HOW 1T WORKS IN NEW YORK.

Henry Clews' New York circular says: ain do
mestic conditions there some distinct improve
ments. The distributing trade shows more activity,
ana the tendency of prices in many kinds OF mer-
chapdise is toward higher figures Crop reports
show more recovery from the unfavorable condi-
tions with which the spring opened than has been
hoped for. The earnings of the railroads continue
comparatively good and freight rates are well
maintained The feeling among manufacturers is
somewhat more hopeful. The process of forming
combinations for the regulation of petition is
tending from one industry TO another and promises
TO place the current of overproduction under
wholesome restraint. The excitement connected
with preparations for the political conventions
hardly be said TO have taken any deep hold on
Wall street"

Explanation.

The arrow flies with the wind. The top figures
et station indicate maximum temperature for the
Gays; those underneath it. If any, the amount of
rainfall, Of melted in inches and hu nd redths
during the past twelve hours Isobars, or solid
lines, connect points of equal air pressure; iso-
therms, or dotted lines equal temperature. The
WORD nigh" means high barometric pressure and
is usually ACCOMPANIED by fair weather: Glow"
refers 10 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 '1ow" is nclosed with isobars of
marked curvature, rain south of Oregon is improb-
able With high" in the vicinity OF Idaho, and
the pressure falling to the California coast warme
weather may be expected in summer and colder
weather in winter. The reverse Of these conditions
WIN produce opposite result.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Nav z. - Stocks were
weaker to-day, the comparatively large gold ex-
ports and selling for foreign account having had
an adverse influence According to foreign hous es
the liquida ion for European account was due to
the impression abroad that the candidates for the
Presidential nomination are not sufficiently ex-
plcit as to their position on the current ques-
sales for the account of European and local hear
operators. The pressure 10 sell finally affected
hold rs of long stocks, and In the late AFT ernoon
trading there was iqnidating sales on the part of
