Coconut Fibre From
CEYLON merchants have found a good war time market in Australia for coconut fibre, a large quantity of which is being imported for our bedding manufacturers, for use in place of the now unprocurable Javanese kapok. The landed price for super-quality fibre, is quoted at £36 per ton, in store Sydney. It is processed here, and the finished product is stated to be relatively dust-free, and satisfactory as a fill ing material for a range of articles which in normal times would carry a kapok filling.
