outlook over Sunday had been improved or low
cred. Mixed conditions were shown. Frosts
were recorded In Florida, away out at Santa
Fe and at Kansas City and st. Louis. At some
points In the central south and southwest 1t was
as cold this morning as at Winnipeg, where
40 degrees above was the temperature. The

at North Platte. The northwest had another
night of freezing. Good judges do not think
night or two more of it, but others in
clined to look for damage cry later from
localities where the earliest seeding was done
and where the seed, under the very favorable
conditions that prevailed for time had begun

planting corn. Am advised from a reliable
source that about Onehaf of the corn has been
planted, the ground is in prime condition for it,
and the acreage will probably be about 10 per
cent larger than last year. Oats are above the
ground and looking fine. Weather last day or

Broomhall cabled: ''selling by a large house

pressed all thru. turned quickly and advanced
