The Times of Ceylon some little tim
back published the account of an IN
teresting interview with X. p. Doudney
the well-knOwn manager and visiting
agent OF the Mylambavelly group o
cocoanut estates of Batticaloa, Ceylon
In the opinion of this authority, IN
present high price of copra is undoubt
eddy due to an increasing demand TO
lubricants, and also to the fact that tn
world is becoming cleaner as it become
more civilized, and he sees no rcaso
to anticipate fall in the price; II
however, the huge tracts of land ia tn
Straits, lava and elsewhere at presen
undeye!oped were planted in cocoanut
aud hogan to send out pro luce, the MAJ
ket might be affected, but 1t would b
a steadying effect, not necessarily
weakening one Discussing direct trat
ing, Mr., poulney pointed out that !
did not pay to ship copra direct froi
the estates TO the actual consumers
such parcels were usually too small
reulizc full prices. II was better /
soil To the local dealers any parcels les
than one hundred tons, aud certainly
less than fifty tons. This advice, say
the FIJI Times, We can fully conin
as We consider that one hundred tons d
eopra is the advisable limit ia size
ship. send parcels as much lprger d
Won can but not smaller II YOU do yo
will make % mistake, for you draw onl
tho small bidders, your parcel not hrin
worth the attention OF the large buyer
