ditions from about the 5th, as 20
retard the higu barometer and
change To colder, uutil after the
elimination of bhe regular storm
period central on tine 9th. 1t may
be counted on as a certainty that

marked change to colder follow

the west early IN the period, say
about the 18th, and these condi
Ntions will move eastwardly, fol
lowed by growing cloudlness and
