The crop of bananas in Samoa this season has been good, according to Mr Thornton Jackson, who returned' by the Matua, after spending two months in the Islands. Mr Jackson said that although bananas were plentiful at Apia little or no copra was being produced, as the oversea market prices had collapsed and the natives found the return was uneconomic. At Nukualofa hurricanes had ruined .the banana crops, apd very few were being sent from there to New Zealand.
