Is usually accompanied by fair weather: "low"
refers to low pressure, and is usually preceded
and accompanied by cloudy weather and rains.
"Lows" usually first appear on the Washington
coast. Wh n the pressure la high in the intcrioi
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 improb
able. With a "high" in tile vicinity of Idaho, and
trip 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.

NEW YORK. N. V., May 8. - There was
considerable pressure to sell Sugar, Tobacco and
St. Paul at the opening of business at the Stock
Exchange. Tobacco was the special feature, break-
Ing from 651/2 to 62. rr > 6 . the Indictment Of the man
agers having led to selling for both accounts. Gold
engagements 'to the extent of 8 1,500,000 also had
an adverse influence and London houses and local
operators sold fairly large amounts of the leading
issues. The loss in prices ranged from V to %
per cpnt, the Industrials, Mobile and Ohio, the In
ternationals and the Grangers scoring the greatest
declines. The railroads were sold on reports of
crop damage In the West and .-outhwest. In the
afternoon trading when it was found that but little

ored to cover and prices advanced all along the
line. ■

CHICAGO MARKETS.
CHICAGO, li.t.. May 8. — Although wheat
opened firm this morning there was lacking to the
tone that buoyancy and vigor which were the pre
vailing characteristics yesterday. The modera
tion in strength was doubtless caused by the
Weather Bureau's report on Kansas for yesterday,
which gave the maximum temperature in that
State at 88 degrees. Chinch-bug reports were still
in circulation, but a more conservative tone to the
dispatches referring to tnem . was noticeable. A
bull disappointment lay in the Liverpool cables.
which did not fully respond to yesterday's bulge on
this side. An advance of but Vi 1 ' was quoted nt
that place.
Receipts at Chicago were 12 cars am! 87.000
bushels were taken from store. North western
arrival were 351 cars against 486 last Friday and
154 a year ago. Berlin closing cables were 1 to l A /i
marks higher. Paris was unchkoced to 5 centimes
lower for flour and unchanged for wheat. Antwerp
wag unchanged. Kxport Clearances were light at
233,161 bushels. Opening prices were the best for
the day, the market declining gradually during
the balance of the stolon, the close being at
almost the Inside. July wheat opened from t>4 ' 4
@,t>4V2C, declined to 63% c, closing at 6814 c, s^c
under yesterday. Estimated receipts for to-mor
row, 10 cars.
Cora— Finding no help in the Wheat market, this
morning was disposed 10 relinquish a portion of
yesterday's enhancement. Ibe parties who had
covered felt inclined to reins:ate their trades, the
performance of which proved detrimental to
prices. Liverpool cables were quiet and steady.
Keceipis were 145 cars and •J54.-JHI bust. els were i
taken from store. Export clearances were -67,
-262 bushels. July Corn opened at SUS/gi-, sold be
tween 30y 2 @ > 295 /^c, closing at 29^ic y^^c
under yesterday. Estimated receipts for to-mor- !
row 145 cars.
oais lust a part of yesterday's appreciation
throueh weakness derived from the other markets.
The hot weather was not conducive to exertion,
and traders were disinclined to do much business.
Receipts were 141 cars, and 69,620 bushels were
taken from store. July Oats closed undir yes
terday. Estimated receipts for to-morrow 145
cars.
FLAX— Was easy. Cash. t»sc; May, 84c; July,

PROVISIONS— No encouragement was to be
obtained from the hog market which was weaker
at 5(5, 10c lower tty* morning, consequently prod- i
uct made no attempt at advancing. The weakness
of gram was also an adverse influence. At the
close July pork was 17Vjc under yesterday; July
lard 6@7%c lower, and July ribs 7i,/jc lower.

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.
NEW YORK, N.Y., May 8.-R. G. Dun A Co.
in their weekly review of trade to-morrow will say
The exports of 96,850,000 gold this week have pn>
dured no monetary disturbance, and this Is at once
proof of the soundness of financial conditions and
of. the prevailing confidence In better things to
come. It do>s not matter. whether the gold is re
quired for Russia or anywhere else: it would not
go from this, rather than other countries. If there
were not balances to meet. Much of the hesitation
at present U due to temporarily reduced demand
in some industries, and in iron and steel the power
fit tl>e new combination Is being generally tested
by refusal of crders, so tha. production exceeds
consumption, but the low consumption exceeds
new b':yin;r. ■"■'.'-.• ■.:''■■
Th«geueml irregularity of. prices and slackness
of demand for finuii . d products does not prevent
the marking up 01 prices by combinations, but are
largely due to doubt whether such prices as are
fixed can be maintained. Piglron is weal: at the
East and also at Pltrsburg; tin steady and lead
hlielilly lower, and American t;nulate 30c below
foreign. • ; - . . * . .- •• • . ....„-..•<
For textile manufactures the situation is trying
THE SAX FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, MAY 9, 1896.
Cotton mills have a fairly active demand, though
not equal to their normal output, and for many
months have been accumulating goods, hoping for
better things, so that some are now stopping, al
though the demand for good grades, with higher
prices for cotton, has helped to a small advance In
nrtces.
Print cloths are %c higher, but some other
crudes have declined, no that the average of all
quotations is slightly lower.
Woolen innnutactnrers find prices of wool sag-
Ktnjl both here and abroad. The decline at London
reaches about 6 per cent, while the average of
quotations by Coates Bros.. Philadelphia, was
nearly 1 per cent lower May 1, and prices have
ix-cii further reduced by concession to clear off
stocks.
At the West traders are buying much above the
parity of seaboard prices and many growers are
refusing to sell, believing that the upward spurt
of last year will be repeated. Sales for the week
have been less than half a week's full consump
tion.
Men's woolens show no improvement, out there
is more active buying in (tunnels, and the demand
for fancy dress goods Is encouraging, though for
plain goods it ii but moderate.
Cotton speculation has lifted the spot price to
8.31 cents, and profits have been realized from the
men who bkve bold cotton they did not own; but
it is still the fact that tbe outlook for next fall's
crop ib unusually favorable, while stocks here and
abroad exceed all possible demands under Septem
ber 1.
Failures for tbe week have been 238 in tbe
United States against 227 last year, and 24 in
Canada against 34 last year.

THE STOCK MARKET.
Th« Boom- in Mining Stocks Increase*
in Force. ' t '
Yesterday was the most exciting day yet in the
present boom. Business was very - heavy and
prices made a farther advance. Sates on the noon
informal session were enormous, and Chollar
touched S2 63. Potosl $1 10, Best A Belcher * 1 30.
Yellow Jacket 80c, Con. Cal. <tt Va. $3 30, Ophlr
$1 90, Hale <£ Norcross $1 60, and so on. Occi
dental reversed the order, 'and touched its best
price on the morning session, selling up to $2 30
and falling back to $165 on the noon session,
though it subsequently recovered to 92 25. Thls (
stock has been very freaky during the cxc ltemen
of the past four or rive days.
On the afternoon call there was a lull in trading
and sales were much smaller, with a correspond
ing decline in prices. . Chollar fell to 91 95, Potosi
to 91 05, Con. Cal. & Va. to $2 90, and so on. Some
of the lower priced stocks, however, showed an ad
vance over the noon session.
The close was dull and prices wore generally
lower, though Chollar recovered to $2 20 and Po
tOM to $1 10. The lower priced stocks were all off
ami weak. UTitiiTfli
The sudden boom has caught more or less deal
ers napping as usual, and the announcement of the
failure of several firms of brokers showed that the
sharp advance is dealing bard blows to the shorts.

produce
Hens are rather cheaper. Meats show no change, '

Fruits sell at last week's prices as a rule, but all
Spring kinds, such as Cherries, Berries, etc., are
dearer than usual, as the frosts cut down the sup
piv materially.
Vec<'tables are about the same.

Fishy, but Possible.
You can believe this or not, as you
choose, but every man at the Locks will ;
tell you it is so.
While the pleasure-seekers were gazing ]
indolently into the canal, thinking how >
much better time they were having than ,
those fellows down there in the town, they s
saw a ripple on the water. ,
The next thing they discovered was a
catfish, nine inches long, suspended some ]
little distance from the water and coming s
in thfir direction. As it got nearer they
saw that the poor little fish was tight in
the grasp of a huge water-snake, ten or }
twelve feet long. After coming very near
the ba# k the snake discovered the 1•<
pleasure-seekers, and. seeing that he could {
not land and gorge himseif, he swam l
around in circles waiting until some of the
boys sent a negro for a shotgun. After be- i
ing shot the snake, having nothing further
to do, sank to the bottom.— Atlanta ]
Chronicle.
Got the Wrong Mini.
Old Mr. and Mrs. Shuman, from Bryan, i
went to town, and in coins to the hotel !
for dinner saw a crowd around the Jus
tices' Court, says the Atlanta Constitu- !
tion. The old couple, with pardonable
curiosity, inquired the cause of the gather
ing. They were informed that a man was
on trial for beating his wife. Edging their
way through the bystanders to get a look
at the prisoner, the old lady whispered to
her husband: "What a murderous look-
Ing creature the prisoner is! I'd be afraid
to get near him." "Hush!" warned bar
husband. "That isn't the prisoner; he
hasn't been brought in vet. "It isn't?
Who is it, then?" "It's the Judge."
