B.S.I. Copra Shipments Delayed

From Our Own Correspondent

Tulagi, Feb. 14.

1 jCHE slight fall in the price of copra , bas not disheartened planters as it might have, as medium prices had come to bg regarded almost as normal. The recent few weeks of almost soaring prices gave a decided lift to Solomon planters, as much mental as actual.

The pity of it is that quite a lot of copra could not be shipped when prices were high, owing to inclement weather.

Much of it is still lying on the beach, depreciating in weight, and, if the present trend continues, depreciating in market price value every Monday morning.
