Now that the republican party has been
placed in power for another term of four
years. the brokers say, confidence in con-
tinued prosperity will be maintained, and
they believe that in the near future some
large operations will be reported
The local money market is strong and
active, and local securities the

Records Tell
the Story of
Storm S Fury

The maximum wind velocity
attained yesterday was forty
eight miles an hour. The rain
at o'clock in the morning fell
at the rate of one-fiftieth of an
inch a minute for three minutes.
The barometer reading was
1928 inches when the wind was
the heaviest. The normal pres
sure gives a barometric reading
of thirty inches. The reading of
February %, 1881, was 29.1o
inches. which Is the record for
San Francisco. The barometer
reading at Galveston at the time
of the disaster was 2S.4S inches.
A wind velocity of sixty miles an
hour was reported from Sacra-
mcnto before the wires broke
down. McAdie expects that
there was a record gale at Point
Reyes. but no report was re-
ceiNed from there last night be-
cause the wires were down.
Yuba, Feather, American and
Sacramento rivers were rising
at last accounts. There was a
break in the storm yesterday
afternoon. but the forecaster
predicts that we shall expert
ence more high winds to-day,
although probably not so severe
as those OF yesterday. More
rain may also be expected.
