Supplies
AS a result of the severe storms which swept Vlti Levu, in the Fiji Group, at the end of January, and early in February. Fiji has not been able to ex port to New Zealand her usual quota of bananas. From about February 14 to February 22. the shortage of bananas in New Zealand was so acute that prices rose to 6d. per pound.
Additional supplies of bananas soon reached New Zealand from Samoa, the Cook Islands and Tonga, so that what has been Fiji's severe loss has been a welcome gain for the other territories.
Mr. C. Branster, S.D.A. missionary, Fiji, reached Sydney in February, on leave.
