The world's production of rubber for the year 1816, which will be on a greatly freased scale owing to the fact that much of the acreage glanced at the time of the rubber barm five or six years ago will now he coming into the market, will probably not be far short of 170,000 tons. It is estimated on good authority that the ecal supply for 1915 was 107,000 tons from plantations, 37,000 tons from Brazil, and 13,500 teas from all other sources. and while the war lasts it appears likely that even this enormous, output can be absorbed, notwithstanding the entire closure of the Middle European markets, which before the war took about 14,000 tons of rubber annually. During the present year it is probable that 15,000 tons in excess of 1915 will be marketed, and we may assume that low Mr A. Hicka prices will continue. The average price Mz J. A. Higgins of rubber throughout 1914 was 29. 34d. Mr W. B. Hind per lb., while last year, in consequence of W. J.
