suit of a surprisingly rapid change in the condi-
tons from those that prevailed up to midnight.
At that time the barometer on the Middle At

falling temperature, northerly wind aud sixty

phcre. The pressure fell toward the east

Lawrence Valley and fell ut a few points on the
coast. Toward morning, however, the wave of
low temperature descended rapidly from tho
north, the winds on tho coast of New England
shifted to northeasterly, Il rapid condensation
Of atmospheric moisture took place and
steady rain commenced TO fall which
continued throughout the day The wind change
on the coast was caused by n rapid advance Of
the isobars Of high pressure eastward and north
ward of the Middle States. As the surface winds
always follow tho direction of these lines the lower
mir currents flowed from the direction OF Nova
Scotia toward New York and followed the coast
line southwcstward to Florida Thus the wind
brought moisture from the ocean, which was
condensed into rain by the low temperature on
The land. At present the pressure is very high

ZION and Canada. A continuance OF cold northerly
winds will therefore be experienced until this
area of high pressure passes eastward Of our
meridian. when southcrly winds will bring
higher temperature. The pressure is falling
IN the Northwest. The weather in New
York and its vicinity to-day will be cold and
,loudy, followed by decreasing cloudincss and
Nightly higher temperature.
