EXPLANATION.
The arrow flies with the wind. The top fig
ures at station Indicate maximum temperature
for the 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 points of equal
air pressure; Isotherms, or dotted lines, equal
temperature. The word "high" means high
barometric pressure and Is usually accompanied
by fair weather; "low" refers to low pres
sure and is usually preceded and accompanied
by cloudy weather and rains. "Lows" usually
first appear or 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 Im
probable. With a "high" In the vicinity of
Idaho, 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.

EASTERN MARKETS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
NEW TORK, Feb. "Ll.— There was a sharp
recovery Ln the prices of stock* to-day Sn which
the engagement of gold for Import wa« the
predominant influence. The course of the ex
ctuixucfi market yesterday foreshadowed th*
early Importation of gold, ■ which is the direct
outcome of the stiffening In the rates for call
money. The amount of sterling exchange held
In New York Is variously estimated at from
$40,000,000 upward. A large part of It has been
used as collateral for loans and the large li
quidation of loans has released a quantity of
this exchange and brought it upon the mar
ket. In other words, the rise In money rates
makes It more profitable to bring home funds
which have been left abroad on account of the
higher rate hitherto prevailing there. The im
port movement of gold is likely, to continue un
less there should be a sharp advance in the
money market in London and Paris. The call
ing in of this country's gold credits abroad is
likely to put a stop tor the present to foreign
buying of our securities which has been large
of late an.l which continued even to-day. The
bears made an effort to retain control of the
stock market at the opening to-day by raid-
Ing a few of the specialties, notably Metropoli
tan Street Railway and Manhattan, but they
were unable to wipe out the gains shown in
sympathy with London. Trading was ner
vous during the flrst hour but after that the
upward tendency became fairly settled and
continued throughout the day with slight frac
tional I reactions, A distinguishing feature of
business was the large number of small lots of
stocks changing hands, reflecting a targe in
vestment demand. The day's highest level of
prices was not fully maintained, but net gains '
generally were from 1 to 2 points. Great j
Northern preferred gained 6 points on renewed I
rumors of a valuable distribution to-be made
to stockholders. The effort being made to ad
just rate differences on "Western and trans-
Continental lines was a favorable factor In the
market.
Money on call loaned at 3 per cent but later
became easier In response . to gold engage
ments. Rates were firmer in both the money
and commercial paper markets.
There was a sharp recovery In bonds to-day
in sympathy with stocks. Total sales, $2,
640,000. N

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
'- CHICAGO, Feb. 2S.. T Th» opening tone
THE SAX FRAXCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1898.
In wheat was somewhat irregular. May
was quiet and weak and opened at %@
%c lower at from $1 034 to SI 03, and
selling down inside of a minute or two to
*1 ui!4, then rallying to $1 034. July was by
no ineiias steady, displaying the weakness
that the earlier delivery did. July opened a
shade lower at S^ig'SS^c, where It hesitated
for a short time, then slowly advanced to
904 c. Though news was of a mixed charac
ter, that having a bearish tendency was ap
parently given the most attention at the start.
Liverpool was considerably lower, though not
enough to cause much fresh selling here.. The
most important bearish news was the Argen
tine shipments which amounted last week to
l,4Uti,uCo bustfcls, which was far from bearing
out the statements that the exportable sur
plus of that country would not exceed, 24,000.
uOO bushels. After the .first minute or bo of .
trading, however, this sort of news was lost
sight of. The much more confident tone of
Wall street and toe prospects of delay In de
cisive action over the Maine disaster Induced
many sellers of yesterday to turn buyers, and
this demand exerted a favorable influence on
prices immediately. Fear of a buying flurry
which might punish shorts also caused hedg
ing by the more conservative bears. July de- .
veloped more strength than did May, and more
trading was done In that delivery throughout.
The Letter party probably accumulated 1.500,000
bushels of July during- yesterday's selling
Uiror, and the amount of bidding for that op- j
tion during the morning developed the fact i ,
that the market was oversold. It resulted in j
a gradual advance In July to 90% c, May mean
while getting to $1 03%. A long period. of dull
ness followed, realizing by smaller scalpers
causing reactions to $1 04 and 90 ! - 4 c. - Afternoon |
prices gradually tended downward. A sharp
break in California wheat at Liverpool of 24d .
was talked of a good deal and helped to start
selling again. July closed at 89V*@S9%c; May,
SI 034.
Corn followed wheat, May closing Vie lower.
Oats were active and strong early, but eased
off later, closing unchanged.
In provisions there was the same disposition
to cover stuff sold yesterday as In grain. Near
the close the market became weaker. May
pork closed 150 lower. May lard and May ribs,
24c lower.

CALIFORNIA RAISINS IN NEW YORK. :
NEW YORK. Feb. 25.— The Journal of Com- j
merce says: Competition of California products i
has reduced the outlet for many foreign goods :
of similar character, during the past year or !
two, and among once prominent articles of ;
European growth in this market none seems to i
have felt this competition more than ' Valencia j
Raisins, which." before ' the time when Cali- '
fornia Raisins became an important factor, '
were In universal demand in the United States, :
and which even for some time thereafter ' held i
an Important position . among commodities !
necessary to supply of trade. . .. . . ~ ; . . j
Recent statistics show to what extent lm- i
ported Valenc!as~have . been, supplanted 1; by I
cheaper California fruit from a . table pre
pared by Jaime, ,> Morandy & Co. of Denla,
Spain, giving the total shipments of . Valencia j
Raisins at that port from 1850 to date,- some !
interesting deductions may be drawn. In all
these years until 1895 shipments -to the ' United' ■
States and Canada were largely regulated •by ;
the condition of supplies in the primary mar- i
ket, there being no question as to the amount ;
required for consumption here. But from that >
time to the present imported Valencia Raisins j
have been gradually displaced • by . California :
fruit, owing more, it is said, to low prices than :
to good quality of the latter. In 1894 imports
of Valencia Raisins at United States and Cana- i
dian ports were 133. quintals. The following
year but 59,806 quintals were imported. In |
ISO 6 the imports amounted to 83,726 quintals,
and In 1897 to 65,485 quintals, but it is under- I
stood that the greater part of the stock In both <
years went to the Canadian market. '." ,

FINANCIAL REVIEW.
NEW YORK, Feb. 25.— Bradstreet's Financial
Review to-morrow will say: Under the influ
ence of the Maine disaster the stock market
was unsettled at the end 'of last week. , Liqui
dation continued on Monday, the holiday on
the succeeding day creating a desire to cur
tail speculative engagements. ' On Wednesday,
in the face of heavy buying by London, the
market showed increased weakness and liqui
dation tendencies and continued this course
on Thursday, breaking' with some violence.
The hardening of interest under the withdraw
als of money for use in business at the In
terior and the consequent reduction of the
time loans added to the unsettled feeling and
the calling In of loans was among the chief
disturbing factors London was again a large
buyer at the breaks. Its total purchases in the
two days being estimated at over 100,000 shares,
though this was considered to be mainly spec
ulative and likely to result in selling on the
rally, which foreign operators believed would
ensue. Some large - Interests were purchasers
of the specialties, such activity being promin
ent in the Vanderbtlt stocks, in People Gas
and Rock Island and in the Pacific and Kan
sas and Texas. The bear people were, how
ever, very active In the progress of the de
cline and were rewarded with the forcing out
of a large amount of long stocks, through the
exhaustion of margins and the catching of
stop-orders.
Throughout the week the Traction stocks and
Sugar were especially unsteady and ready to
yield, indicating both that the prices for them
had been put to an unduly high level and that
their rise had attracted considerable weak buy
ing. Humors of all kind regarding alleged
discoveries about the loss of the Maine and
the probable effect on our relations with Spain
had free circulation and the market was too
demoralized on Thursday to take notice of
favorable circumstances, such as the drop in
exchange rates in response to the advance in
money here and the accompanying possibility
that p.ny future rise In Interest here would
have the effect of attracting gold from the
other side of the Atlantic.

BRADSTREET'S REVIEW.
NEW YORK. Feb. 25.— Rradstreet's to-mor
row will say: While business of a specula
tive nature has been quick to reflect the in
creasing strain In political affairs In .reduced
values and withdrawals of curtailments of ac
tivity in some lines, there Is little to Indicate
that the volume of distributive trade has been
reduced, and reports to Bradstreet's this week,
so far as the latter branch of business is con
cerned, are among the best received this year.
With few Important exceptions, the price situ
ation Is one of strength, while the enlarged
demand for coarse grains Is taken to reflect
the turning of . attention from high priced
cereals to those of a lower priced character.
I At the East last week's spurt in the dry
; good's trade at Boston does not seemed to have
, held, but at New York there is considerable
! more doing in the jobbing trade. The cotton
situation is one of firmness, reflecting a like
curtailment of production growing out of labor
i troubles and the firmness of raw • cotton In
! duced by good export demand. Wool is firm,
1 but the demand has perceptibly slackened, and
■ there Is less doing in manufactured goods. The
! best report as to the distribution trade made
: so far this year comes from the Central West.
; Spring trade there Is reported earlier than
i usual. . v, ,-.-;■
Kansas City, perhaps the most important
■ market for agricultural : Implements, in ■■ the
country, reports the demand exceeding all
; records. and pales limited only by the ' ability
ito deliver orders. The demand for Iron and
! steel at the West still continues large, and
] prices are firm. A feature or Chicago trade
i has been the placing of an order for 6000 ' tons
lof steel rails for a railroad In Alaska. Almost
I equally good reports rome from the . North
■ west, where trade is reported either fully
! equal- to or ahead of last year. The South
seems to have shared In the Improvement to a
notable extent.' The word Klondike accurately
! pictures the situation on the Pacific Coast.
1 All eyes appear to be fixed on the outfitting
I trade and- the transportation of men and sup
1 plies to the north. ' •..*■'-•

I DTJjJ'S REVIEW OF - TRADE.
NEW YORK. . Feb. 25.— R. G- Dun '. & Co.'s

; Foreign possibilities have much affected ■ specu- |
lation and caused - hesitation >In * come targe j
business operation*,; possibly accounting In part
for a checl^tn the rapid advance of wheat, but
Industrial production % continues 'larger than j
, ever/ a - few .: more ": works being added to ' the
active list, with a decrease In the number of
hands on ; strike . and : renewed , evidence that
the volume of business Is larger than In Feb
ruary of any previous year. a- Nor Is there any
symptom of a senseless erase based lon I rising
prices. The legitimate > export and s domestic
demand ,;? preaiaa : oloew rto the capacity of
works, and though there is no flighty advance
in any : line, ana . in all narrowness of profit
in a matter of complaint; new business for this
dull season is unprecedented. : .. .......
v\ heat continued its progress upward * until
$1 06% was reached on Monday, but declined
3^c later, as if there were tears that Spain
would somehow stop British vessels from tak
ing wheat across the water.' Any yielding
based on foreign . possibilities deserves little
notice, but the price has advanced about 10c
since Chicago speculators last took occasion to
shake oil weak followers, and the opportunity
for reaction was inviting. There is no abating
i occ cVt" 1 ? 1 demand. .; Atlantic ■ exports were
1.965.514 bushels, flour Included, for the week,
against 1,326,444 last year, and Pacific exports
1.5j6.3i(>, against 136,464 last year, and in view
or current - excitement these figures are more
,^? aoro?a or o?, nt v. than the aggregate for four weeks,
10,49b,912 bushels, against 6.588.415 last year
i.°i m i>« 1 i antic exports, and 4,053,028, against
1,011,246 from Pacific ports. Corn exports for
the week were 14.5 per cent less than last year,
but the cash price declined but slightly. The
spot price of cotton was not affected.
. It is not the season for much Improvement
in textile manufacture, but the cotton branch
£on*£i ned by the closing of the strike in one
xJ^X Ri y. er ' m »l and by the addition of some
works at the South.
The woolen manufacturer meets many can
cellations -especially in goods sold early with
out definite price, but is doing more than ever
at tnis season, though new business in the
higher grades of worsteds and woolens Is not
particularly encouraging. Sales, of wool are
