THE WEATHER yesterday underwent many
changes throughout the United States and
Canmla. The slow eastward movement of the
low barometer in the lake region affected an I'M
mcnsc area OF territory and was marked by
ruin and snow falls at several points.
general cloudincss prevailed over the lower
lakes, the Middle and Eastern States, but
slccreased westward toward the Upper
Mississippi Valley. The depression which left
the South Atlantic coast on Thursday evening
still continued to influence the weather of that
region during yesterday, and heavy rains fell at
Charleston and Wilmington. The weather was
cloudy from the coast westward to Texas
and southward OF Tennessee. The highest press
ure now extends through the Mississippi
Valley to Manitoba. A depression is, however,
p,ov;np eastward from Montana, and may de-
vclop into storm centre when it reaches the
lake rcrion. Another low barometer is evidently
developing in the Gulf High winds prevail on
the Texas coast, and may be looked for along
the Atlantic coast during to-day The TEN
pcrat,,rc has fallen in the Northwest, but
will rise again rapidly. Colder weather may
he cxpectcd over the middle and coast districts
of tho United States, east of tho Rocky Noun
ta;ns. Tho weather in New York to-day will bc
colder and cloudy, probably with high westerly
winds and possibly with light rain, and followed
by copL clearing weather.
