UNSETTLED WEATHER
The weather map on which the Director of the Meteorological Office bases his forecasts shows three distinct low- pressures on the edge of a high" pressure, which is now apparently, passing away from the South Island. There are southeasterly gale^ about Cook Strait, but elsewhere easterly winds predominate, and'were only moderate to strong at 9 o'clock this morning, when the syn-\ chronous observations were reported. Rain was falling in the East' Coast of the North Island, where it has been so badly wanted, and Hastings reported over 2 inches this morning; so that there will be no more necessity to remove any stock from that district. The outlook is for variable winds, easterlies, moderate to strong, and squally at times, northward of New Plymouth and Napier; souther-easterlies, etrong to gale at times, about Cook Strait, and freshening easterlies to northerlies elsewhere. The barometer is unsteady, rising temporarily in parts, but falling again everywntre ioon, with skies cloudy to overcwt, ud Mattered rain in many puti of Oat country.
