WEATHER CONDITIONe.

Generally fair and pleasant weather pre- walls over the greater portion of the eoun- try, though there Is considerable local cloudness in the southeastern and eastern districts. An area of high barometer cen- tral over Louisiana has caused slightly lower temperatures over the eastern half of the cotton belt, and will give continued fair weather in Alabama during tonight and Thursday The temperature has also fall- en about 10 degrees along the middle and North Atlantic coast though there has been a general but sloght increase in tempera- ture over the lake region and the central and southwestern districts. Areas of low barometer central over Ontario and Alberta have caused no precipitation worthy of note.
