There has i- been little > movement of the barometer in the North, hut it has fallen slowly in the Southern ;j districts. Present indication's are. for strong Jr..'-'; westerly winds northward of New Plymouth and SNapier, and for high westerly winds, veering to southerly, soon elsewhere. Changeable and ; showery weather is probable generally, with heavy :j v, nin and thunderstorms in parts. The barometer .v.'-- '. • will probably rise soon for a short time only. | PORT OF AUCKLAND.
