quotations from IS cents an ounce to 80
cents. The foreign brands are virtually
out of market except to a moderate ex
tent from second hands. and are Their,
quoted at 80 cents. London has sen,
very strong advices by cable, quoting
the drug as high as 81 cents. The quin

the large domestic dealers here believe
that the sudden advance in quotations
of the day is due to extensive specula

belief is strengthened by the fact that

west to east. with falling barometer,
cloudiness and showers accompanied
with buster and thunder. Restless and
unsettled weather conditions To a mark
ed degree may he expected from about
the eth to nth, the period opening with
very warm wave for the season. pro
grcssively from west to east. Low and
falling barometer will attend this warm
wave. resulting in many electrical
storms with hail and heavy showers.
Cool weather with frost i'll many Sec

several nights after these storms. Re
dictionary storm conditions-falling ba-

follow brief changes TO cooler. About
the both and 2lst storms of rain and
thunder, hail and wind will visit many
parts of the country. Any careful OBJ

storm centers are going to pass over or
near his immediate locality. If barome-
ter falls and wind veers from east to
northeast, north and northwest, storms
are coming up from south and south
west and are almost sure TO be- general,
long continued and heavy. If wind
changes from south To southwest and
west, storms are passing north of your
locality and are not apt to touch you.
On the 2lst the greatest general storms
of the period are to be expected. Sharp
changes To high barometer and mucn
cooler will follow for three or four days
Electrical conditions will probably pre-
vail to an abnormal degree for over two
weeks before and after the 25th. Light
ing and thunder will be frequent and
heavy, with heavy rain and hail, with
possible tornadoes. The 18th to 2Sth is
is also a reactionary storm period, with
