Explanation,

The arrow flies with the wind. The top figures
, a. station indicate maximum temperature for the
days; those underneath II, If any, the amount OF
rainfall, of melted snow in inches and hundredths,
during the past twelve hours. Isobars or solid
lines, connect po!n OF equal air pressure iso-
iherms, or dotted lines, equal temperature The
word "hgh" means high bRrometric pressure and
IS usually accompanied by fair weather: "low"
refers TO 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 Glow IS inclosed with isobars Of
n srked curvature, rain south OF oregon is improb-
able. With "high" in the vicinity of Idaho, and
the pressure falling the California coast,
weather may be expected in summer and colder
weather in winter. IKE reverse of these conditions
Cl produce opposite result

EXCHANGE AND BULLION.
WHEAT MARKET

SAN FRANCISCO, July g. 1897
The following resume of the wheat market Is
furnished by r. A. Bresse Produce Exchange
granbroker, 4l2 Pine street:
Chicago.
The bull fever seems TO have again entered
wheat speculation. Liverpool responded This
morning to yesterdays advance on this side in
full keeping with the situation. Opeuipp cables
quoted futures Is I'd higher. Private adyices re-
teved soon after the opening added another ad-
vance OF Id. This gave the 'longs" encourage
ment, and wheat prices were advanced ] cent
from the low point ached just after the market
open,d. The early decline was caused by selling
long wheat held by those who were satisfied with
their profits.
The trading throughout was OF a good character
many large operators having returned from their
vacations. and they are becoming prominent bulls
The situation abroad Is the chief topic of argu-
ment in advancing wheat prices. hat ftreig gners
have been good buyers of Septem ber wheat for the
past ten pays mot be denied.
Inc Government report due on the 10th OF July
VIII deal extensively with spring wheat condi-
tions and the total crop in general. Al present
The trade figures yield of 600 600, 600 bushels.
IL the report should make any reduction from
these figures, doubt many who ATE opposed to
blgher prices would abandon the cause and join
the ranks OF those who are endeavOring to make
Foreigners psy for Americas wheat what 1t is
c aimed TO be worth.
The strength in corn Is aiding wheat prices ma
terially.
Fiench wheat markets were fractionaly lower

the progress made in some branches of

discover a cure for it. Whether in the
form of powder, pill or liquid, the doc
