EXPLANATION.

The arrow flies with the wind. The top ng- ures at station indicate minimum temperature for the days; those underneath It, II any, the and hundredths during the ast twelve hours; Isobars or solid lines, connect points Of equal air pressure; isotherms, dotted lines, equal fernnerstu ture 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 bv cloudy weather and rains. Lows usually first appear on the Washington coast. When the pressure is high in the interior and low and south along the coast, rain Is probable: bur when the low Is inclosed with isobars 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 may be expected in summer and colder weather In winter. The reverse of these conditions will produce an opposite result.

 Americans appeared steady and continued so until there was sharp fall in Spanish fs which was connected with selling from Spain. Americans gave way In sympathy and all the market became dull, closing only a fraction above the lowest.
 There were wild rumors at the close includ- ing that the cable between Havana and Key West had been cut.
