Isobars, solid lines, connect points of equal air pressure; isotherms, or dotted lines, equal temperature. The word high high barometric pressure and Is usually accompanied by fair weather; Tow refers to low pres sure and Is usually preceded and accompanied 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 low Is inclosed with isobars of marked curvature rain south of Oregon Is irn- 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 opposite result

NEW, YORK, Feb. 7.-The Evening Post s London financial cablegram says: The stock markets were quiet and featureless to-day gen. eraly, pending the settlement in carry-over mines, but the tone steady. Chartered Company's shares were firm in spite of the resignation of the Duke of Fife and Lord Farquahar from the board Activity still cen- ters in Americans. Grand Trunks and Argen- tines. he feature in the first named was Norfolk and Western preferred. A pool was formed recently to deal in the common. It is said the profits already show a dividend Prices closed under the best, but Grand Trunks were better. Copper shares were weak on re- ports that an important mine Is to be foated soon.
 The trade returns for January are unsatis- factory. The imports are only up 140 900 pounds. Raw materials imported decreased 3.2I5. eco pounds. largely due to decreased cot ton and other exports from America. The value of exports for the month Is down half million pounds.
 Money Is fairly wanted and the market still depends on the Bank of England.

MARK TWAIN AND HIS DEBTS.

The Publishers Weekly learns that Mark Twain has paid off three-fourths of the indebtedness of c. L. Webster & Co.,, the publishing firm of which he was member. The creditors offered to settle on fifty-per cent basis. Twenty-eight per cent was realized from the assets. Presently MT. Clem- ems brought the payments up to 50 per cent and not long ago he paid 25 per cent more. He is quoted as saying that 1t will be three years before he can publish another book, and possibly the remnants of his debts will hang on un- til then. Meanwhile, however, the books he has already written are work ing for him, some of them to very good purpose.-Harper' Weekly
