Conanumption Last year was estimated at 67,500 tons, and, as it ia said to be increasing at the rate of 5 to 1 per cont. per annum, it should smount to over 91,30 tons on the basis of an annual increase of 3 par cent. It is a fact that for the last seven years production has barely kept pace with "con. sumption, unil, owing to the increasing demand, the trees in the more easily reached districts of the Amazon basin- still the principal source of sapply--have been so ruthlewly lapped that it has become necessary to penetrate deeper and desper into the interior, with a resultant in croase in the cost of collection. It may be added that the supply from West Africa, föli from 17,000 tons in 1907 to 15,009 tone in 1908, Hence, with the doubt as to the possibility of any substantial increase in the supply of wild rubber, there is a simple explanation for the numerous rubber plantations which have recently been started, of which the majority ure in the Federated D'alay States, in the form of limited liability companies While the entput of plantation rubber was only 2,000 tons last year, the estimated increase in its production to 30,000 tons by 1912 will not be much, if at all, in excess of the growth in consumption, which, as above stated, is expected to rouch more than 91,000 tons in 1912, showing an increase of some 24,000 tons from the present basis. It might well be supposed that wild rubber could be produced more cheaply than the cultivated article, and that a fall in prices would affect the latter more than the former.
