Papeete, May 1.
SO far April has proved an unusually wet month in Tahiti, more than 400 milli metres having fallen in the Papeari dis trict to date. The figures for the month will probably be a record for April, which is generally marked by fine weather and only a moderate amount of rain.
Owing to this abnormal precipitation the Chinese market gardens have suffered severely and there is a consequent scar city of vegetables, with comparatively high prices. Weather conditions now appear to be more settled.
