BAOTOU, Sunday. — An overcast sky is the word from the Baotou station, with a high of 2° and a low of -5°. That is 3° colder than Baotou usually sees in November, when highs average 4°. Barely a breath of wind stirs from the WSW, gusting to 8 km/h, and the glass is rising, a sign of settled weather.

Looking over the next 3 days, our correspondent reckons Tuesday the pick at about 7°, while Monday night will be the coldest at -8°. Not a drop is expected in that time. Those keeping stock should see to the water troughs, for ice is likely.
