From the Financial News of September.33 wo take the following loteresting excerpts from the 'contribution of a correspondent:

It had risen to 15 35; 10, while rubber pricot had fucransad by £2 55. per hundredweight the rice of rubber boots and shoes had actually filles by about 11 per cent. it is plain, then, that subber prices may advance by £4 or 65 per hundredweight without actually increasing (permanently, at all' ovacīs), the prices of the finished products of our factories. Are of nearly £5 per hundredweight tenk place is shy early eightles, as shown by the above table; but it was coincident with a greatly increased consumption of the raw material showing that it did not seriously check, the development of the trade.

Rubber is now the raw material for a surprising variety of manufactures-from motor and cycle tyres, bodis and shoes, and waterproof, clothes down to mablog, gloves, stoppers for bottles, and arificial sponges. The total output of all the zubber trades can at present only be guessed ai; but it seems cartalo that it must amount to a very subs antlal sum, At present the census fproduction has only dealt with one small sec igi of those trides—the elastic-web mou factura-and the roas output for this to 1957 is given as £1,037.05. When we consider bow mill a part of the rubber trade is here to presested, it seems pot unlikely that the gross output of the whele must equal or exceed that

of the motor and cycle industries (10643.000) In guy case, whatever be the value of such a rough estimate, we know that the exp⋅r ́s alone have for some years exceeded £1,000,000 per annum, and that they averaged £1,000,000 for the four years to 1908-before the great riso is rubber began.

IMPORTS AND PRICES.

There is another way in which we can obtain ñ rough idea of the total output of rubber manufactures, and that is by considering the home consumption of the raw material. Of course, all the raw material has to be imported

By an invasion of the home markets pur manufacturers are put upon the'r mettle. They diligently Inquire into the causes of their com petitors' success, obtain the latest machinery, improve the quality and finish of their goods, and ead by comlogout on top. In the late nimetles there we a serious jump in imports and only a moderate rise in exports. This appears to have had the necessary bracing effect on our manu factnters; for during the succeeding decade im porti grew very slowly, while exports mounted up by leaps and bounds; so that at the end of that decade the state of our foreign trade in these goods was far more healthy than it had ever been before.

The increase of our trade with foreigners is more than five times as great as that with colonials ; and our sales to Germany, Holland, Belgium, and France »fone have grown more than three times as much as have our sales to a' the Brill.h Possessions combined. It Is remarkable that the trade with our four Europter aoighbone should have increased BO enormously while our net imports from all the world, have remained virtually star tloanry." To the last ve yasis our sales to these four countries were much larger this cur net imports from all sources.

of the splendid progress of the trade, and the fact that for the past five years our factory owosis paid £1,913,00) a year for raw rubber as landed at our ports ('o say nothing of old rubber and other materials used by the trade) is sufficient Indication that the entire angul ou'pul must have averaged £10, 00,co) at the least, and may have considerably exceeded this sum, Of course, so long as robber remains at its pre ant abuormal level the value of the "trada's output will be much greater; for it will te sien that for the first ball of 19:0 the raw ubber retained for home consumption has cost us more than £7,750,000 sterling.

THE SENSATIONAL RISE,

་

It is manifest, therefore, that the trade is now of great importance, and that extremely wide interests are threatened by the sensational sise in robber prices, which became acute in the latter half of 1959. We must not, however, overestimate the effects of that rise as we should do if wo falled to remember the mitigating in: flae-ceof improved methods of manufacture and of economies in the use of the raw material, It is well-known that the goods manufactured row do not generally contain nearly so large a proportion of pure sabber as did the großs made twerly or twenty-five years ago. Judicious mixture of other materials reduces to a minimum the quantity of pure robber requir ed, while preserving in the finished produci all the valuable properties of subber. When this factor is taken into consideration, as well as Improved and cheapened methods of manufac ture, it is seen that a slap of £4 or 25 per hundredweight in the price of subber may taks ...... place without increasing the prices of the quish- ed products at all. Indeed, we know from the Board of Trade records that in rooi the price of rubber boots and shoes exported was £1.28 por-dozen palms, while in igoy it had fallen to (30" 21.14 por dosta pairs. Now, in spoi the price
