W. Samoa Copra and Cocoa Shipment
THE SS Nessbank left Apia, W.
Samoa, in April with a total of 2,634 tons of copra and 241 tons of cocoa.
The copra shipment cleared the sheds of all stocks, but there are still some stocks of cocoabeans held by Apia exporters who feel disinclined to sell at the ruling low prices.
A nominal rate of £Stg.l6s was quoted as the best USA FOB price, thoughsome parcels were sold at £Stg. 195 and £Stg. 185 for first and second grade respectively.
