FLORIDA truckers are not the only ones
who suffered from the cold. We are just in receipt
of letter from Messrs. l.. Connolly & Co.. prom

they say that the tomato crop of the Canary

The Canary Islands supply the English market
with nearly all the tomatoes sold during the

Messrs Connolly & Co. think it would pay Flor

Saturday, 9th May 1898.

The welcome rains Of the early part of this
week have revealed the Weaknesses of our
roads in various places, and afforded some
good lessons on the value Of different kinds
of road materials People who have had Sc.
c4sion to dive along the Centre line road have
found that from about Adventure to Conc1rjia
the greater part Of the road has been covered
on some days with a thick layer Of mud.
Fortunately this condition of things has not
lasted lon. q little sunshine soon takes out
the water, and the soft mud hardens up again
and we once more have a good road. that is
to say, a good fine heather road. The part Of
the centre line road that has best s.ood the
little trial of the week has been the half
nearest Basin, where for the mos part broken
lime stone had been used to cover the road.
The western half had been largely repaired
with gut gravel, which would De an excel
lent material, if it were preparedin the Hgui'
by screening before being carried t. the roa
but without this process it contains too much
fine and soft stuff TO make it a good road
material. One Of the best materials W. have
seen used on the Centre Line road is a hard
white gravel got from the beach in the neigh,
bourhood Of Betty's Hope. We have noticed
that a small piece of road near Whim on
which this gravel has been used has frequent
~ been hard and com laratlvelY dry when tile
road to the east of it has been covered with a
thick layer Of mud. The origin Of this gravel
is interesting. 1t comes from the bank along
the sea shore on the South side by Betty's.
Hope and the neighbouring estates, where it
exists III the mari in the form of irreguiarly
shaped nodules of limestone, evidently concre.
tons from the mari. These no1ules get washed
out as the sea gradually encrsaches on the
land and are rolled up and dow on the beach
till they are more or less rounded. They are
extremely hard and are probebIy 81 very
pure limestone. About the practical question
as t" the supply Of this material and the cost
of Transporting il we are not able o give an
opinion but about its value there can be no
doubt.
The selection of good road material is a
matter of such great importance for those
who have to transport pro1une to tow and
cart out estates supplies that we need scarcely
make an apology for calling attention to it.

criticised for dispensing of the im-
portant question at a single sitting.
The keynote Of the scheme was
rather to prevent the further fall in
exchange than to raise The value of
the rupee.
The fixing Of the provisional rate
of exchange at 4. 4 d provides an
automatic means of preventing the
closing Of the mlnts and the violent
disturbing of exchange rates The
rate of exchange had been high
enough to relieve the government,
while il was well within the limits
of the recent fluctuations.
There should be no mistake, the
viceroy said, about the facts 1t
was not proposed to substitute gold
for silver Currency. No attempt
would be made al present to fix the
legal tender for gold, for while the
ratio Of value va, mentioned 1T was

In conclusion, the Viceroy OK
