EASTERN MARKETS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK, May 31.-To-day's stock market was active and strong, but the activity and strength was not by any means uniformly distributed. The Changers exercised a power full sustaining influence and Rock Island was the feature of the group St. Paul closed the day with net gain of over points. the ad- vance being encouraged by published reassur- to the permanent character of the improvement charged to the large operating expense for April.
 The newly published statement of Burling- tons April earnings with similarly large proportion absorbed in operating expenses, was drag on that stock early in the day but It's tone improved later and there was a net rise of 11A. The buoyancy in Rock Island was ac- companied by a notable show of strength in others of the Granger group.
 Peoples Gas was the most conspicuous stock in the list and at time 3A points, but lost nearly point realizing. Brooklyn Transit was also up nearly points at one time. The recent rise in the iron stocks con tinued to-day. Minnesota Iron and Illinois Steel rising respectively and 2i2 points. The recent entry into the directory of the Illinois company of a powerful financial interest has led to rumors of extensive combinations in the iron and steel business and this is the ground of the rise in these stocks. Chicago and East ern Illinois rose 6R points and Northern Pa cific preferred, Union Pacific preferred and Sugar also developed strength A rise of 3x in Delaware and Hudson should also be men tloned. The buoyancy of so large a number of important stocks was sufficient to carry the much less notable at other points in the list, London bought stocks in this market and beneficial effect generally felt from the definite locating of Admiral Cerveras fleet in Santiago harbor. But the benefit from this factor was due principally to its giving freer play to conditions specially affecting different stocks. Manhattan and Metropolitan Street Railway gave some positive evidences of de- pression and 1t with difficulty that they rose at any time above Saturdays level A fair amount of commission house orders to buy had accumulated over the double holiday and helped on the rise.
 Dealings in bonds were in fair volume and were well distributed, gains being general throughout the list Total sales $2, ,96o,000.

 INFLAMMATION

Tn arrow flies with the wind The top fg- ures at station indicate minimum temperature for the days, those underneath it. if any. the amount of rainfall or Of melted snow in inches and hundredths during the last twelve hours. Isobars or solid lines. connect points of equal air pressure; isotherms, or dotted lines, equal temperature. 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 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 mey be expected in summer and colder weather in winter. The reverse of these conditions will produce an nnnosite result.
