EXPLANATION.

The arrow flies with the wind. The top fig ures at station indicate minimum temperature for the days those underneath it, if any, the amount of rainfall of melted snow in inches and hundredths during the last twelve hours. Isobars, or solid lines, connect points of equa! air pressure; isotherms, dotted lines, equal temperature. The word high" means high barometric pressure and is usually accompanied by fair weather; Tow" refers to low pres sure 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 low is inclosed with isobars of probable. With high" in the vicinity of Idaho, and the pressure falling to the Cali fornia coast, warmer weather may t& expected in summer and colder weather in winter. The reverse of these conditions will produce an opposite result.

pEc1puoUs AND CITRUS FRUITS.

Cherries are thus far small and poor, prob ably owing to the dry condition of the ground, and it is feared that other fruits will show the same defect as the season progresses. If this proves the case 1t will materially cut down the weight of the crop this year.

,UR CANNED FRUITS IN ENGLAND.

Californian fruits continue to advance. ana supplies. especially of apricots, are getting into comparatively small compass says the London Grocers Gazette of April 2S There has been a very active business, and an i'm mediate advance in values is probable. Arri- vals of the last week have been readily taken m and there Is only one vessel on the way. With the wholesale dealers taking deliveries of salmon from the large arrivals of a week or TWO back purchases from first hands are restricted There is no change in prices, the nosition generally being very steady.
