Barometric pressure has been unsteady and the weather very unsettled in the southern districts, but elsewhere hazy and warm weather with a steadily falling barometer. Westerly winds have prevailed, strong to gale in and south of Cook Strait. The present indications are for a falling barometer in the northern districts, with strong northerly winds bringing cloudy and probably warm and wet weather. Strong westerly winds aro probable south of New Plymouth and Napier, with cloudy and unsettled weather. The glass will probably rise in the South after twentyfour hours. D. C. BATES.
