The arrow flies with the wind. The top figures at station indicate maximum temperature for the days; those underneath it, if any, the amount of | rainfall, of melted snow in inches and hundredths, during the past twelve hours. Isobars, or solid lines, connect poin s of equal air pressure; igo- therms, or dotted lines, equal temperature. The word “high” means high barometric pressure and is_usually accompanied by fair weather: “low" refers (o low pressure. and is usually preceded and accompanied by cloudy weather and 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” 1s inclosed with isobars of marked curvature, rain south of Oregon is improb- able. With a “high” in the vicinity of Idaho, and the pressure falling to the California coast, warmer weather may be expected in_summer and colder weather in winter. The reverse of these conditions will produce an opposite result. WEATHER BUREAU REPORT. USNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICUL- TURE, WEATHER BUREAU, SAN FRANCISCO.

Y., Oct. 1.—Stocks were less active to-day, the sales amounting to 179,776 shares, against 219,000 shares yesterday. The falliog off in business wasdue toexcitement in the wheat market, the bull movement in ihe cereal having attracted seneral attention. At the open- ing stocks ruled lower, owing to weak cables from London and moderate sales. Faiing to induce 1iquidations the small bears made an_effort to cover and their purchases soon brought vance of 14@13 per cent.

Thesentiment showed no relaxation. and buying by iocal professionals continued o a large scale. It Is worthy of note that commission houses as a rule reportea no coun'ry trade of impor:ance. The specu ators nave iurnishea most of the buy- ing orders since the bull movement began. Some orders came from Liverpool, New York and other large cities, but by fa- the most buying has been local. The opening to-day was at 3 of a cent premlum over yesterday’s close, anoiher advance of equal proporiions taking piac: soon afterward. Sellidg against calls presested an obstacle to the rise when that point was reached. Liverpool opening cables were 114d higher. Recsipts in the Northwest were 986 cars against 506 iast Thurs- day and 1039 a year ao. icago recelved 185 cars, and Inspected out 23,700 bushels. The Cincinnati Price Current re- ported the new cropas having a favorabie start, with & full area sown. Expori clearances amounted (0 582,460 bushel-. Closing Liverpool cubles were 134d higzer than yesterday, and Con- tinental markets quoted advances. Prices con- tinuec strong throughout the session, very few recessions taking place nntil near the close, when on reaizing al0ss of about half tne day’s previous n took plac- December wheat opened from 34c to 69¢, advanced to 70%4c, closing at s934c, /s¢ 10 114C higher than yesierday. Estimated pis for 1o morrow, 137 cars. CORN—Was slgitly improved this morning through the benefit dertved from advancing values in wheat. No important news or information was recetved, and business was not anv betier than it has recently been. Liverpool cables were lad dioher. Receip s were 556 cars. and 432,680 bushels were wizh !rawn from store. The C.neln- nati Price Current revoried no change in the corn situation. At the time wheat displayed it greatest strength corn advanced raher sharply, and for & shurt time unususl_ activity prevalied. Kxport clearances weie 420,38 bushels. May corn opened trom 25%c 10 2534@:57 advanced to 273/gc, closing at 65»@ 2l 7s@ ¢ higher than cars. OATS—Followed the direction of the other grains.

There is a medical practitioner in Scot- land, says thé Medical Press and Circular, whose area of practice is so wide that he has resorted to the method of using car- rier pigeons for the purpose of assisting him in his daily labors. When, for exam- ple, he iscalled upon to visit patients far distant from his home he takes with him a number of his stock of carrier birds. On reaching an urgent case and gnscribing, he forwards the prescription by means of a pigeon. As soon as the bird reaches his house a domestic careiully extracts the message frcm under its wing and hands it to the doctor’s dispenser, who makes up the prescription and dispatches the medi- cine to the patient. Another convenient arrangement resorted to by this enter- prising practitioner is to leave one of his pigeons at the house of a far-distant patient whose case may demand his early attention. When in such an instance the doctor’s presence is urgently de- manded, a pigeon is dispatched with a message, and the doctor is soon on his way to the patient’s house. e e THE CALL CALENDAR.
