From Our Own Correspondent.

Apia, Apr. 8.

A COPRA war is reported to be in pro gress on the island of Niue, where the three local buyers are raising prices against each other. They have reached the level of London market prices for the product, to the distinct benefit and great enjoyment of the Niue natives.

Niue copra is much below the high quality standard established by Samoan copra.

Mr. R. F. Pickering has succeeded Mr.

A. B. Thomas as manager of the Bank of New South Wales at Suva, Fiji.
