NEWS FROM INDIAS
A General Lookout Batx fell in almost all provinces during the past ten days, but none complains of season able weather except Bengal, which remarks that it was in excess of agricultumt require. ments. It saved several parts from something approaching, a water famine, but it had little chert in Rajputana where there are now six thousand persons in receipt of famine relief. In that part of the country agricultural oparitions are proceeding satisfactorily, however, and land is being,

Preparations for monsoon cultivation are progressing generally; and sowing
is going on in Karachi, Shikarpur, and Kanam, Fodder is sufficient, except in parts of Sind and Barola territory, Agricultural stock is healthy, Prices have risen in four and fallen in three districts; elsewhere they are stationary. In Madras cultivation is proceeding and standing crops are in n satisfactory condition Pasture is scanty, but fodder is sufficient, so the condition of cattle is generally good. In the North Western Provinces and Oudh, the stan- ching crops are doing well and are being irriga. ted where necessary? The extra crops are being harvested in parts and the preparation of fields for the autumn-crops and sowings continues, Prospects are favourable and supplies and fod der are sufficient. The outlook in the Punjab is not quite so bright, but the Kashmir prospects are declared to be excellent. Burma reports show the standing crops in Katha to be doubt ful. They are pour in parts of Mandalay, but they are fair in the Ruby Mines district, and good elsewhere. Assam hopes for a good ten crop, though red spicer is prevalent. Berar and Hyderabad are not quite cheerful, for fodder is insufficient in parts of the Wun district and the water supply is inadequate in others.
Cholera and Plague.
The public health still improves in Bombay chy, these being noticeable a further fall of 179 on the week. One hundred and twenty-four persons admittedly died of plague, and of these the highest number, eleven, occurred in Umar klad Upper Colaba, South Fort, Esplanade and First Nagpada were entirely free. Measles carried off 20 patients, phthisis the extra- ordinarily high number of eighty-one and affec tions of the respiratory organs which may mean neumonic plague-z1. Plague officers are still vigilant, though they now have very little to do. They inspected 9,320 houses, however, and disinfected 1186. Of the entire popula tion of 921,764,, according to last census only 35,032 persons in Bombay city have been in uculated, the total for last week being one. People are less indolent and indifferent in the inofussil, where in some townships practically the entire population has been inoculated Mr. Woodburn's district returns show that new cases in the Panch Mahals were nearly sporadic, and that the total mortality from all causes was below the avenge of the preceding three years. In Thana indigenous cases and deaths rose to 93 and 84 during the week from 82 and 68, respectively. The increase was due to the villages of Manori and Vesave, in the Salsette Taluka, which reported 35 and 17 cases, respectively, and also to the village of Akarpati Pophran, in the Mahim Talaka, where 12 cases occurred in the sheds outside: The collector visited Bhewndi, which end eight cases during the week, and found the infected quarters, Jalan Taluka, the

the
of Mohan, Unibargaon Petha, was newly infected, and five cases occurred among the Dheds, who are sup posed to have brought the infection from the Damaun territory. The number of infected villages in the whole district was 18 during the week. In Nasik recent rain caused the people of the evacuated quarter in Sinnar to return to their houses; and to this cause the increase in Sinnar is probably due. There was no newly infested village during the week. A marked improvement is reported from the Kolaba dis trict. The Karachi report shows that a rapid subsidence of plague preceded the out break of cholera, in consequence the Plague Com mittee have permitted re-occupation of the Old Town and the market quarters, which have been free, from plague:

ricken people. It is said the cause of the outbreak muy be attributed to the consumption of water and mish melons, which are largely purchs ed by coolies. Untipe or averipe fruit is very unwholesome, and in order to stop the spread of choleraic germs the Karachi papers are ciling upon the authorities to stop the sale dificult of adoption, as a man has a perfect of this fruit. Such a step would be very right to by what he desires to eat with his own money. If, however, the chief cause of the epidemic is due to the consumption of water melons, such knowledge has only to become known to the people, who would sateguar themselves by refraining to make purchases Kamach has had an unfortunate experience recently it has only just recovered from plague, and the vacancy created is filed by cholera. The last annual report of the City. Administration showed that in combatting the while the present epidemic is certain to add to former their treasury was severely drained, their financial distress.
If we might place implicit confidence in the plague returns it would appear that the epidemic has now declined to the level of the corresponding period of last year, and we are relief. From 1,095 cases and 932. deaths about to enjoy another happy, if temporary, throughout the presidency we have fallen to 755 and 600 in the week reported upon. tombay cily returned 176 attacks and 145 deaths, but it is certain that these figures do not truthfully represent the facts. The total num- ber of deaths from all causes was 829, and the 178 to be accounted for. They should be added weekly avenge in normal times is $56, leaving under the heading of plague and the total deaths set down at 273 if we want approximate accuracy. Cases are systematically concealed, not merely by native hakims,, we regret to say, but by medical practitioners who woukl like to be con- know this, and more than one report has been sidered as of higher standing District officers sent in to Government on the subject. But the difficulty of producing sufficient evidence to justify a conviction is great, and it is not possible to keep the Public Prosecutor as fully of the kind. The mofussil returns, which are employed as he otherwise would be over cases
bay, show decreases in almost every district and more worthy of acceptance than those in Bom- State. Poona city figures have risen, and there is a slight increase at Kolhapur, but all other repons are eminently satisfactory,
Railways.
The tremendous drop in the earnings of the Indian Railway Companies between April 1st and May 13ts, as compared with the receipt for the corresponding period in the previous year, calis for consideration. The decrease in these six weeks amounts to thirty-five lakhs, of which account the Great Indian Peninsula recent strike on that system naturally forces accounts for rather more than a third. The itself to the front as the reason to be assigned for this vast difference in a very mild degree such may be the case, but the strike did not begin until May 6th,-whereas the falling of commenced on April 1st. It is obvious, there fore, there is some other explanation, which can well be summed up in a fluctuating wheat market and the cotton crops in the Derars and Central Provinces being in a forward condition. In making a comparison with the figures of 1898 it must be remembered in that year there was a booni in wheat, and

large exports were made both from Bombay and Karachi. This year the gmin trade is decidedly slack, and comparatively very little wheat is coming in from up-country. These two ports are fed by the Front Indian Peninsula and North-Western Railways, and the differen ce in the trade is seen in the fact that they account for twelve and eight lakhs respectively the cotton crops caused cotton to be rushed out of the total deficit. The forward state of down to Bombay in tremendous quantities, and before and up to March 31st the returns of the G. L. P. showed large increases compared with the previous year. These live influences form a satisfactory reason, and, moreover, it is quite probable before June 30th, there will be still further decrease. This lessening of goods traffic is not due to differences between the G. I. P. Company and their signallers, as, if that were the cause, why should the B, B. and C. I. Company show a falling off of four lakke? 1 an examination of the returns of both these Companies be made it will be found that both are showing decreased returns in ratio to the increase they have shown in the previous year, In the case of the former it was no less than sixty-eight lakhs, and 1898 was almost a record for the G. P. The returns from May 13th to June 30th will contain the effect of the recent strike, but the Company say they suffered little or no loss in the carriage of merchandise. Their goods traffic: was certainly dislocated for a few days, but instead of being: at Bombay it was standing at the various stations along their line. It may be reasonably surmised that merchants, who are very careful, held back for forward contract, and this may have at effect on the railway rotums. On the other hand, certain. firms sold forward heavily and to advantage, inis dead. the belief that the strike, would not affect the running power of the Company, and this view has proved correct
Bright Prospects... The reports which are prepared in reference to the coming season give evidence that in all parts of India there is the promise of a bountiful harvest. Faraine and plague rendered thou sands absolutely destitute, but the favourable crops of last season materially, relieved their straitened resources, and the prospects of a second fruitful season will further assist them to free themselves from financial difficulties. The final report on the wheat crop of 1898-99 in Bengal gives the total area cultivated in wheat in 1898-99 a 1,594,600 acres against 1,569,500 acres sown in the previous year. The increase of 16 per cent. is due to the favourable character of the season, The average arca sown during the past five years is 1,483,500 acres only, but the normal area under wheat in these Provinces, according to the latest estimates, is as high as 1,603,700.
