There has never been so much money
IN Jamaica as now. The sugar and
banana planters are fast becoming
wealthy. and if the present wave O.
prosperity continues for IA few more
years the island will have at least
q dozen millionaires.
Before the var sugar fetched only
$50 per ton: today it is bringing $500
per ton In the English market. The
Islands Inhabitants are experiencing
great difficulty in getting adequate
supplies. and IT is only through the
action OF the Food Controller that
per cent Of the output is kept for
home consumption. the prosperity
OF planters has led to large
sums being invested in the purchase
OF the most up-to-date machinery
for the manufacture of sugar. An
other central factory costing $1,000
600 Will shortly be erected in the
eastern portion of the island.
Thi years sugar crop has received
a setback owing to a drought lasting
about three months. The result is
that there will be "a shortage In the
