sissippi valleys.
The temperature has continued to rise in
the lake regions, the central and Lowell

the Atlantic and gulf coasts
Partly cloudy weather and local showers
are indicated for the north Atlantic states,
the lower lake region and upper Ohio val
ley, these unsettled conditions probably
continuing Throughout Sunday. The wealth
er will remain feir in the'lower Ohio valley,
the south Atlantic and gulf states.

The Mississippi river at Memphis stands
at the same stage as the maximum of last
years flood. At Helena, however 1t is
six feet lower, and 1t Is probable that the
stage at Memphis is abonrmally high from
the fact that the levees have remained
rearly intact 1t is not probable that the
stages of last years flood will be reached
at points below Memphis.
