HICKS ON MARCH WEATHER.

March weather, as figured out by
Rev. Irl r. Hicks, will be as follows:
y The first regular storm period FOR
March is from the End to the 18th. A
marked change to warmer and falling
barometer will lead rapidly into cloud
mess, with general rain and thunder
storms in the south. Rains may also
be expected in central and northern
sections, but change to much colder
will follow the rains, heavy snow
squalls generally along the northern
side Of the country. Sharp change
to GOLD will bring up the rear Of these
storms, bringing the temperature
quite to the frost line far in the the
south.
An electrical crisis may be expected
from ABOUT the 10th to the 18th.
Heavy earth.currents Of magne tism
and electricity, auroral lights. seismic
commissions and quickensd volcanic
activity, are among the things reason
ably to be looked for about this time.
The regular storm period, oentering
en- the 18th and extending from the
18th tn the 20th, will bring a time Of
exceedingly unsettled weather, with
probability of many heavy and oan-
gerous storms. In all central, west
ern and northern sections, mingled
rain, snow and raw, depicting winds
will render it exceedingly hard and
trying on unsheltered live stock.
The last general storm period in
the month is central on the 27th, COW
ering the 25th to 30th. As this Pc
riod is approached it will turn phe-
nomenally warm for the season.

Meyer & Kiser's Telegram. ]


NEW YORK, June 1.-THE developments
were the controlling factors in the direc-
tiNn of sentiment at the opening this morn
ing. The first may be said to be the unex
pected favorable crop report published by
the government, wherein the condition of
wheat would indicate a favorable yield of
TAO 100000 blu. the largest by 100000 of
any crop on record in this country. The
inherent strength of Wall streets finan-
cial situation, Notwithstanding the severe
decline In stocks, can be counted on as
most propitious sign. Thirdly, the unex-
pected position of London, after it's hys-
terical selling of stocks yesterday was
strong influence. London sent large buy
ing orders and supported American stocks
in that market on liberal scale. This buy
ing and the above noted facts, together
with bidding by frightened bears, caused
wild opening, so that the end of the first
hour saw stocks two to three points higher
than the loweet of yesterday. The strength
continued throughout the morning, and no.
tceable features were Norfolk & Western,
which opened at three points advance. and
Atchson which also showed a net gain of
three points. Amalgamated was a strong
feature. on the advance in Rio Tintos. and
also the metal in London. st. Paul again
became the leader. and advanced easily on
small transactions. The other grangers
were particularly strong on the favorable
crop report The advancing stock market
induced a more hopeful feeling, than has
been seen for several months. The situa-
ton appears to be sufficiently clear to adj
wise purchase Of good stocks at about these
figures for a substantial rally. but not I'M
til further reports on the condition of corn
would buyers be warranted in taking
positive stand on the market either way.

and July closed sc lower. Corn closed is9
Ac higher and oats were up sec. Provisions
closed from 212d5c lower.
The government crop report, showing
the condition of wheat up to June l, was
a great disappointment TO the bulls and
was the cause of considerable decline in
prices. AT the opening there was dispo-
sition among traders to regard the out
look somewhat bullish and the market
at the start was soon inclined to frmness
with July HQ4c lower to 1sQAc higher at
75ssq76c, but as the day progressed the feel
ing gradually changed and commission
houses became liberal sellers. Outside mar
kets were weak. especially ST. Louis, and
with selling by the Northwest and South
west and by longs on stop-loss orders the
market yielded to the selling pressure and
declined nearly cent, July selling on TO
75lsc after touching 761sc soon after the
opening. During the last hour shorts were
active buyers, which caused an upturn in
prices and much of the early loss was re-
gained. The close was steady with July
Bc lower at 755s47524c. Clearances of wheat
and flour were equal to 7s2, 500 bu. Primary
receipts were 254, 600 bu against 10000 blu
year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth reported
receiptsA of 1893 cars, which, with local re-
ceipts of II cars-none of contract grade
made, total of 20 against l9S last
week and 179 year ago.
Corn was firm early in the day on I'M
favorable weather, but there was plenty Tor
sale the advance and prices declined.
The selling was led by prominent pro-
vision interest with smaller longs following
the lead. The demand was largely from
shorts, who secured profits. The selling was
less urgent late in the day and the market
close was firm, with July 1sQAc higher at
iS1ac, after selling between 4l3sc and 4Sssc.
Receipts were 343 cars, eight of contract
grade
There was a fair volume of trade In oats
and the market was Independently firm.
There was free liquidation during the first
hour on the beariSh crop report which
caused a reaction from the topening firm
ness, but during the latter part of the day
there was q good demand for July, which
caused a sharp upturn. The close was
strong and near the top. July sc higher at
