Pamine. Rain in places heavy has fallen during past week on the
Burma Coast, in Eastern Bengal, in parts of Gangetic plain, in South-East
Punjab, and Central India plateau. Rainfall deficient over a large part of
Peninsula. More rain is needed in Central Provinces, greater part of Guzerat,
Indore, Hyderabad, and a few districts Northern India. Sufficient rain has
fallen, however, to cause appreciable fall in number on relief works and
gratuitous relief, which is 65,000 below figures reported last week, and 72,000
below corrected figures. Decrease general except in Ajmer. Accounts received
generally encouraging, health of people good, death-rate normal, and there is
very little epidemic sickness. Prices show a tendency to fall. Relief works
closed in Central Provinces. Everything depends on continuance of monsoon
rain, which is still considerably in defect in Guzerat, in parts of Bombay and
Central Provinces and Hyderabad.
