HAWAIIAN COPRA
PLEASES IMPORTERS

George A. Moore & Co, commission
merchants. of San Francisco, see nc
reason why Hawaiian copra should not
compete more than favorably with
other South Sea copra in the mainland
market. In letter to the Honolulu
Chamber of Commerce they write:
San Francisco, November 81, 1908.
Honolulu Chamber of Commerce, Ho-
nolulu, T. Fl.
| Dear Sirs: We beg to call to your
attention the large consumption in this
market of dried cOcoanut, commercial
| " known as copra, which reaches as
| high as fifteen thousand tons per an
nun. Most of our importations are
| brought from the Pacific and South
| Sea Islands, but having recently seen
small parcel which issued from the
Hawaiian Islands of very good quail
itv it occurs to us and we see no rea
son why large quantities of this could
not be brought from the American is
land possessions, notably the Hawaiian
Islands.
For your information we would say
that the ripe cocOanuts are cracked
open and exposed to the sun, where
upon the meat shrinks from the shell
and the dried meat itself constitutes
the commodity above referred to,
which is today realizing in our market
33sc. U. S. gold. We would there
fore appreciate it very much if
you would bring this matter before
the notice of the various planters who
are in position to supply copra in any
quantity, no matter how small, and
from whom we should be glad to re-
ceive consignments, for which we
would make prompt returns according
to the market conditions on arrival; on
the other hand. we have no doubt
there is considerable waste land on
your different islands available for
coeoanut plantations, and we would
suggest that you strongly urge upon
such landowners the ACCESSIBILITY OF
fostering this industry.
Coeoanut plantations in the Pacific |
Islands for the production of copra
have now become quite an extensive |
and profitable venture. and we have
no doubt it would prove so to your
planters.
Trusting to have the pleasure of /
hearing from you by an early oppor-
tunity, we remain, yours very truly,
GEO. A. MOORE & co.
