explanation.

The arrow lies with he wind. The top figures
y station indicate maximum temperature for the
days; those underneath IT, IL any, the amount Of
rainfall, Of melted snow in inches and hundredths
during the past twelve hours Isobars, solid
lines connect poin of equal air pressure; 1o-
iherms, or dotted lines, equal temperature. The
word "high" means high barometric pressure and
is usually ACCOMPANIED by fair weather: '1ow'
refers 20 low pressure. and is usually preceded
and accompanied by cloudy weather and rains.
Lows" usually first appear on the Washington
coast. When t he 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 Glow" is inclosed with sobars OF
n arked curvature rain south of oregon is improb-
able. With "high' in the vicinity of Idaho and
the pressure falling the California coast warnef
weather may be expected in summer and colder
weather in winter. The reverse Of these conditions

THE COAL TRADE.

The private circular of I. Steuart gives the re-
ceipts of coal at this port during the first eight
months OF 1896 at $50, 200 tons, against sos, 500
tons during the same time in 1885, and says:
"The imports Of coal during the month have been
m oderate and fully equal to the demand. Prices
of australian coal continue to rule low. both spot
and for future shipment, while English anthracite
coal tor loading has advanced on account of higher
rates of freight being asked by ships to load
"a small cargo of coal from China arrived in
port during the month, which is claimed TO be of
anthracite grade. The experience of the trade
with the little coal that has been imported hitherto
from that quarter has been anything but salts
