Isobars, or solid lines, connect points 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 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 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 of these conditions will produce an opposite result. THE 'WEATHER BUREAU. United States Department of Agricul ture, Weather Bureau, San Francisco, August 12, 1897, 5 P. m.

Aug. 12.— The stock market opened with a clear show of strength, especially in the grangers and high-priced industrials The In ternational stocks were helped by higher prices in London. Tobacco moved up 1%, Burlington and Northern Pacific about 1 i.er cent. Union Pacific opened with sales of 5000 shares from 12% to 13%, against 12 at last night's close. Sales of 8000 shares quickly followed at prices from 13% to 14%. The advance received considerable Impetus after the initial dealings, owing to the execution of an accumulation of commission house orders over night, wnich lnclud d all of the Lading properties and a sprinkling of the inactive specialties. The gains were especially noteworthy. The low-priced i- hares were neavily dealt In, with Union Pacific the feature. The Gould shares generally were particularly strong, with stern Union and Mis souri Pacific In exceptional demand. speculation continued with great animation, extending to the remotest recesses of long neg lected departments of the market. A block of Atlantic and Pacific shares was sold at 50 cents a nhare. Sugar tended strongly upward to a new high record of 148%. Ihe buying of tbe usually active shares continued in enorn.ous volume ai d with the upward tendency unabated Union! acific reached a point on heavy Loudon selling, but was well taken at the decline and rallied part a ly. Great Northern preferred rose 3%. Sales to noon, 383.500 shares such earnings as were reported to-day by the Southern Railway, Louisville and Nashville and Chesapeake and Ohio companies were sufficient proof .bat the business Improvement is not con fined to any one section or to those specially af fected by the movemui.i of grain. The fiiat two roads aie not lar^e carriers of grain, and the in crease in their earnings lor the first week 01 Au gust of 1, and lb per cent respectively must have resulted from an increase in gem ral traffic. It was a matter of grea*. encouragement indeed that even the returns of the Western and so-called granger roads upon analysis show that the gains being leported are due. chiefly to the free move ment of merchandise rather than to shipments of grain, Ihe increase in the earnings of Chesa peake and Ohio was more than 21 percent in com parison ul the corresponding week last year. '1 rathe returns for all of the more important rail way companies which make weekly reports are now at hand and they acid their testimony to that of the bank clearances and other valuable and significant, sia istics bearing upon the improved slate of the countiy's trade. Another large day's business was done on 'Change and another new high record of average prices made, interest was well distributed, as heretofore, and in a ditiou to those stocks which recently have been the favorites in speculation Sugar Refining developed renewed a< tivlty and large dealings were noted In Union Pacific, Denver and Gulf an. i Kansas and Texas shares. Among tbe comparatively Inactive slocks sharp advances were noted in Great Northern preferred and Pitts burg. Cincinnati, Chicago and St L mis. London bouses had large orders on both sides of the mar ket and the balance were against sellers. Arbitrage dealers reported, however, an increas ing scarcity of American stocks In the London market and were of the opinion that foreign liquidation was practically concluding. A notaole advance in Baltimore and Ohio made this stoc* conspicuous in the general circumstances, as was the case yesterday the market did not retain the full measure of the advance up to the close, fractional recessions being noted In a majority of the list. On light trading quotations for Government bonds were firm. A large and well-distributed business was transacted in railway aud miscella neous bonis and many noteworthy advances were made.

Stronger Eastern and foreign markets for wheat advanced December wheat in the local market to $1 50%. as compared with 49% on the curb yesterday. There seems an element of weakness surroandlng the market. If a fair break would come and shake out the small holders no doubt a quick rally would follow. 10:15 a. M. session. The phenomenal rise in wheat in the Chicago market has stimulated prices here. December, 51 51%@1 51%, May $1 51(fl»l 51 V*. Market acts heavy. 11:16 a. M- SESSION.

December opened and closed at 81 50%, May $1 49%. December barley, 94c Market acts heavy, .1 will take strong Eastern and foreign markets to huld present prices. small operators are carrying too large a load. Shippers have sold on every hard spot. Chicago. Long before the opening hour of the Board of Trade the room and corridors were crowded with brokers and clients. Heavy trading in wheat was done on the curb before the regular opening. First sales were made at Hlc in September. Later, strong French rabies worked the price up to 81V4C By the time the gong sounded the shorts had wor ried themselves Into a stew. Opening prices were 816, 8 c to 81 %c for September. May, 84c. The market seemed steady for about ten minutes, when New York sent large buying orders of i ep temter, which was the signal for a scramble upon the part of shorts, who did not step for one-quar ter fluctuations Any price was good enough, so they got cut Eirhty-three cents was tne figure the "price signal" worked up before it stopped, after s. fining at 81% c. Another twist at the price bo rd indicated Mc as she price lor September wheat. A flood of selling orders started the mar ket downward, which did no. s op until 823/ 8 was reached. Another wave of bull enthusiasm giap p.ed the market and succeeded in making a new high-water mark; tuii lime September touched 84% c. selling by clique brokers eased the wants of scons. After their demands were satisfied the sustaining power of the market seemed with drawn. Prices declined sharply, s.ptemcer closed at 83 % c . December 82 V»c and May 84 s%", with an eailci feeling oi the euro. The market was pretty fairly cleared of shorts. Wheat advanced 2%c without a reaction, it would not be surprising to see a liberal setback, which will undoubtedly come unless foreigners continue to buy liberally. Much of to-day's ad vance was brought about by shorts running to cover. The advance durin . toe past three or four days has been too rapid and not of a good character. A se.back would shake out weak holders and put wheat in the hand > of strong peo ple who will not be throwing it on the market upon every cent or two advance. Liverpool advanced IVifd for wheat. Paris flour was 1% francs, wheat 80 centimes higher. Hun gary reported wh-at advancing sharply. Reports from the Northwest were Dullish.
