New YORK, Nov. 2l.-The market open
ed about as it closed and remained dull and
without feature of any kind all day. Fluc-
tuations were slight. The market is in a
discouraging condition. Commission
houses report no orders of any kind. Man
itoba was marked up suddenly from 9012
to 1917, and there seemed to be demand
for cash stock. This may have been sim
ply for effect. The Northern Pacifics
were steady, though it was ex-
pected there might be an ava
lanche of the preferred offered.
AS the second mortgage does not cover the
lands east of the Missouri river, the pre-
ferred still possesses a value. Canadian
Pacific notified the exchange that they
would issue the balance of their stock,
amounting to some sac, 100000. The mar
ket was advanced sharpley in the closing
moment, reversing of the tactics pur-
sued yesterday. 1t was sufficient to close
stocks at about the best prices of the day.
The bears do not seem to succeed very
we'll in their attempts to bring out long
stock. Total transactions to-day 236, 100
shares.
There is some borrowing demand for
the following: Jersey Central, Northern
Pacific preferred, Michigan Central, I'm
ION Pacific, New York Central, st. Paul
& Manitoba. But good observers say this
dest not necessarily indicate any consid-
cradle short interest, for many of the
large houses are borrowing stocks to put
IN their time loans to take the place Of
stocks which have been sold. There was
large number Of stock operators and
brokers congregated at the Windsor last
night, and it was generally expected the
market would be lower this
morning. Commack, Woershoffer and
Hutchins were very bearish, and said the
decline of yesterday should have come on
Monday, owing to the announced railway
troubles west of Chicago.
The Vanderbilt brokers are not talking
quite 30 bullish and Barton thinks the con-
traction of the currency little later on
may prove disturbing element. Morgan
thought last evening that there was not
much money in the market in either direc-
ton, and if prices were down in the morn
ing they would be up again in the
afternoon Mr.. Guerney had no interest in
the western stock, but expected to see
lower quotations.
Mr.. Flower had read no advices from
the cable of a break in the price of tickets
and therefore disbelieved the reports of a
cut yesterday between st. Paul and Chica-
go. friend of Alexander Mitchell re-
ceived telegram from the latter last
evening stating that the st. Paul was not
for war at all, and all that he was seeking
was the settlement of traffic business and
percentages upon fair basis.
The resignation of j. D.
Laying, superintendent of the Chicago
Northwestern, it is reported,
will result in a number of other changes
of the officials. Mr.. Laying, it Is under
stood, when he took charge brought with
him number of eastern gentlemen who
went into positions in the gift of the cor
poration, and as the appointment ard
continuation in Office of these gentlemen
it is understood led to Mr.. Layng's re-
tirement, further changes are unavolda-

overlooked its banks tonight and large
portion of the northeastern part of the

lumber yards, furniture factories and coal
yards suffer heavily. At z o'clock the
water was three feet deep in the Office of
W. B. Dickson and Co.'s lumber yard. The
loss cannot be estimated now but will
probably aggregate $250,0O0. The rail-
road tracks at the east union depot are
covered with water.
MORE DAMAGE By THE FLOOD.

Cartersburg on the Vandalia railroad,
twenty miles west of this city. was washed

METEOROLOGICAL.
Rain Record at Sacramento from
Fec. 1852, to 7 &c. 81, 1882.
Correct Tables Of Temperature and Rainfall
for Thirty Years Important
Meteorological Da-a.

rPrevarsd for the RECORD UsIoS by J. A. Barwick,
Sergt Signal Corps, U.s.A., Sacramento-l
The following tables Of the meteorology
of Sacramento is probably very good rep
resentatiye type Of the interior valley
climate of California, and are worthy of
close studv. The rain tables do not extend
anv further hack than 1853, with the ex.
cention of December, 1852, which is used
for the purpose of completing the winter
season of 1923 There was 30 much dis
cussion and dispute about the rainfall be-
tween September, lS49, and December,
1852, that / concluded to drop it, and in
clude nothing in the composition of the
following tables except those observations
that we're taken by we'll known and accu-
rate observers. Tne records of rainfall and
mean temperature from 1853 to 1874 were
taken from the records of DR.. I. NJ. Lo-
gan, as kindly furnished by E. F. Smith,
Secretary OF the State Agricultural Society,
and from 1875 to July, 1877, the informa.
ton was obtained from Dr. F. W. Hatch,
Secretary of the State Board of Health, and
from S. H Gerrish, local meteorological
observer of this city. From July, 1877, to
date, the observations were from the rec
ords on file in the United States Signal
office in this city. The tables will be
found to consist of the rainfall for each
month and for each season of the year,
beginning with the winter season and end
ing with the tall. The same can be said OF
the mean temperature tables also. At the
end of each table thers will be found the
mean average monthly seasonal and annual
rainfall, temperature, etc, for the past
twenty nine or thirty years, as the table
ind 80 hxrf - The fahIcQ
were prepared with the greatest care, and
composed in such a manner that almost
every table proves itself correct by the last
two columns of the table of rainfall, and
by the last column of the temperature
table, thereby eliminating all chances of
making errors in addition, making the ia
bles absolutely correct.
RAINFALL FOR THE WINTER SEASONS.
The following tabulated statement shows
the rainfall and number of days that
rain fell for each winter month; also the
total rainfall and total number of days that
rain fell during the entire winter seasons
the winter seasons beginning with the
winter of 1852 3, and ending with the
winter of 1882. The three winter months
composing the winter season that gave the
heaviest rainfall was during the winter
of lS6l-2-27 81 inches. The dryest
winter was that of 1868 4-3.0S inches.
The mean average rainfall for the winter
season for the past thirty years was ii 923
inches. showing the season OF 1862 was
1907 inches in excess OF a thirty-Years
average, and the dry season OF 1868 was
s S43 inches less than the average. We
might judge from this that we should
never have a winter season of over IS
inches, or one of less than 3 inches Of rain
fall
