The Hon. B. Howell Jones, the Delegate from the 
Society to the Intercolonial Convention at Barbados, in 
reporting on the Conference said he thought the strong 
resolution which was unanimously adopted and for- 
warded to the Secretary of State through the Governor 
of Barbados, would meet with the general approval of 
the Society. 
In reference to the shipment of vegetables from Bar- 
bados, about which he had been asked to enquire, Mr. 
Jones said that unfortunately there had been so little time 
to make enquiries. He had been informed, however, 
that there was little or no trade with England for vege- 
tables except that now and again a small isolated ship- 
ment was made. A gentleman had promised to give him 
more precise information, which, when he received it, he 
would lay before the Society. 
On the motion of the Hon. W. A. Wolseley, seconded 
by Mr. A. E. Messer, a vote of thanks to the Hon. B. 
Howell Jones for his services at the Convention was 
accorded. 
The Secretary informed the meeting that he had 
written to Mr. Humphrys in reference to the proposed 
shipment of yams and tannias and that Mr. Humphrys 
had replied that he would inform the Pomeroon farmers 
of the willingness of the Society to ship the vege- 
tables. 
In the absence of Mr. Hargreaves (who did not arrive 
until near the close of the meeeting), the further discus- 
sion of his motion was left over.
