Rise In Overseas
QUOTATIONS for crusher-grade groundnuts—or peanuts as they are better known in this part of the world —rose sharply by as much as £Stg. 2 per long ton dur ing the last w r eek in October, East African nuts being quoted at from £Stg.72 to £Stg. 75 c.i.f. per long ton, or 7id to 8d per lb approxi mately, for kernels.
Nuts in shell were quoted at around £Stg.sl or sid. per lb.
Top grade kernels, not intended for crushing (oil extraction), were not quoted, but no doubt rose pro portionately.
