Weather Conditions

Birmingham, January 1.--G D. m)-The area of low pressure that was central yesterday over the lake region has moved up the St. Lawrence valley and the high pressure area that covered the eastern ward and now extends along the northern border of the country from the Rockies TO the Atlantic ocean.
 The passage of this high pressure has produced rising temperatures in southern sections west of tiis Mississippi and de- cided fall along the Atlantic coast and throughout the lake region. Slight changes have occurred over the country west of the Rockies. In the northwest where extremely low temperatures have prevailed for the past several days a marked rise has occurred owing to the fall in barometric pressure throughout that region.
 Rain has fallen in Texas and along the south Atlantic coast. Throughout the north Atlantic and lake regions and in small portions of the west snow has fallen.
 In the cotton belt cold weather has been general. It has moderated considerably in western portions during the past A hours and this change should extend throughout most of the belt Tuesday.
 In Birmingham temperatures were ' degrees below normal Unsettled condi- tions will continue Tuesday with probable rain Tuesday or Tuesday night.
