which the department is to-day subject
ed, the reports for the past twenty four
hours have been comparatively few in
number. The weather has continued
fair and clear, with falling barometer in
the South Atlantic States. A rapid
diminution of pressure on Lake Erie
eliminated this morning in small area
OF decidedly low pressure, which moved
rapidly to the mid Atlantic, with high
winds. The barometer is now low on
the East Atlantic, with fresh winds and
threatening weather. The pressure has
been variable in Tennessee, and is now
falling. 1t has been low at the Rocky

lower lakes. A serious disturbance is
indicated as approaching the North
western States. There is no secure basis
for further probabilities.
