No. 47. Sir, — Cook and other Islands Administration, Wellington, 18th May, 1908. I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 15th January last, with returns of imports and exports for the year ended 31st December, 1907. I observe that there was a falling-off in the output of copra for the year, but I hope that your anticipations for a better result this year will be realised. The recovery in the hat trade is satisfactory, and I trust it will be maintained. I have, &c, The Resident Commissioner, Niue. Jambs MoGowan.
