:
THE POSITION OF KÜBBER, The market in raw rubber during the past fow months has been right in surprises, nearly all of which were due to the ustainment of prices never before reached or event expictat At the auction sales recently it provided o surprise of another kind. Previous to the action the market had been quite irregular, but ably since the auction held on April 19 and 20. generally weak, and prices had fallen consider. A lower level of prices compared with the pre was not thought that a basis would be found coding auction was, therefore, expected, but it at which the offerings would be declined by buyers. The result falsified this impression.
When a few years ago petroleum companies were first floated of the London market the practical side of their business managemont was little known here. Few Englishmen hat ever seen an oil well except se globe-trotters inspect ing an interesting phenomenon Consequently there was a lack of competent knowledge with which either to select properties or overse few lots were sold, about 9 tous out of some their development.

To this day it remains a mystery whether the brilliant hopes under which these enterprises started were luckless chimera or sound deductions which thorough exploration would have verified.

As a matter of fact there has been no material change in the actual statistical position of rabbor. Humours are in circulation of scorel supplies hold in stock at Liverpool, but it i difficult to put much faith in those in view of the extraordinarily tempting prices prevailing. and there is nothing in the import #gures to suggest it. The gross imports of rubber into the United Kingdom last year showed an in- crease over 1903 and 1907, but the net imports, after deduction of re-exports, were, while greater than in 1908, smaller than in 1907, 3 shown in the following table

No doubt all great oil fields have been started by pioneers who were at tracted to them by surface "shows," but it is not all surface shows" that are found to overlis payable oil strata. Nothing but putting down the drilling bit will prove whether the indications are wills of the wisp or friendly guides. The means provided for these great erplorations are not always adequate.
The development of an oil territory may take from £1,000 to £10,000 per sore for drilling alone, and when the oil has been proved, farther expenditure will be necessary for roads, pipe lines, and means of communication before the grounds beooraes saleable at high prices. Those observations are not intended to apply to those important conocesions which give sole rights to work for all over a whole kingdom; these great enterprises usually pass into the hands of strong capitalists and the public is not offered participation until the foundations of a more or Jess solid industry haye been laid,
The figures bring out, however, very forcibly the important part played in the rubber market purchases on American account have been here by foreign demands. For these re-exports mainly responsible; and to these purchases, therefore, the recent upward movement in rubber prices has been more or less due. It is said that there were no signs of an American demand at the auctions on Tuesday last and that this frightened other would-be buyers, bat are no stocks of rubber there of salicient it is reported from the United States that there rolame to prove nothing presuming to be precise information is forthcoming.

There is a theory that when a well is giving oil, the flow and the anderground currents that make it, having been started in the direction of that well, will con finne to fellow that coures until diverted-by some considerable forca. Much must depend on how much is given for that special value, a “going concern," and what proportion it bears to the probable bet yield based on the average Ufo of similar wells in the fold. An important consideration in buying producing wells is that they have been so drilled that they can be. readily despenol-that is to say, that the diameter left is good and the casing strong and sufficient.
