The top figures st 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; iso- therms, or dotted lines, equal temperature. The word ““high” means bigh barometric pressure and is_usuaily accompanied by fair weather: ‘low” refers to low pressure, and is usually preceded and accompanied by clondy weatherand rains. “Lows” usially 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 *"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.

Y., Oct. 14,—During the early trading at the?Stock Exchange to-day the market ruled active and strong. A very confident tone characterized the business, and there was good buying for both local and foreign account. Quite a number of operators espoused the bull cause, bringing about higher prices for American securi- ties in London, large gold engagements, and the favorable statement issned by the Bureau of Sta- tistics of the export trade of the coun:ry for Sep- tember. London houses were credited with taking sully 2000 shaves, principaily St. Paut, Louisville and Neshville and low-priced issues. The gold engagements reported to-day foot up £1,500,000, and according*1o suthoriiles the amount to be shipped this way by steamers leaving Kurope to- morrow, Saiurday and Tuesday next will aggregate $10,000,000. The heaviness of sterling exchange (posted rates had been reduced Y4 ¢ 10 $4 8116@4 8414) is in- terpretea as meaning that the movement Lhis way will continue for some time. This is borne ot by the excellent showing made by the trade statistics for September. In thai month the increase in the exports of breadstuifs, provisions, mineral ofls and cotion is $20,641,132 as compared with 1895, Imports for the same month this year have been light, and this is also in our favor.” The advauce in stock prices during the morning session ranged from % Lo 3%, per cent. the anthraciie, industrials and grangers heing the leaders.

A Teact/onary tenaency in the cereal market also had an adverse Influence. Reports of advance In Bank of England rate to 4 per cent .{0-morrow and a beifef that the St. Paul 8 earnings for the second week of October will be unfayorable also induced realizations. The decline from the Lop of the day was equal 10 16@17% per cent, the latter In Man- hattan. A feature of the day was the heavy offerings of money by Morgan Bros. after call loans had been bid up to 10 per cent, In the specialties Tili- nois steel jumped 33 to 45; droppea to 4034 and closed at 4134.

CHICAGO MARKETS, CHICAGO, Irt., Oct. 14.—Bull enthusiasm In wheat was in full force at the opening of the mar- ket this morning, in explanation of which was urged the reports of cargo salesat San Francisco. Liverpool offered no further encouragement, that market responding toour advance of yesterday by 14d. The effect of this informatign was apparent suortly after trading began, when prices declined 134c. A slow recovery then took place. North- western receipts were not so heavy this morning, 867 cars arriving, agalnst 1152 last Wednesday and 914 a year ago. 5 The reduction was ascribed to difficulty In ob- taining cars. Chicago received 355 cars and in- spected out 17,000 bushels. The market exibited more or less weakness throughout the session, holders availing themselves of every little recov- ery to dispose of wheat. Closing Paris and Berlin cables were higher and Antwerp unchanged. Ex- port clearances were liberal at 388.940 bushels. In the last fitieen minutes prices advanced over 1c from the Inside, but again quietly aeclined and closed within a fraction of the lowest point of the day. The flurry was occasioned by reports of a fresh demand from TIndia December_wheat opened from 7054@707c, s0ld between 71c and 6. 14@693c, closing ai 6933@69%5¢c, 7gc under yesterday. Estimated receipts for {G-morrow, 350 cars. CORN—Showed ready agreement with the mo- tion of wheat. At the opening buying was en- couraged by higher Liverpool cables aud b large inspections from store—678,630 bushels—but the anick retrogression in wheat exerted a depressing influence and prices declined. Receipts were 768 cars, three more than expected. Export clear- ances amounted to 38,518 bushels. May corn opened from - 855@2834c, declined to 2734, clos- ing at 281gc—35c under yesterday. Estimated recelpts for to-morrow 950 cars. Took sirength and vigor at the openinz from the adjoining pits, but 10s¢ it when weakness assuiied control of the general situation. Re- ceipts were 407 cars, and 4943 bushels were with- drawn from store. Exports amounted to 160,893 bushels. May oais closed lge lower. Esiimated receipts for 10-morrow 510 curs. FLAX—Was steady to firm. _Cash, 75@76c; De- cember, 76@77c; May, 8114@82. Receipis were 109 cars. PROVISIONS—The support was _withdrawn from products right at the opening this morning and prices fell away sharply. A decline of 5c in hog prices was ostensibly the immediate factor, but the recent advances were apparently viewe. as of doubtful merit, and holders were wiling sell- ers to obtain profits. At the ciose January pork was d5c lower and January lard and ribs each 27%aclower BUTTER—The butter market was very firm to-day. Fine makes were scprce and in urgent de- mand.

Sumner & Co. says: “The market shows some im- provement since our last report, and Hides, Leather, Wool, Sheepskins and Tallow are firmer i the Eastern cities and at somewhat better prices. There seems to be more confidence In the bustness outlook. Stocks generally are small, and in the course of thirty days we hope to see a better valuation in ail goods in our lne. Wet salted hices continue about the same, althongh we mark up prices. There are only smail stocks on hand and values are well susiained. Wet saited kip, veal and calf are more active at better prices. Dry flint hides are higher, owlng to a quick market in the East. As but few or no dry hides were tanned in California the prices on these goods are made on the values obtainable by shipmentsof thiy stock to New York and Boston. These shipments are always made on a very close margin. Dry flint kips sre qulet with noimprovement. Asa rule dry Kips are sold about 13/4c ® Ib less than the rates of dry hides. Horse hides are at a standsuill, and little or nothing can be done with these goods at'present. Wool and sheep skins are quiet but firmer and the tendency s toward better prices. We can quote Sheepskins as active. Tallow 1s firmer and prices in Chi-ago and New York have advanced about l4c B Ib. We mark Tallow at higher rates. Deerskins continue nominal, the trade being confined to skins which come from Alaski nd foreign countries. The summer and short-haired skins are desirable and bring fay prices, but the thin, pavery and_winter skins are dull at the lowest figures. The gemeral prospects of the Hide and Leather trade are to-day more en- couraging than they have been at any time during the past three or four months, and we hope to see within thirty aays a more active business and bet- ter values.

Mining stocks showed no changes worthy of note yesterday until after the last-session when Occl- dental sold up to G4c. The other stocks closed weak. . The Hutchinson Sugar Plantation Company has deciared a monthly dividend of 25¢ per sh are pavable October 20, . The Justice Mining Company has levied an assessment of 5c. The Challenge Consolidated Mining Company has levied an assessment of 10c. The Con.Cal. & Va mine began to ship its accumalation of ore to the Morgan mill yesterday. The mill will begin to crush the ore to-day. At the weekly executive session of the San Franclsco Stock and Exchange Board some of the members objected to listing the capital stock of the Standard Consolidated Mining Company un- less a fee of $500 was pald. Accordingly it is in abeyance. The Yellow Jacket assessment of 26¢ per share will be delinquent in the company’s office at Gold Hill to-day. The Pacific Surety Company has declared a quarterly dividend of 2 per cent, payable im- m ediately. g Bonir CoNSOLIDATED—200 level — South drifs at the top of No. 1 upraise in the Gildea ledge was extended 10 feet and stopped temporarily, with 12 inches of low grade ore in the face.
