RAFFIA. 
It is perhaps not generally known that all of the Raffia reaching 
this country comes either directly or indirectly from Madagascar. 
While the natural supply there is sufficient the natives who gather 
the Raffia and strip it from the Palms are finding more remunera¬ 
tive work in Railroad building which is in progress there. 
Combined with the low price that Raffia has been commanding 
this has lessened the supply considerably, with the inevitable result 
of greatly increasing prices, so that when the present stock of the 
Importers has been worked off, Raffia is apt to sell at prices prevail¬ 
ing seven and eight years ago— 50 % higher than now.
