Apia, Oct. 28.
THE Matua, which sailed to-day, lifted nearly 7,000 cases of Samoan bananas for the Auckland market.
Visitors by the Matua commented on the splendid quality of the fruit exported from Samoa as compared with that from Fiji and Tonga. It was stated that the superiority of our bananas is generally recognised in New' Zealand and conse quently the demand is steadily increasing.
This is due mainly to the efficiency of the Inspector of Produce (Mr. H. Newton) and the w r ell established organisation and inspection he has created.
