The top figures at itatlon Indies maximum temperature for the days; those underneath It, If any, the amount of rainfall, of melted snow In Inches and hundredths during the past twelve hours. Isobars, or solid lines, connect points of equal air pressure; Isotherms, or dotted lines, equal temperature. The word "high" means high barometric pressure and Is usually accompanied by fair weather: "low" refers to low pressure and Is usually preceded and accompanied by cloudy weather and rains.

"Lows" usually first appear on 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 probable; but when the "low" Is Inclosed with Isobars of marked curvature, rain south of Oregon Is Improbable. With a "high" in the vicinity of Idr.hn, and the pressure falling to the Callfornia coast, warmer weather maybe- expected In summer and colder weather In winter. The reverse of these conditions will produce as opposite result. WEATHER REPORT.

Local Forecast Official. EASTERN MARKETS. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. NEW YORK. March relations between the United States and Spain caused apprehension in all circles in Wall street to-day.

That there were large sales of securities by the timid holders for the purpose of converting them Into actual money was doubtless true, but a large portion of the selling was due to the liquidation of speculative holdings, which have been strongly held through previous declines, but which were thrown over to-day to realize what they would bring. There was palpable maneuvers also by the bars to force the lowest possible range of quotations at the opening and their offerings to force down prices and their purchases at the decline to cover made up no small portion of the day's business. In this connection It is interesting 1 to-, note that the opening sales of Burlington were reported at from 90V4 to and this quotation was not corrected until the close of the market, when it was canceled with the explanation that the sales reported were of St. Paul of those quotations and not of Burlington. Instead of a break In Burlington of 4V4, at the opening, that stock's extreme decline from Saturday's close was Louisville was at one time four points off, its weakness developing later In the New York Central showed a loss of at the opening.

Otherwise the extreme declines In the railroad list were 1 restricted between 1 and points. Losses in the specialties wore great. Metropolitan failing. 8 points. Sugar 5 1 and Manhattan The bhorts were quick to cover at the' decline and a rally of 1 to 3 points was almost instantaneous.

The buying to cover short contracts was attributed to Washington sources, with other aggressive uelleru In the latter part of last London was a heavy seller of stock here during the morning, the sales for that account being estimated at 49,000 shares. London's pessimistic view of values was as much Influenced by the threatening outlook In China and the dispute in the Niger region as by the Cuban question. Local operators were quick to decide that no damage was threatened to American securities by this complication, and this encourage the absorption of London offer- Ings. Later In the day the introduction of Mr. Cannon's bill to appropriate $10,000,000 for national defense and the passage of the Hawley bill providing for two new artillery regiments renewed the early weakness and forced prices again to the lowest.

The latter break freer from bear nianlpulaion and represented more liquidation than the earlier one. The decision favoring the railroads in the Nebraska maximum freight rate cane was almost Ignored, and the news that Spain had withdrawn its request for Consul-General Lee's recall, although somewhat more efficacious in rallying the market, had but a temporary effect, the other threatening aspects of the situation regarded as more Important Money was rmtrked up to 3 per cent, in the early transactions, an Influence In Inducing liquidation which must not be overlooked. The rate eased off to, IV, per cent again before the close of the day. Closing prices in stocks were considerably above the lowest, but net declines In the standard shares are still from 1 to over 3 points. Prices for bonds yielded almost as sharply as those of stocks, but the smaller liquidation by comparison with stocks Indicated I greater underlying strength.

Mexican Central, Oregon Short Line. 27; San Diego. LONDON MARKET. NEW YORK. March The Evening Post's London financial cablegram says: The stock markets here were flat and demoralized to-day by political scares, consols and similar securities closing quiet at the lowest.

The scares were all the more potent, coming on the eve of the settlement. Americans opened flat and gave way steadily on home and Continental selling The arbitrage houses gave no support until afternoon, when the support was considerable. Prices closed practically at the lowest. Including foreigners. Spanish securities were Vt lower.

There much pressure from Paris to sell Spanish securities, as also Turkish securities, and all International and South American stocks. Still, considering the Intricacies of the political complications, to-day's fall was no more than could be expected. Trouble Is feared at the settlement if there is no recovery prior thereto. Bar gold Is in dmand for American Importers at about 77s lOd. Most of the gold arrivals by the Cape boat are believed to have been sold to New York.

Of about £500.000 of Japanese yen in the open market, a considerable portion la believed to have been bought by New York, but the Bank of England has raised the buy- ing price of yen to 76s sd, and some may go to the bank. Probably £400.000 in ail was bought here to-day. It Is not generally known that one clause of the Japanese loan contract provided for the withdrawal of European bankers from the contracts. If at the time of Issue the political situation should be critical. The loan probably would have been issued next Saturday, and it Is believed in city circles that Russia's demand that China shall settle the points raised by the former within live days Is significant, Including, among other objects, the defeat of the loan project.

The position of Spain and the United States attracted most attention. City financiers attach much Importance to the desperate condition of Spanish finances, and believe that this may prompt Spain to aggressive action, or. at least, that Spain might not withdraw from the position taken up. If the worst happened. It is believed that Paris might render financial assistance to Spain, French Interest In Spanish stocks being large.

At the same time Spanish are not held quite so largely In France as they were a few years ago. The February trade returns are unsatisfactory. Imports having decreased £1,300,000. or 4 per cent and exports £220.000. or about WAW A per cent.

The chief decline in Imports Is textile materials from the United States and elsewhere. CLOSE. CLOSE. Canadian Pacific. 84 1 Grand Trunk.

Prospects of war between two of the foreign: nations almost invariably has a favorable effect on the local wheat market and' to-day wan no exception to the rule. selling pressure was soon renewed. The- news from Washington was of too grave a character to be overlooked, and besides this nearly all the ordinary news of the day was of an bearish nature. THE SAX FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, MARCH 8, 1898. Northwest receipts were very large.

apolis and Duluth reported 560 cars, compared I with" 362 last week and year ago. The i world's shipments were large, amounting to i 7,524,000 bushels, and an Increase on passage was reported of 1.680.000 bushels. A signifi- I cant factor in the world's shipments was the big Russian movement, nearly five times in I excess of what it was 'a. year ago. Chicago receipts were 105 cars.

Letter brokers gave the' market some support at first, but soon withdrew It and market deprived of this sustaining feature slowly declined and grew quite dull." July finally sold down to i 90c and May to $1 About the mid-day a I new feature developed in the buying by Letter 'of the September and December futures. I Shorts hardly understood this at first, but when buying orders of those deliveries were I received from St. Louis, accompanied by reports of very poor conditions of wheat In Illinois and Missouri, the crowd came Into the market. For a time the September and De! cember prices showed 2c advance and the strength was In a measure communicated to the near-by futures. July rallying to and May to $1 The very boldness of the Letter operations In the face of what was considered a naturally bearish market startled shorts into covering and gave the market for a time a good deal of strength.

Toward the close all the futures dropped a little, and the market was quite irregular, July closed at May lc lower at September and December, on the other hand, closed about higher each, September at and December at 77Vic. Corn was fairly active and steady. The Cuban war news and the weakness in wheat induced more or less liquidation by holders. Prices tended downward until near the close, when covering caused a slight improvement. The market for oats was slow, with very little trade either- way.

May closed a shade lower. Provisions were weak after a little momentary firmness at the start, caused by higher hog prices. May pork closed lc lower. May lard lower and May ribs 5c lower. Open.
