MALACCA
The trade is almost entirely with Singapore and the Federated Malay States. The cultivation of tapioca has hitherto been the principal industry, an area of about 40,000 acres being under tapioca cultivation, but Rubber is now extensively planted and several large Companies have been floated to buy up small estates. There are now 35 companies at work in Malacca, with a capital of over $15,000,000. The export of rubber in 1910 was 6,700 piculs, as compared with 2,500 piculs in 1909, the value of the export being increased from $807,000 to $2,700,000. The construction of a railway has had considerable influence on the cultivation of tapioca, inasmuch as the demand for pigs (which are largely fed on tapioca refuse) has risen owing to the increased facilities for sending them to the Federated Malay States.
The revenue of the Settlement in 1910 was $1,342,005, showing an increase of $620,723 in a single year.
