RUBBER SPECULATION.
Effects of the Boom Examined in Detail.
Prospects of Dividend on Shares Bought at Recent Prices.
In the following tables and notes the object is to place before those who are interested in rubber properties some fairly reproientative groups of shares under what we call old and now formations, the latter being companies formed during the rubber boom period. There is no pretence of making the lists complete, but they are typical and the averages derived from them will apply, with a fair degree of accuracy, to the whole of the rubber companies in Malaya..... When examining the prospects of a particular company closely readers will have to takṣ bots of the average age of subbat given lower down the column, and of the ampunt of uncalled Capital In the case of the new formationé a précis of the information given in the prospectuses will be found in the Notes on New Formations:"
Some of the prices to which'shares have risen appear to be extravagant, and so they are, possibly, il viewed as long investments: But in examining the figures we have been not a little impressed by what we may call the reasored expansion of values. They may be ilustrated by taking the first, the last, and the middle company in the "old formations. list. Io each case the market has raised the price to over £500 per planted acre, viz. Anglo Malay 35. Valambrosa 512, Kuala Lumpur £$13. Now, we know the actual output of rubber by each of these companies in January, and have every reason to suppose that it-will-increase-month-by-month-during-the-present-year, ..... Anglo-Malay actual output in January was 44,306 Ibe, and we take it at a monthly average of 55,000 lbs. for the whole ́year; Kuala Lumpur actual output in January was 45,635 lbs, and we lake it at average of 50,000 lbs Valambrosa actual outpat'io January, was, 30,000 lbs, and we take it,at average of 40,000 lbs. We assume that the net profit will be 4/- per 1b, on the year's output of each of these 'companies and on this basis we work out the results as follows:-

No doubt some of the companies have increased their planted area' since the statistics we bave used were made up, but very young rubber does not greatly change the valuation of an estate. Comparethe market price of such a "new formation" as Merlimau with that of any of the old companies which are producing rubber.
The tables and nater, we hope, will prove useful to investèrs even if they merely serve to show the varied factors that should cater into an estimate of valuation.
