Probabilities-The barometer will con
tinue falling from the lakes to tho Gulf
during the night, and extend to the At
lantic on Saturday, with Easterly to
southerly winds, rising temperature and
increased cloudiness. Very generally
cloudy and threatening weather. will pro-
badly prevail on Saturday North and
West OF the Ohio Vslley. The area of
rain over the Lower Mississippi Valley
will probably extend North eastward
over the Ohio Valley, with threatening
weather thence to tho South Atlantic
coast. An area of quite low barometer
is apparently advancing upon the North
west. Dangerous winds are not antici-
pated, except possibly for tho upper
lakes, on Saturday.
