word **h leh" means high barometric pressure and

refers to low pressure, and is usually preceded

"Lows" usually first appear on the Washington
coast. When tbe pressure is high in the interior
and low along the coast, and the Isobars extend
north and south alone 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

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
NEW YORK, N. V., sept. 17 To-day's market
was strong and the average level of prices was
considerably raised as a result of the day's trading.
It was a no iceable fact, however, thai the great
est activity was co fined to spots. The gains were
also spasmodic in character, and it could not be
Baid that there was any simultaneous advance in
the whole list. During the peri <ds while individ
ual stock or group of slocks was being advanced
the general list showed a disposition to fall into
neglect and to ha t the advance, It must be said,
however, that the spasms of activity to-day went
the rounds of pretty much the whole market. .

LONDON MARKET.
NEW YORK, N. V., Sept. 17.— Tbe Evening
Post's london financial cablegram says: The
stock markets were better here to-day. as opera
tors are returning from their holidays and the au
tumn season Is beginning. Americans opened un
certain on New York prices, but soon rallied, and
when It was found thai New York was buying
again prices bounded up at the close. Louisville
aud Nashville, which touched 61 '/2 this morning,
closed "at 64 bid. There are ; indications of an
easier mon.-y market at the moment. Two and a

will be relent to the market until next montn.

REVIEW OF 'iHK STOCK MARKET.
, NEW YORK, N. V., Sept. 17.— -In its review of
the stock market Bradstreet's to-morrow will say:
This week has seen another wide, active and in
the main an exceeding y bullish specula ion.
Further records have been made throughout the
list, some of tbem of v very remar.iab'e charac
ter, and tbe attention of tbe market bad passed
with rapidity from one to another part ot the list.
Public buying o.i a iar^e scale has been n feature
and there w.is also considerable purchasing for
London account, though Kurope probably sold
moie stocks than it uiibt. . here was marked
irregu ariiy in the movement of prices an I a nam*
ber diverse influences, tome ot ihem of an un
favorable nature, made themselves apparent.
Th- railroad earnings repor. ed contl iue to bear
out the mi st favorable view that can be taken of
the t attic situation. '1 he outbreak M yellow lever
attheSiuth cad, of course, an unfavorable influ
ence upon several southern proper ies, particu
larly . ouisviile and Nashville shares; bu. the
chief unsettling factor of the week is the balden
ing of money rates. It wou d appear that some of
the leaders are inclined to take a conservative
view of the situation, and so far as possible pre
vent tbe market running to a dangerous extreme.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
CHICAGO. III.: Sept. 17. -This was one of the
days when the opening quotations a*. Liverpool:
had some effect on the start. The traders who
bought wheal at Liverpool at an advance of i/ 2
percental, as that market was quoted before busi
ness commenced bee, paid about -/ 2 d more for it
than I. was selling for at' the close >-f the day be
fore, December starting at 93Vs@9--%c. There
was some suspicion on the start that the Liver-'
pool market was being manipulated and this
caused a momentary reaction to 931,4**, out the
market quickly reacted again to 9 !!%■-. For more
than an hour the buying Induced by the strength
at Liverpool was sufficient to maintain the price
at or above the opening figures.
The English market kept gaining till its clo-a,
when it reached from S/^d to li.4d Improvement
for the day. While thai ad va cc was in progress
the market here though quite dull was firm, but
alter the closing cables were in It began :o weaken.

advance by telling of intense heal and locusts in

Corn was uncompromisingly heavy. The frosts
reported had no influence in stemming the bearish
current, and the piice after the fir-it few minutes
kept oo a steady decline, continued heavy receipts
at length having their effect
Oats were very slow and weak, influenced by the
corn and wheat decline. Lack of speculation was
aiso a weakening factor.
Provisions were remarkably firm considering
the weakness of the grain markets. Thep ovision
crowd was evidently over its scare, and shorts
were eager buyers of ail products, . A feature was
the large European demand for lard Part of the

BRAOSTK.KI'S REVIEW.
NEW YORK, N. V., sept. 17.— Bradstreet's to
morrow will say: Notwithstanding unseasonably
warm weather and the appearance of yellow fever
in several Gulf States, checking locally the dlstri
lion 01 merchandise, business throu:hnut the
country has increased more than anticipated. The
center of improvement is Chicago, whh h fur
nism-s the mo l favorable trade report within five
years. Advices f.om Kan-is C l.y, Omaha. St.
Paul and St. I.ouis also reflect aclivl:y in demand
among jobbers and wholesaler*. Theie Is a tem
porary stimulus to business at Savannah, owing
to the withdrawal of competlllo 1 from merchants
at towns cut off by Ihe fsver quarantine. Chatta
nooga, Memphis, Atlanta, A u.usta. ..a. vest on, and
even St. Louis anticipate a temporary falling off In
luslness owing to the interruption 10 traffic in the
Gu.f States and adjoining t rritory.
'ibe practical settlement of the bituminous coal
stri-ce, a turtber ii>iug tide of iemaiid for iron and
steel products, the withdrawal from the market
of some manufactures of woolens, *-.\.r.iorllnaiily

Ca's Weekly Be vl-w of Trade ia Its issue to

Tl.e replenishment of stocks cannot ,be half fin

I r ivment a tew weeks ago are now finding it so

sumers as well as dealers have also to supply
men-selves after years of enforced • cooomv, and
wni.e their power to purchase is increasing every
day and their actual buyin* al retail, reasons for
apprehension ar* not apparent. When the ii ie
changes after four yetrs of depression It does not
fall again after four weeks. The wheat market
has dec.ined more than 5 cents on account of crop
reports wblcn promise larger prosp-riiv, and corn
and cotton are bo.b a 1 it or lower tor like reasons-
Yet estimates of the highest financial authuri
t es regarding requirements from this country are
no, sm Her but iargir than bef re, wnlle better
