Text description beneath the picture (subject to any spelling errors due to the OCR program used) A MARKET IN DOMINICA. A market in the West Indies is always a gay sight; for the negroes, who have long since adopted European fashions—or, at any rate, a costume which they consider to be a satisfactory reproduction of the attire of white women—have combined with a love of bright, not to say crude, colours which is thoroughly in keeping with the natural surroundings of a semi-tropical country where Nature's tints are exceedingly brilliant. The great need of Dominica is good roads, for the back of the island is practically unapproachable through the thick impenetrable forest. Happily, steps are being taken to improve matters, and with the aid of a grant from the Imperial Government the development of communications in Dominica is being undertaken. Along with other West Indian islands, Dominica suffers from foreign sugar bounties, and looks forward to the day when the Imperial Government will come to its assistance in this matter also. Up to the present time, however, the only actual relief has been the appointment of a Commission which has made a long report but has left the sugar industry where it found it.
