days: those underneath 1t, If any, the amount OF
rainfall Of melted snow in inches and hundredths,
during the past twelve hours. Isobars, solid
lines, connect points of equal air pressure; iso-
therms, dotted lines, equal temperature. The
word "hEh" means high barometric 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
north and south along the coast rain is probable:
but when the 'low Is inclosed with sobars 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, warmer
weather may be expected in summer and colder
weather in winter. The reverse Of these conditions
Will produce an opposite result

San Francisco.
9:l5 A. N. SESSION
Stronger Eastern and foreign markets for wheat
advanced December wheat in the local market to
ST. 5O1a as compared with 81 491a on the curb
yesterday. There seems an element of weakness
surro lnding the market If fair break would
come and shake out the small holders no doubt
quick rally would follow.
1O:15 A. NJ SESSION.
The phenomenal rise in wheat in the Chicago
market has stimulated prices here December
81 51149l 5112, May 81 5l91 51Aa. Market acts
heavy.
1l:15 A. N. SESSION.
A break of 1870 In Chicago drove December
wheat from 81 5l$4 to l o07s 1t looks low r
December bar ey, 94c.

Wheat at the afternoon session was inclined to
weakness. December opened and closed at
81 5OA, May 81 4s1s. December barley, 94c
Market acts heavy. II will take strong Eastern
and foreign m arkets hold present prices. small
operators are carrying too large u load. shippers
have sold on every hard spot
Chicago.
Long before the opening hour of the Board Of
Trade the room and corridors were crowded with
brokers and clients heavy trading in wheat was
done on the curb before the regular opening. First
sales made at Sic in Septem Der. Later
strong French cables worked the price up TO Sl14c
ried themselves into stew Opening prices were
5sc TO 81 7sc for september. May, SAC The
market seemed steady for about ten minutes,
when New y ork sent large buying orders OF ep-
tenn Ger, which was the sig nal for a scramble upon
the part of shorts who did not step for one-quar-
ter fluctuations. Any price was good en ough. so
they got cut Eishty ty-three cents was the figure
the .prce signal" worked up before 1t stopped,
after arting at 81 5sc Another twist at he price

wheat A food of selling orders started the mar
ket downward, which did no. op until S23s was
reached. Another wave of bull enthusiasm & ap-
ped the market and succeeded in making a new
high-water mark; this time september touched
sage.
Selling by clique brokers eased the wants OF
shorts. A fter their demands were satisfied the
sustaining power of the market seemed with
drawn. Trces declined sharply. :, pte ter
closed at So lac, Decembe 81 Use and May S43sc
with an easier feeling on the curD
The market was pretty fairly cleared OF shorts.
Wheat advanced 212c without reaction. IL
would not be surprising TO see LIBERAL setback,
which Will undoubtedly come unless foreigners
continue to buy lioeray Much of to-day's ad-
vance was brought about by shorts running to
cover The advance durin the past three or
four days has been too rapid and not OF good
character. n back would shake out weak
pie who will be throwing IL on the market
upon every cent or two advance.
