Saturday 22nd December 1883.

AS Christmas Day will nave come and
gone before the issue OF our next number,
we have to avail ourselves of this opportu-
nifty, though rather early, to wish our read
ers A MERRY CHRISTMAS. Apart from
the associations of the season, there are
reasonable grounds for us in this island at
the present time to be COntented and happy.
We have been again blessed with %idvoula-
bic weather for our crops, and the prospects
for the coming season are therefore good,
not to say excellent. Prices seem to nave
passed their lowest point in 1887, and
though they nave not been much better
during the present year, they have been
better, and 9re still more promising for the
future. In the meantime stress Of circum-
stances has compelled improvements in our
staple industry which we should perhaps
not have seen for years yet, had the pres
sure not been felt. On the whole, it seems
to us, that the island is in a hopeful posi-
ton and fairly well prepared to take al,
vantage of any turn in the tide with which
West Indian affairs may be favOured. Let
us enjoy our Christmas festivities in the
hope that such d turn may not be far off,
