LARGE cargoes of valuable produce continue to leave French Oceania.
The “Michael Kerr” left for Bordeaux, France, on October 15, with 3,000 tons of copra, and 10 tons of vanilla beans. Other copra cargoes have left re cently. Despite a reported recession in the world copra market, the copra price in France remains at the highest level.
Large cargoes of phosphate rock from Makatea are still going to New Zealand.
The “Rabaul” recently discharged here nearly a million super feet of lumber from Canada.
