Prom Our Own Correspondent

Noumea, Aug. 3.

AFTER four years completely cut off from trade with France, New Cale donia has contracted to sell her 1944-1945 harvest of Robusta coffee to the Provisional Government of the French Republic. It will be supplied to the people of liberated France at 11 francs a kilo f.o.b. Noumea.

The US Army already buys the. colony’s output of Arabica coffee, which is roasted locally for the troops. (It was reported in August “PIM” that no further purchases of Robusta coffee would be made by Noumea merchants after July 1. They stated that it was almost impossible to sell this grade over seas.)
