Explanation.
The arrow files with the wind. The top figures
at station indicate maximum t«mperatur*> for tbe
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 pen a of equal air pressure; iso
therms, or. dotted lines, equal temperature. The
word "high" means high barometric pressure and
Is usually accompanied by fair weather: "low"'
refers to low pressure, and Is usually preceded
and accompanied by cloudy weather and rami.
"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 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 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 ot these conditions
will produce an opposite result.

NEW TORE MARKETS.
NEW YORK, N. V.. Aug. 3.— The weekly Gov
ernment crop report to-day gives a favorable show
ing as to the wheat crop and shows that the d&m
.. age to corn In certain sections through hot winds
and d'ou lit Is cut without its i pen tilling feat
. ures. The lar^e sticks cf that cereal remaining in
farmers' hands'will be enhanced In value, and the
advance in price Is already resulting in a freer
movement to th markets Advances were gen
eral in the grain market to-day, the stimulus be
ing again the foreign demand. I-'arly engage
ments for export to-day were reported at 113
, leads, or over 900. bushels. Actual shipments
of grain were also heavy. The conditions of ihe
cereal markets were reflected In an active and
buoyant stock market, and the granger group
again assumed a lea lug position, reaching the
highest figures recorded during this movement.
In the general market trading was w-el. dis
tributed and many noteworthy advances were
scored. At no time since the upward movement
set in has tbe bullish enthusiasm run higher. A
pronouq ed weakness in the foreign exchange
market was abiut the only other development In
th' outide situation A constant increase in the
supply of commercial bills is now to he expected,
while It is reasonable to look for a falling off In the
demand from mercantile remitters. It seems
doubtful If tbe specie export point will be again
readied this s.ason, anil the opinion was ex
pressed that the next International movement of
goid will be tow-aid his country. Foreign bouses
were sellers of nearly all internationally listed
stuck to-day their total sales being est mated at
20.1.00 shares.
Except in those stocks in which this selling was
• the heaviest the disposition of foreign dealings
was without effect. Northern Pacific and Atchison
' bore the brunt of foreign selling, which apparently
was] of (jet man origiu and these stoc.s lacked the
J buoyancy" which marked the remainder of the
market. The most noteworthy movements in
prices took place in Consolidated Gas, Chicago Gas
and; sugar. An advance of over 7 points in the
first; name carried that stock 20 points above the
Friday level, -ucn a movement was reasonably
-.taken to reflet some important development in
.company's affairs, but all explanations hereto
fore suggested have met with denla.s. The fur
ther advance in Chicago Gas was followed by the
...announcement that actual consolidation of the
companies'hftd been effected and the cer'lfic*te of
■ .incorporation filed, but no particular explanation
. attended the advance In sugar or other noteworthy
movements in the general market.
Alarge volume of business was transacted In
the ibui d division, .where the tone was identical
with that of the stock market. Government bonds
svoing. railways active.

CHICAGO MARKETS.
CHICAGO, 111.. Aug. 3.-Trading in provisions
to-day was moderately active, but prices advanced
sharply In sympathy with a firmer bog market
and a falling off in receipts. Part of the improve
ment was lost on heavy realizing, mostly for New
York account, but it subsequently rallied on lib
eral buying by packers and a fair, speculative de
mand. Stocks of meats in store, instead of show
ing an Increase as was generally expected, actu
ally showed a decrease of . 8, 00c, 000 pounds. The
cash demand con Inues rather liberal. The firm
ness of the grain maikets was a' so a factor.
The cattle business generally was fairly good for
a Tuesday, the slowest day in the week, yet prices
were steady on the desirable kinds. All kinds of j
good butchers' stock was about tho same as last I
week. Texas cattle were steady, wim flftv loads I
on sale. Stockers were a trifle easier. Veal' calves
were 25c lower than last week.
In hogs trade took a.i upturn to-day, the bn k of
the stock se ling a s rong 6c higher and in some
cases 10c higher, closing strong.
Good sheep are scarce and sold fairly steady.

furnished by E. A. Bresse, Produce Exchange
grainbroker, 412 Pine street: ; ?*.V
San Francisco.
9:15 a. m. session.
Wheat opened strong, with many good buying
orders on hand fur outside account. Outside spec
ula.lon is growing rapidly, which Is undoubtedly
the result of good prices making the money mar
ket easier. December was wanted at $1 48%,
aeainst $1 46% on the - nrb yesterday afternoon.
At that time Wheat was a drug on the market,
with buying orders as well as speculation closed.
Wheat strong, December, $1 48%: May, nomi
nally, $1 60. December Bar cv, no sales.
10:15 A. m. session.
Stiong closing cables both from Paris and Liver

Chicago Wheat closed strong. I%** over yester
day's close. Just before the opening of this ses
sion December Wheat sold at $1 49% and May at
$151. At the opening of th' session a feeling of
depression seemed to overpower tra :ers, for what
reason appeared unaccoumab c. Ihe marke acted
very mucn as it it were going through a "still."
Buyers seemed to have deserted the ship. Brokers
witn sel im* orders were unab c o rind purchasers
uuti Decemb r had fallen to 81 47 Vs. where a Halt

probably slopped a turtber break.
May closed at $1 48%. December barley opened
at 94c and declined to 91%-, closing at 9 2 Vic
Wheat looks about bottom. No reason for the
break.

Wheat was in good demand at the afternoon
session. Buying by a prominent shipper scared
shorts into covering and restricted their trailing.
December wheat opened at 81 48%. declined to
81 48% and advanced to ft 48%.' with May at
*1 49% at the close. Barley is very much of the
"rubber ball" order. Offerings were liberal but
buyers were scarce. Decemb r closed at 90^4c,
against 94% cat the morning session.
Chicago.
Liverpool markets for wheat opened with a
strong advance this morning as compared with
the close on Friday last after h .vlng enj '>ed two
days' holiday. Paris reported wheat and flour
higher and excited, with farmers' deliveries prac
tically nothing.
The only favorable news which came from
France was brilliant weather.

Were buying right and left at all At untie ports
New York reported 1.0j0.000 bushels of No. 2
red winter wheat taken at three Atlantic ports to
day for account of the continent, not far from the
market quotation.
Mm leupolis reported rains over the spring
wheat country, which would resu>t In much dam
age.
At the opening this morning there was a strong
undertone to the wheat murk t. September
opened at 76®76%c, declined to 75% c, advanced
t076%c and declined to 75^ic, from where the
price worked up to 77 Vie. with a reaction to 77c at
the close. Lecember closed at 78% c, May 1898,
81440.
'1 ue crowd was disposed to fight the advance.
Their efforts at different times looked rea-onably
succes ful. Shortly b fore the close foreigners be
gan buying again, which was more than the bears
could stand. They, too, turned buyers and helped
the advance along, shorts are becoming tired and
will off' r less resistance the farther the advance

An extract from Le Petit Journal (France) of a
recent date says: "There was good-growing
weather .hi- week; sin ry, but not too warm;
one can wish nothing better; there have been
tome storms, but they were not of Importance
enough to cause any damage.
"The harvest is making rapid progress, but as
the ripening proceeds one notices the importance
of the deficiency
"The situation is Just as we have descibed be
fore—the departments situated aronnd Pari-, are
a'l very discontented. The estimated deficit, based
on the returns of 1896. varied between 10 and 30
percent, according to the parts of the country.
"In the northei n regions the crop is good, as good
as last year, though in some districts it is repor ed
that the blossoming and the fecundation did not
lane place under favorab c co ditlous and that
tips of the ears are empty of grain.
"Our prognostications a"re thus realized, and the
deficit amounts to 7 j er cent in the crop and from
10 to 30 per cent in the appearance of the reck
oning. * enainiv our productions will not amount
to 100,000.000 hectoliters: some pessimistic opera
tors estimate I. less than 90.000.000.
"'lhus we must have recourse to importations to
fill the needs of the consumption to a degree as
yet impossible to foretell. As we have already
said, France importing wheat In large quantises
Is a novel spectacle, since last year we did not Im
port more thau 1.5J0.000 hectoliters, against
3,000,000 and 5,000,000 in former years. As we
will have to buy foreign wheat It is pretty certain
that the sellers wll hang the sugar-plum up high.
"1 his week two or three steamers of red winter
wheat embarked rom the United Slates. I hese
ships cannot arrive before the Ist day of Septem
ber.
•The future depends entirely upon the farmers;
we will not cease to repeat our opinions to that
effec ."
While In corn the price shows no great apprecia
tion, yet to-day's market was the stioa est in
many monihs. Good buying orders came in from
the southwest. Their were accompanied by bad
crop reports. Corn will work lowly until a few
cents mor- is added to the ice. -Many will tight
an advance until the price passes 3oc. when they
will figure up. the situation that there Is sometbin;
behind the advance, and will then take the long
side. Under present conditions corn is cheap
at 40c.

A' Kentucky Snake Story.
Gus Stewart was over irom Wildie Sat
urday, aud, told us the following snake
story: ; .
A snake came upon a gang of chicken*
on the outside of the yard, caught one
and swallowed it. He followed the chicks,
which by this. time had passed through
the fence. His snakesbin reached
through, grabbed another and swallowed
it. The old hen coula stand It no longer
and pounced upon him,' but having tint-k
--ens inside on both sides- of llio lenco he
could neither, go forward nor backward.
Ihe hen tore i tie snake to pieces and re*
leased her chicks, which were alive.—
