Washington, d. c., January 2t.-Ihe
Weather Bureau issues the following:
The temperature has risen slowly from
the Atlantic coast westward over the
Ohio and Upper Mississippi Valleys
and the northwest. 1t continues low
and has fallen slightly in the southwest
and it has fallen decidedly on the cen
tral gulf and west Florida coasts,
where it is below freezing. There has
been no change in the tenn
perature in Florida up to s
o'clock tonight, and as the re-
zion is covered with an area of rain
it is probable that the cold wave may
not extend to the south of Jacksonville
with sufficient severity to cause injury
to crops. although the temperature
may reach freezing in the interior Of
the extreme northern portion. The
temperature will remain about sta
tionay Wednesday in the Middle At
lantic States north of Virginia with fair
weather. and it will rise slowly in the
central valleys, with light local SHOWS.
The barometer has risen in the st. Law
renee valley and New England and in
the southwest. and it has fallen from
Florida northwest to Montana. 1t Is
lowest northwest of New England and
highest north of Montana. There is
second depression central over Florida,
which is apparently moving TO the
northeastward. The high winds which
have prevailed on the Atlantic coast
north of Hatteras. due to the depres-
sion in the lower St. Lawrence valley
have been succeeded by brisk north
westerly winds which will continue
Wednesday. the depression having
passed to the eastward Of Nova Scotia.
