1t affords us very much qualification
TO be able to report thar the drought the
island has been suffering from has at
last been broken by some welc0m, show.
erS. The weather last week was very
peculiar for this time Of year. The heat
was intense, especially on Friday and
Saturday last; there was little wind:
and, on several days, what there was
came from the West and North west.
Rain fell two or three days last week,
but 1t was very partially distributed. Thus,
on Wednesday almost two inches fell in
the parish of st. Thomas, while only a
few parts fell elsewhere. On Saturday
about an inch fell in ST. Philip, whilst
it was intensely hot without any rain in
Town. This week. we are glad to say,
we rave had showers almost every day
and from all We have been able to learn,
they have been pretty general all over the
island. Both old aud young canes will be
the better for these seaSonable showers,
and everywhere one hears the remark, " if
we had got these showers some two months
ago, it would have made a difference of
several thousand hogsheads of agar in the
crop" The young canes have also been
wonderfully improved; a certain cheer.
fitness, if we may so say, being impaired
to their appearance. Of course, advantage
has been promptly taken of this change
in the weather to plant Indian corn, potato
slips, OchrOeS, &C., and in q few places
early yams have been put in. And
last, but by no means least, these showers
, 1889-04-13

have been a boon 60 labouring people
in many parts of the island, who we're con.
PEELED TO travel miles in order TO obtain
water for domestic use. On the other hand,
however, the low winds of last week, and
the showers of this, have very much retard-
ed reaping operate ions during the fortnight.
We are sure, ho viewer. that the planters
cheerfully accept this disadvantage for the
great adyanta ges secured them by the rain
which had fallen. The banks of the young
canes are being fast covered with trash
and the lately mOistened condition of the
fields has enabled the planters to- put i'll
the supplies which were needed so
that We may hope with a few more showers
the young crop will shortly be fairly we'll
established. The rise in the price of sugar,
both in the English and American Market,
has of course affected our local markets also,
and the prices quoted to. day are 1926 per
l00bs., for Sugar, and So for HID, and II
cent per gallon for MOlasseS, and 81 for
punche0n. The quantity of produce ship
ped to date is 1925 hhds. Sugar and 6,942
puns MolasSes against 1,442 hhds., Sugar
and 4,0S5 punS MOlasSes at corresponding
period last year. Since our last Summary
there has been no Improvement in the mar.
ket as regards native provisions, these 6e.

fair prices, and in good supply.-AgricuL
