accompanied by clondy weatherand rains. “Lows” ns'ally first appear on the Washington ast.

Witha “high” in the vicinity of Tdaho, and the pressure falling to the Californta coast, warmer weather may be expected in_summer and colder weather {n winter. The reverse of these conditions will produce an opposite result. WEATHER BUREAU REPORT. UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICUL- TURE, WEATHEE BUREAU, SaN FrANCISco, July 17, 1896, 5 P. M.

NEW YORK MARKEILS. continued warm Financial, NFW YORK. N. Y. July 17.—There was s material falling off In the dealings at the Stock Exchange to-day, the total sales footing up only 240,700 shares. The opening was generally firm, London houses having bought moderate amounts of issues lisced abroad, such as St. Paul and Louis- ville. A drive at the Industrials followed and this destroved the good feeling. Sugar, Tobacco, Leather preferred and Chicago Gas fell 55@1%4 per cent under pressure. The general rallway list also raa off, partly in sympathy with the break in the Industrials and partly because the favorable rumors circulated laie Yesterday falled to mate- rialize. A rally in Government bonds, the new fours showing a recovery of 134 per cent from yester- day’s lowest point, und the fac: that the engage- ment of $2.000.000 of gold for shipment to Luroj did not lead 1o iresh seiling of long stocks, set the shoris to covering.

CHICAGO, Irr, July 17.—A first-class cash demand, & strong feeling at St. Louis, a decrease inthe estimated receipts,a better feeling in the siock market, together with the fact that, as yes- terday and the day before, the market was shown 10 be about On an export basis, caused the wheat options to-day to open with & stronger tone and with a better trage. It was sald that Chicago could not obtain spring wheat, and this was cited as evidence that the country millers were pay- ing more for that grade than was offered here, al- though these options were 1c above the September option. Buying at Liverpool was said to be gen- eral, and {. was also stated that no one concern here had a monopoly on the orders. The St. Louis market opened 34c above last night's close, and the cables were a turn dearer. Yesterday’s export totals from here were 160,000 bushels. To-day’ it was sald, would aggregate 50.000 busheis. Th weather map showed predictions for rain throug out the W Northwest and Southwest.

Re- ceipts at Chicago were 247 cars, and the withdraw- als irom store were 93,587 bushels. Atlantic sea- board clearances were 497,269 bushels. Con:inen- tal cables were steady.

Dun & Co. will say to-morrow in their weekly review of trade: Faflures for the week have been 269 In tle United States against 258 last year and in Canada against 39 last year, 7 Disapproval of the action at the Chicago con- vention has had some fnfiuence in the markets the past week, but a far more important factor has been the feeling that the financlal future is still uncerain. This acate attack of doubt comlag at atime when business is for other reasons seriously depressed has made the week unusually gloomy in speculative circles. The average price for sixty aciive ra iroad stocks bas declined from $47 22 to 81476 rer share and_the average of trust stocks from $47 30 to $44 48 per share. The wheat market has been remarkably well supported in spite of & very favorable report by the Government, aud prices are a shade higher than s week ago.’ Western recelpis of wheat have been 3,581,700 bushels against 1,485,300 for the same week of Ju'y of Just year, and Atlantic ports, flour inciuded, has been 1,185,900 bushels against only 547,018 for the same week lust year. Cotton has fallen about & half cent in options and ODe quarter it spot_prices, because the men who were sure there would be & cotton famine in July and have been holding large quantities have changed their minds. The woolen manufacture is waiting, and as new orders are exceedingly siow, the sales of wool at the three chief markets were, for the week, only 225,000 pounds, transactions at Boston being re- Pported the iowe.t ever known at that market. The output of pigiron July 1 was 180,632 tons weekly, against 182,220 Junmel, and 171,194 a year ago. The decrease since the maximum was reached November 1, 217,306 tons weekly, has been material and yet stocks are rapidly accumu- lating, those heid by producers, not including the great steel companies, amounting to 815,872 tons, #o fucrease of 29.920 tons for the month of June, or about 7000 tons per week, which indicates & consumj of less 173.000 tons. Considering the fact that the accumulation by the great steel companfes must have been the consumption is undoubtedly smaller than 1¢ was & year ago. The demand for finished prodnets of iron and steel is extremely narrow, although one considerable bullaing contract 1s % 5000 tons for the San Francisco CALL bulloing, with & few smaller contracts. But in bars the combination hes found itseif unable 1o maintaln prices, and there are renewed reports that the Ereat decrease in sales of nails will force a reduc.

They no more think of tak- ing off their hats when they meet & woman, that is, unless they know her, than tihey would outdoors. Yet these very men, as soon as they enter the elevator, remove. their hats solemnly as if they were performing a religious rite. I object to the practice not merely because it is absurd, out because when the_elevator is crowded it is baa for the hat. Why a man should take off his hat in an elevator any more than in a horsecar merely be- cause women are present I do not under- stand.”—New York Sun. —————— A pinch of saltpeter put in the water in which cut flower‘; star‘:d will keep them fresh for a long time.
