It is obvious that if there is a loss in oil there must also be 

 a loss in weight of the copra from this source. Buyers of copra 

 recognize that a loss in weight occurs when copra is stored, and 

 they are governed in their purchase by this factor. The loss 

 in weight when commercial copra is stored is shown in Table III.

 in commercial bodegas.
