Apia, Nov. 5.
TN marked contrast to the cocoa indus try, the Samoan banana industry is enjoying something like a boom, owing to the fact that New Zealand quotas have been increased appreciably for shipments by the Matua. On her last trip she loaded 10,000 cases, while the Maui Pomare took her usual quota of 7,100 cases. Of late weather conditions have been very favourable for banana plan tations, there being ample rainfall.
