NEW YORK, June 14.-There was a dispo- stion in speculative circles to-day to await the further progress of events after a series of testngs by the professional element. There evidently an expectation at the opening that there might be renewed pressure of forced liquidation account of the collapse in the wheat deal The bears were prepared for such a development and sold with considerable con- Adence, bringing about declines of a point in some cases. No heavy offerings were encoun- tered st the decline, however and prices had come back about to the opening level before the end of the first hour. Later in the day there was renewed selling on quite a large scale which attributed to Chicago account and this served to reawa1en some apprehension as to the extent of the damage done to the financial fabric by the collapse in wheat This of the speculation and resulted in rather dull market for the rest of the day The strength Of, Manhattan and the frmness of Sugar and Tobacco on the later dealings help ed to sustain the market. There is some anx- iety in the street to find how the subscriptions to the new Government loan will progress.

The word high" means high barometric pressure and is usually accompanied by 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 low is inclosed with sobars of marked curvature, rain south of Oregon is i'm probable. With a high" in the vicinity of Idaho and the pressure falling to the Cali fornia coast, warmer weather mey be expected fin summer and colder weather in winter. The reverse of these conditions will produce an opposite result.
