The arrow flies with the wind. at station indicate maximum temperature for the days; those underneath it, if any, the amount of raintall, of melted snow in inches and hundredths, during ‘the past twelve hours. Isobars, or solid lines, connect poin s of equal air pressure; iso- therms, or dotted lines, equal temperature. The word “high” means high barometric pressure and is_usually accompanicd by fair weather: “low” refers to low pressure. and is usually preceded and accompanied by clondy weatherand rains. “Lows”_usually first appesr on the Washington coasi. When the pressure is high in_the interior and low along the coast,and the isobars extend north and south along the cosst, rain is probable; but when the “low” 15 inciosed with isobars of marked curvature, rain south of Oregon is improb- able. Wiih 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 theseconditions will produce an opposite result. WEATHER RUREAU REPORT. UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICUL- TURE, WEATHER BUREAU. SAN FERANCISCO, Oct. 9, 1896, 5 P. M.—Weather conditions and general forecast: The following maximum temperaiures are re- ported from statioos in California to-day: Eureka 54, Red Bluff £8, San Francisco 67, Fresno 84, San Luis Obispo 82, Los Angeles 80, San Diego 70.

There has been a marked fall in temperature during the past thirty-six hours ghout Utah, Northern Arizona ana sEastern Nevada and conditions are favorable for frosts to-night throughout this region. There has been a sudden and decided fall jn pressure in the last twelve hours in Western Washington and Orezon. 1f this condition continues for twenty-four hours longer it will result 1n a well-defined storm on the coast north of California. The pressure has re mained nearly stationary on the California coast. The temperature has fallen in this region. These conditio ns vould indicate that rain south of Cape Mendocin o is improbable.

BAMMON, Forecast Official NEW YORK MARKETS. Financial. NEW YORK, N.Y., Oct. 9.—Stocks were in- active again to-day, but the tendency was down- ward. The weakness of the market was some- what 0f a surprise to Lhe average operatorin view of the renewal of gold imports and the heaviness of sterling exchange. To-day’s engagement of nearly $2,000,000 was an increase from London which will bring the week’s imports up to about $5,000,000. The amount ordered and in London stuce August 8 last isabout $63,000,000. Bullion denlers report a steady inquiry, and are asking 3-16 to 14 per cent commission. Foreign exchauge was reducea half a cent to $4 82 0 $4 8415, and ruled weak to the close. As ofi yesterday, sugar was the feature of trading, and dropped 214 per cent 1o 105 on dealings of 63,600 shares. Refined suzar was reduced anoLLer 3 cent per pound and this added to the bearish feeling. - Man- hattan and Tobacco were strong in the early deal- ings, rising 0 93145 and 694 respec:ively. Man- battan was influenced by the old report of a deal with the Metropoiitan Traction. Nothing definite couid be obtained and the impression is growing that the siory was started for speculative effect. The rise in tobacco was generally ascribed to cov- ering of short contracts. In the late trading the entire list weakened owlng t0 a sudden advance in cali money to 8 per cen . Therise in the rate led 1o marketing of round amounts of London stock, and under this process the usually active lisi declined anywhere :Tom g to 23 per cent. Manhattan fell 235 10 9133 Reading, all as- sessments paid, 1% (0 23, and tue other issues 14 10 135 per cent. Speculation closed weak in Lone. Net chauges show losses of 14 to 2 per cent on the day.

NEW YORE, N. Y., Oct. 8.—R. G. Dun & Co. will say to-morrow: Distincily better conditions have been apparentof late and are reflected in somewhat larger employment of labor, In large transsctions and in continued buying of materfals for manufaciure. A greatpart of the change is due to those resistless laws of supply and demand which take wheat where it is wanted and gold where it is wanted. India s waiting for cargoes of wheat on way from the Pacific States, just as Ausiraiia and South Africa were not fong ago. Surplus usually availabie from India disappears and the su:plus.jrom Russia and kuropean coun- tries is reduced, according to late cstimates, 75, 000,000 bushels. liapplly this country has a supply which official reports have not correctly measured, if actual movements do not greatly mis- lead. Western receipts for the week were 7,243.969 bushels, agairst 7,351,741 last year, and this fol- lows an increase of 14,000,000 bushels in receipts duriug the qu rter ending September 30. Atlantic €Xporis—2,069,071 bushels (flour included) for the week, against 1,707,629 las: year—are not yet s0large as o torce prices upward, if Kuropean buying basea on European needs did not control our markets. A feature of large importance is the unusuaily good demand for corn, which is a rarely failing sign of deficient crops abroad, while other grains are wanted instesd of wheat when the latter becomes scarce aud dear. It is anotuer good sign that railroad earniugs. amounting to $38,745,318 in the United States for September. show a smaller decrease than in Augusi—1.3 per ceut, against 6.7 per cent compsred with last year. Iron furaaces in blast October 1 had a capacily of 112,789 tons weekly against 129,500 September 1 and 218,306 November 1 last year, while unsold stocks decreased 35,582. Buying of materials continues, but Hessemer Is a shade weaker, $11 40 at riusburg. The demand for products is solight and so much does it hold back, pending the election, that de- creasing output is not an unhealthy sign. There is quite & good demsnd for sheets, especlally at the West, and ratner better for pleces, and outside con- cerns are getling large contracts in steel and iron burs and 1n nalls, but prices have nol been re- nce Minor metals change little, with simply better demand for copper: leaa guiet and tin weaker be- cause the visible supply, 35,400 tons, is 8000 greater than a year ago. Some mannfacturers e - muking large saies of 100-pound tin plates at The upward rush of hides has advanced prices at Chicago 6 per cent for the week to the highest average since last November. Prices of leather bave risen 25 per cent, with small dealings. Shoes are seliing very little, as consumers refuse to pay higher prices and dealers do not want to buy. Orders for the nex: se:son are few and many coucerns may close for & time. Textile manufactures are gaining a little, and the buying of wool by large mills covers 7,662, £00 pounds for the week, against 11,249.200 last week. Prices advanced about 1 per cent in Sep- tember and have since aavanced even more, though few dealers have orders for long time. Buying of cotton has been checked by heavy re- ceipts from plantations, 1,222,287 bales having come into sight in September, aains: 542 394 last year. The price hias dropped seven-sixteenths, and few 1ow have coufidence in a crop of only 7,000,000 bales. . More gold bas been ordered from Europe, so that §4,000.000 is now on the way. Speculation in stocks has yielded a little, but 1.3 for railroads and 5.5 for Lrusts The outward mcvement of money to the Interior has been 4,000,000 for the weel Failures for the week were 296 in the United States, against 268 last year, and 46 in Canada, against 52 last year.

COAL—A local circular says: “During the week there have been 12 arrivals from the northern col- lieries with 24,905 tons of Coal, and six cargoes from foreixn sources with 17,276 tons. The de- mand shows an increase this week, but not sufli- clent to show any improvement n vaiues, as stocks on hand are ample to meet all demands and hold- ers appear (o be anxious sellers Domestic grades find sale at covering figures, as the quantity here is not excessive, and the stocks are under more har- monious control, but steam grades are simply slaughtered and are offered at absurdly low prices, the actual cost to the OWNErS cutiing no figure in the sale. This slashing of values to effect saies can only be temporary, 8s consumers must now become generous buyers, and the removal of sev- eral unsold carzoes now en route from the market must have & wholesome influence later on, lie- sides our Coast collieries cannot profitably com- pete with the foreign Coals now being forced on the market, and in he interim they must dimin- ish their output, which must lead to an early im- provement. Swansea and Cardiff Coal freights have been marked up fully 18 B ton, and vessels are scarce at the advance; this wil lead to an early improvement {n these grades. Crude ol will have to be lowered in price to Lold its trade @gainst the cheap steam Coals now In the market.”” Wellingion s quotable at $8: New Wellington, $8 ¥ ton: Southfield Wellington, §7 50 B ton Seatile, $5@5 50; Bryans, $0: C00s Bay, $4 50 Wallsend, #7: Scotch, $7 50: Brymbo, $7 50 Cumberland, $13 60 ton in bulk and $15 in sks: Pennsyivania Anihracite Egg, $11 P ton; Welsh Anthracite, $9: Cannel, $7 50; Rock Springs, Cas- tle Gate and Pleasant Valley, $7 60; Coke, $11@ 12 1n bulk and $13 P ton in sks.
