A New York financial journal says of silver: *India continues to buy silver on a large scale, notwithstanding the limitations enforced by a year of bad crops and famine in certain dis- tric The shipments from London to the British East Indles for the eleven months ending with November are officially given at £6,017,165 this year, against £4,5 in 1896, showing an increase of per cent; and atthe lower prices of the metal which have prevailed ar the increase in the actual quantity of ve been 40 per cent at least. n the other hand the shipment from London to China this year have been only £40L597, or £258,054 less than in 1595. This has been partly made up by larger exports from San Fran- cisco directly and by shipments from Aus- tralia. Nearly all the silver from the Broken Hill mines now goes to China instead of Lon- don.” NO MORE FUN FOR THE BROKERS. the For some years Produce Exchange brokers have celebrated the close of the year | by making things hideous on the floor of the Exchange on December 31. bombs have been thrown around promiscu- ously and the members literally bombarded with flour. Crowds have gathered about the doors, attracted by the smoke and cannonade and the day has been the sensation of the downtown district. But the authorities of the Exchange have determined to put a stop to the frolic, and yesterday morning Caller Bunker read from his dais an order forbid- ding the usual sport and imposing a fine of §20 for each infraction thereof. It remains to be seen whether the brokers will tamely sub- mit to this quietus on their time-honored fun or not. O Clear ® Partly Cloudy ® Cloudy ® Rain® Snow SHADED AREAS SHOW PRECIPITATION DURING PAST 12 HOURS EXPLANATION. The arrow flies with the wind. The top fig- ures 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 points of equal air pressure; isotherms, or dotted lines, equal temperature. The wind “high” means high barometic pressure and is usually accompanied with fair weather; “low™ refers to low pres- sure and is usually preceded and accompanied by cloudy weather and rains. “‘Loy first appear on the Washington coast. 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” is Inclosed with isobars of marked curvature, rain south of Oregon is im- probable. “high” in the vicinity of Idaho, fornia coast, warmer weather may be expected in summer and colder weather in winter. The reverse of these conditions will produce an oprosite result. THE WEATHER BUREAU. (20th Meridian—Pacific Time.) SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 30, 5 p. m.

ALEXANDER McADIE, Local Forecast Official. EASTERN MARKETS. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. NEW YORK, Dec. 3).—To-day"s stock market was remarkably narrow and firregular, the highly speculative securities absorbing prac- tically the whole of the limited dealings, in which 1o one but professional traders took any part. There was no reflection of any news in the course of prices. There was evidence of large realizing in some of the securities of local corporations which have recently been ad- vanced by the buying of a combination of inter- ests. But the declines thus effected in these stocks invited buying again and restored the earlier losses, in some cases carrying them ma- terially above the previous level. Metropolitan Street Railway was the most conspicuous in the group, going over a range points. Man- hattan moved less extensively in sympathy. Consolidated Gas fell 3 points on the admitted failure of the attempted local gas combination, but covering of shorts brought-it back to last night's close. Other specialties moved with equal jrregularity and the changes on the day are small.” Pennsylvania enjoyed the benefit of current reports of heavy earnings by that com- pany and touched 115, but reacted on profit- taking. A feature of the day in Wall street was the very great strength of the exchange market, actual rates for sterling being %@, There is still some demand to satisfy for re- mittances to Europe in payment of dividends and interest on American securities. Exchange bankers attribute the strength of to-day’s market to an investment demand, and this investment, they say, is based on pros- pects of cheaper local rates for money. A fall in the local rates for money would lead to renewal of the tending of credits abroad, nevertheless there was no evidence of soften. ing in to-day’s money market, no loans being reported at less than 3% per cent and others being made at 4 per cent. The sub-treasury was a debtor at the clearing house again to- day to the extent of over $1,000,000, and the repletion of the money market from that quar- ter is expected to continue until after the ena of the year. Transactions In bonds were not on a scale, but prices were firmly held. Total sales, $1,675,000. United States 2s rose 3 bid, the 5 coupon % and the new 4s %. Tatzl sales of stocks to-day were 162,400 BOSTON. BOSTON, Dec. 30.—Atchison, 18i; Bell Tel- ephone, 26§1:; Burlington. 9%c: Mexican Cen. tral, 5%: Oregon Short Line, 18%. CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET. CHICAGO, Dec. 30.—In wheat Liverpool showed about ¥%d decline at the opening here, which although little more than half of the drop here yesterday, was apparently the cause for the easiness at the start. Northwestern re- ceipts were quite liberal. Cablegrams were re- celved reporting reductions in estimates of Ar- gentine crop, of hot winds damaging wheat in New Zealand, of unfavorable weather for crops in the interior of Russia, and of small ocks at the port of Odessa. The export clear- ances from Atlantic and Gulf ports were very heavy, equal to 940,000 bushels in wheat and flour. December wheat acted about as it had been doing for some days, as if inclined to drop its premium over May. ‘The trading in it Was small. It could easily have been ad- vanced to almost any desired price by the buying of perhaps less than 100,000 bushels, and { it is evident the bull party in it were favor- able to the decline. May declined to 92%c, but a little better feeling was noticeablie just before the close. May recovered to 9214@92%c under some covering by shorts. Those were the rul. ing figures at the close. Eorn was rather negiected and ruled dull. May closed %c lower. In oats tradil was fairly active, though prices kept within a narrow range. ten- dency was downward in sympathy with wheat, May closing e lower. Provisions kept within a narrow range. Prices were affected by the decline in wheat. May DO‘l’ekd closed 5c lower; May ribs and lard .chang L. “The leading futures ranged as follows: Articles. ___|Open|High. [Low.
