In the north Atlantic steamship lanes, re-
ported on arrival here to-day that the
Gulf Stream was very weak for this

current was very strong. The con-
sequence is that the cold water encroached
upon the warm.
The cold water was seventy-fvc miles
south OF the normal line for this season
OF the year and the lcebergs coming down
in the cold water went away south. One
report made was OF ice as far south as
I.i7 but this was apparently an error.
as the Seneca steamed to the locality and
found warm water and no ice.
The line of cold water Is along a
parallel 42.30, which is still one degree
too far south for tho season. Many bergs
were reported all along the east Of the
Grand Banks. and extremely large fields OF
Ice were reported northeast of the banks
extending to latitude 49.15 as far west as
longitude 5000.
