Apia, Mar. 16.
THE rates for Samoan cocoabeans have recently advanced again and sales for small lots have been
effected on the basis of £290 to £3OO (Stg.) per ton f.o.b. Unfor tunately only very limited quantities are on hand at present, as the new crop is not expected to be harvested before April or May.
It is not expected that the coming crop will be very large as cocoa
plantations have suffered from ad yerse weather conditions and t of the coming crop has turned black.
