Suva, Jan. 17.

THE usual post-holiday depression in Suva during January is rather more marked than usual. Christmas in all parts of Fiji probably constituted a peacetime record —people are still asking

where the money came from—and the Colony is now in the throes of reaction.

Suva’s weather is carrying on the 1949 tradition, and the Suva Cricket Associa tion has had only two playable Satur days in the 1949-50 season to date. The January 14-15 week-end provided about 8 in. of rain, 7.23 in. of it in a few hours on Sunday.
