throughout the province, although somewhat backward, 
promise a good yield. Highest temperature 92 at Chatham; 
lowest 41 at Moncton.

fine, warm and pleasant, no extremely high temperatures

October. — Unseasonably mild, gloomy and wet, with a

was bare in most sections on the 30th. St. John, maximum
