It affords me great pleasure to congratulate you upon the con- tinued and increasing prosperity of the country. Our trade, both with British and with foreign countries, is rapidly expanding, and there is every prospect that its volume in the present year will be largely in excess of that attained at any time in the past. CROPS AND CENSUS.
