COLD WAVE POSTPONED
Weather Man Withdraws
Threat of Big Mercury Drop.

A pronounced drop IN temperature
for to-day was predicted yesterday
afternoon. and the weather man even
included a snowstorm in his prophecy.

night, however, and the final predic-
tion for to-day was ready TO 40 out
New York's fear OF snow and cold
wave had been dispelled.
Fair and colder is the outlook. Be
lief that some other brand OF weather
might be in store for the metropolis
