CHICAGO MARKETS.

CHICAGO Ill Aug 4.-Provisions were
slightly higher Trldlng was quiet, but the hog
receipts were small, and prices cents higher.
Inc cash demand was more active and mostly for
foreign account. With Increased trade many look
for better prl es.
In cattle there was little no business worth
noung, as is usual on a aturday IN the past
week good fat native cattle of all weights have
advanced 2OG3uc per 100 lbs, while in ferior
eIaues snow 4o92Oc advance, though in some
cases haif'fat stock, which has been in liberal
supply throughout is selling higher. The gen.
eral condition of trade Is healthy.
~ ho5s on the week there was a sharp upturn Of
Io@Loc' that advance coming on steadily un IL
the close today, when there was a sudden droD Of

Explanation.

The arrow flies with the wind. The top figures
st station indicate maximum temperature for the
days: those underneath it. If any, the amount OF
rainfall, OF melted in inches and hundredths,
during the past twelve hours. Isobars, solid
lines, connect poin of equal air pressure; iso-
therms, or dotted lines, equal temperature. The
word "hgh" means high barometrc 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 he pressure is high IN the interior
and low along the coast and the isohars extend
north and south along the coast, rain is probable:
but when the 'lowf Is incosed with isobars Of
marked curvature, rain south OF Oregon is improb-
able. With high" in the vicinity of Idaho, and
the pressure falling the California coast warmer
weather may be expected in summer and colder
weather in winter. The Of these conditions
Will produce an opposite result.
