Calls for the day had been sold at 9oIzc, but f. was said most of these privileges had been bought up by people who short as a safeguard against the possible eccentricities of an CT ratio market. The Liverpool market closed from asd to Sd higher than 1t did yesterday. many of whom had sold short yesterday in caused considerable covering. Liverpool re- ported spot wheat weak and 2d lower for Cali fornia, with sellers of Argentine wheat at 3d per quarter lower than it was offered Friday. The closing cables showed some recovery from the previous days heavy decline, and that tended to strengthen the hands of the bulls. Paris showed rise of 60 centimes in January flour and 20 centmes in March-June.

In view of this fact the in money rates does not appear strange, and if the banks. continue to gain from the interior The withdrawal of Government deposits, how ever. may steady the situation. The banks gained during the past week S5 300 in cash. g. O50, 500 of which was in specie. Gold Is coming in this direction from Canada, the past ten days rceipts having approximated s65O,- 900. The increase in deposits was s6 020, 400, CESS reserve in consequence expanded S3, ,O74, GOO and stands at s25, e6S.77S. This is only half large reported one year ago, but in view of the fact that remtttances are now becom- ing larger an increase may be expected from week to week. In the changes made during the week the operations seem to nave been con fined to the larger banks. The deposits of the Hanover the National Park and the National City Banks are S7. 0O0, GOO larger than the pre-
 vious week Whether this is due to special operations cannot be dehhtely stated. but it shows that the remaining banks have less money in hand than at the close of January B. The factors that led to the gain in cash, be expected to affect other institutions having large country connections from this time on. As was nointe ed out last week the enormous interior movement at this season forces down money rates and compels capital to seek better rates abroad-In other words. 1t leads to gold ex- ports But the anomaly Is now presented of our idle money being invested in foreign ex- change on this side of the water. Europe IS now using at least $50. GOO 900 American money in the foreign or deferred credits, and unless rates abroad go to very low level there rs no prospect of this sum being immediately reduced So sensitive, however. is the situa- ticn since the United States became the dom the credit can be expanded reduced at will
 Clearings indicate that a much larger vol ume of money than usual will be needed this year to properly care for the business being

EXPLANATION.

The arrow flies with the wind The top fig ures at station indicate maximum tenpera tlIre for the days; those underneath it, if any the amount of rainfall. of melted in inches and hundredths during the past twelve hours. 1sobars, or solid lines. connect points of equal air pressure; isotherms. or dotted lines, equal temperature. The wind high means high barometric pressure and is usually accompanied by fair weather; low refers to low pres 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 Call fornfa coast, warmer weather may be expected in summer and colder weather in winter. The reverse of these conditions will produce an opposite result.

 New York commercial paper of the 10th says: The steady advance in hides and the lightness of the supply give some ground to the predictions of importers that prices this year will rival those of 1885 The present high prices are accounted for by the fact that the supply of raw material in every mart of the world is unprecedentedly small. The stock of dry hides in first hands here aggregates 43. 900. IL consists of T.. GOO OrinoCos 2300 Cordova. Buenos Ayres, etc. S40O Central Americans, Ecuador etc; 7000 Puerto Cabello.
