About the only distinctly bullsh item in the days statistical news was the clearances from Atlantic ports, their amount being equal in Wheat and Flour to S6l, 900 bushels. The an- nouncement of these figures injected a little frmness into the dropping out market, and May, which in the meantime had dropped to e1c, reaching that figure about 12 o'clock. re- covered slowly to 91hc. 1t declined again to 91Ac, but in the last few minutes trading re- acted again to 911z@s1ssc, where it closed

ures at station indicate maximum temperature for the days; those underneath it. if any the amount Of rainfall, Of melted snow in inches and hundredths during the past twelve hours lsobars, or solid lines connect points of equal air pressure; isotherms, or dotted lines, equal temperature. The wind high means high barometic pressure and is usually accompanied with fair weather; low 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 Tow" is inclosed with isobars of marked curvature, rain south of Oregon is i'm probable. With high" in the vicinity of Idaho. and the pressure falling to the Cali fornia coast. warmer weather may be expected in summer and colder weather in winter The reverse of these conditions will produce an opposite result.
