Shipments.
From Our Own Correspondent.
APIA, June 20.
THE last “Maui Pomare” took only about 4,300 cases of bananas, though 7,000 cases were offered for ship ment.
This small shipment is reported to be due to a shortage of boxes available, owing to lack of organisation.
The Administration announces that a new contract has been concluded, which ensures the continuance of regular monthly banana shipments by the “Maui Pomare” till the end of the current year. It is assumed that the present rate of 2/- per case will be paid to producers under the new contract.
