May started only Ac however, did it at s1 55. The advance in May Wheat at Liverpool was equal to 3I1c a bushei and in July Sc. The quotations percental at Liverpool showed the price of May Wheat to s1 4s1s, September s1 141z and December s1 03Ii Frantic efforts to buy the golden cereal bega n again after a brief rest at s1 05 for July and $1 55 for May The market got at last where bearish reports longer influenced it It be came a matter of disappearing margins with shorts and aggressive confidence with longs. July rushed up from around s1 o5 to s1 06. dropped in two minutes back to s1 O5l5 and five minutes after 1t was bringing sl O6ls In the last fifteen minutes of the session it surged up and down in great swelling pillows the closing bell tap cutting 1t short when s1 osss was the current price.

EXPLANATION.

The arrow flies with the wind. The top fig ures at station indicate minimum temperature for the days; those underneath 1t, If any, the amount of rainfall of melted snow In inches and hUndredths during the last twelve hours. Isobars or solid lines. connect points of equal air pressure; isotherms. dotted lines, equal temperature. The word high means high baronetric pressure and is usually accompanied by fair weather: low refers to low pres by cloudy weather and rains. Lows usually first appear 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 proba ble; but when the Tow" is inclosed with isobars of marked curvature rain south of Oregon Is im- 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 pppOSite result.
