✦ Synopsis

Simple cross-correlations between both annual and monthly precipitation totals and equivalent values of the Southern Oscillation Index reveal the expected synchronous positive associations, with a strong signal of opposing conditions in the following year. Inspection of the spatial distribution of significant results indicates the strongest associations in the northern and central areas, distinct from the zones of greatest association identified in South Africa. Analysis at the monthly scale reveals that both positive and negative associations are not evenly distributed throughout the rainy season, but are concentrated in the early and late months of the season. In addition to their practical implications, these findings suggest that the processes inducing precipitation variability in conjunction with the Southern Oscillation are distinct from the linking of tropical and extratropical troughs that are identified extensively in South Africa.

The paper IS reprinted as a contribution to the subjects of price maintenance on proprietary medcines and the cooperative manufacturing and buying movement. The report is not only well written and readable, but presents a fair-minded statement of the retailer’s reasons for being dissatisfied with his present profits on proprietary goods, and shows that the pro rietors are awakening to the necessity of cooperating with him in densing or finding an elective legal method for giving the relief asked for.
