Copra Prices In N.G.
p. 17 · Read in the full issue
[To the Editor.]
Sir, —In the current number of the P.I.M., on page 4, Mr. W. R. Carpenter makes comparison between the price paid for copra in Rabaul and that net ted by shippers per s.s. “Bremerhaven.”
I take it the “Bremerhaven” picks up the copra at the plantation and saves the planter the freight between his plantation and Rabaul and, in that way, creates a balance in favour of “Bremerhaven” shippers of, say, 15/or £1 per ton.
I am, etc..
Andros.
