O Clear ® Partly Cloud) @ Cloudy ® Rain® Snow SHADED AREAS SHOW PRECIPITATION DURING PAST (g_nnun; EXPLANATION. | The arrow files with the wind. The top fig- ures at station indicate minimum temperature for the days; those underneath it, if any, the | amount of rainfall or of melted snow in inches and hundredths during the last twelve hours. Isobars, or solid lines, connect points of equal alr pressure; isotherms, or dotted lines, equal | temperature. The word “high” means high | barometric pressure and {s usually accompanied by fair weather; “low’ refers to low pres- | sure and is usuaily 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 nd south along the coast, rain is probable; but when the “low'’ is inclosed with {sobars of marked curvature, rain south of Oregon is im- robable. With a “high” in the vicinity of daho, and the pressure falling to the Cali- fornia coast, warmer weather may be expected | in summer and colder weather in winter. The | reverse of these conditions will produce an opposite result. WEATHER REPORT. | | | (120th Meridian—Pacific T!mevg SAN FRANCISCO May 11. 1888, § p. m.

EASTERN MARKETS. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. NEW YORK, May 11.—The acuve demand | for stocks and bonds was renewed with great vigor and confidence to-day. An ecormcus | volume of business was done on the Stock F: change and prices are subsmantially higher | ali arourd A large number of the lead'ng &nd a great many more have risen one point | or over In the price as a result of th: day's| trading. The upward movement was not re- sumed until a period of hesitation and in- certainty at the opening, during whizh pri es in nearly all cases declined. This heaviness was due to the sharp declines established in | London for American quotations before the | opening here and to the placing of selling or- | ders for London account at the opening. There | was also a well-organized raid against a num- ber of leading industrial stocks. Tobacco were conspicuously singled this attack, but the bears were in haste to cover their short contracts even at the small decline achieved. Evidently many of the large bull operatc who had taken the profits yes- terday were also anxlous to get back and saw an inviting opportunity at the lower level of prices resuiting from yesterday's declines. The demand end many blocks of bought. By the time the news of the Wall- street attitude had rcached London that mar- ket faced about and sent orders to New York t0 by Although there was realizing on a large scale at different times during the day, the recessions in prices were insignificant. The day closed with a renewed burst of activity and prices at about the top level. The belief that the termination of the war is near at hand was the impelling motive for the strength of the market. A small engagement of gold for export dem- onstrates that exchange is still at the gold point. The bend market showed quite fully in the ectivity and strength of the stock market. Atcusson adjustment fours advanced 1% per cent. Total les, $3,475,000. Prices of vernment bonds were unchanged throughout.

CHICAGO, May 1L.—The provision market to-day shook off the lethargy under which it has been laboring while foreign markets were on a rampage. It was a bull market from start to finish and led all others in point of specu- lative Interest. No new feature of the phases of the business that are open to public in- | spection could be discerned to account for the | great strength developed, and it must therefore be supposed that something in the internal working of the packing business had not until to-day been quite ready for the move that lae its expression in the provision pit. All the | 1arge packers took a hand in the buylng. Ar- | mour, Swift and the Cudabys were said to be | the Heaviest purchasers. The best business of | the session was in lard. As this commodity is traded In by the hundredwelght iis advance of 6ic is equivalent to $2 16 per tierce. To- ward the middle of the session moderate realiz- ing sales caused temporary reactions, but the | highest rates of the day were prevailing at | the close. July pork closed at $11 87%, an ad- vance of 80c, lard at $6 55, or 65c up, and ribs | for July at $6 05, a net gain of 45c. ‘A 'steady opening in the Liverpool wheat mar- ket imparted a better tone here at the start. | Trade was light. July began at $1 124@1 14%%, | %c higher to 1%c lower than yesterday, and | hiela steady around $115 for a time, with' little | for sale below 3114 The greater part of the { short interest in July had presumably becn | forced to cover and traders were generaily dis- | inclined to enter into fresh trades. Extreme nervousness still characterized the business | and fluctuations during the greater part of tne forenoon were in straight 4c jumps and tumbles. Liquidation set In shortly after the opening and from $115 July tumbied to §1 10, | rellying raptdly to $113. Realizing was at- tempted on every recovery, and resuited in the | market ually quieting down around $1 11, Closing Liverpool cables quoting deciines of 3,d for May, %d for July and 24d for Septem- Der caused 4 fresh decline here. July touched $103% and railied feebly, closing at $1 10%, a net loss of 3%c. May, which opened 10c lower at 4175, recovered. to {1 80, closing 6e net lower at A Trading in corn was brisk, owing to the mi- gration of scalpers from the wheat pit.

BOSTON, May 11.—The American Wool and Cotton Reporter will say to-morrow: The mar- ket is somewhat paradoxical, the tone being more buoyant than a week ago and the sales somewhat less. The better feeling which is encountered on all sides is due rrimarily to the appearance.in the market of a larger quota of mills than has been the case for some time. While prices have not advanced any, the mar- ket has improved to the extent that the quo- tations are not quite so nominal as they were a week ago. The principal inquiry this week has been for medium fleece wools, suitable for Government requirements The sales of the week in Boston amount to 654,000 pounds domestic and 413,000 pounds for- eign, making a total of 1,067,000 pounds, against a total of 1,125,000 pounds for the previous weel.

The evilly disposed person who invented spring-heel shoes has thousands of ugly at feet for which to render arcount. The nervous strain on the body, caused Dby the pounding of the heelless shoes on the hard ground, is very considerable. And more than that, it is almost impossi- ble to carry the weight on the balls of the feet under such circumstances. Of course, high heels are equally injurious, but a heel of medium height with good width will allow the instep to develop as it should. To cultivate the instep to its proper arch no exercise is so effective as this: Stretch the foot downward, the toe al- ways endeavoring to reach a point just beyond itself. —Katherine E.
