WEATHER REPORT.

The Hongkong Observatory yesterday issued the following report:

On the 14th at 11.55 am-The depression lying over N.E. Japan yesterday a moving away over the Pacifio.

The baronteter has falled considerably in S. W. Japan and risen moderately on the E. coast of China. The depression lying over the latter ares yesterday has reached the Sea of Japan.

The high pressure still extends Westwarda from the Bonins towards the N.E. part of the Chius flea, but with a tendency to give way in the latter area.

Fresh to moderate S. and S.E. winds may be expected in the Formoss Channel and over the northern shores of the China Sea.

The output of rubber in the plantations of the Middle East is making its usual steady progress, batconsiderable time is likely to elapse ere it reaches suficiently large proportions to revolutionise the condition of the market. A few thousand tons more output this year in Malays and Ceylon over last year does not amount to very much in the face of the pro-current to any diseased internal organ may It is now claimed that the application of the gressive world's consumption, which already runs produce a healing effect. into considerably more than 70,000 toas per sanum. More partionlar interest has just lately been aroused by the prospective supplies over the next few months from the Amazon region which is, of course, the chief old source of production. Looking at the latest statistics available in respect to the Brazilian orop, the total results for this season are likely to be less if not a good deal less than many people were led to suppose in the last few months, and this in spite of the high prices commanded. These have, without question, done much to accelerate the gathering of the orop, as shown by the rather large returne recorded in recent months, but these were to some extent misleading. Since the end of April, when the surplus over the previous seasons was about 1,500 tons, the Pars receipts have undergone a considerable sontraction. It has to be remembered that this season's figures compare with a record orop. When the details for the end of the crop season are issued it is quite possible that the surplus shown for the ten months may be reduced to a negligible quantity. The following crop figures of Para receipts so far available are interesting:- July 1, 1907, to May 31, 1908 34,500 tons. July 1, 1908, to May 31, 1909 36,520 July 1, 1909, to May 12, 1910, ...36,580

As regards the 1909-10 season, it must be remarked that amount included for the twelyo days in May is only 800 tour, which points to very small arrivals for the entire month probably less than in May, 1909-while Last month's receipts were 3,600 tone. Under The forecast for the 24 hours ending at noon, such circumstances it may de inferred that the to-day is as follows:- reporte from Fara over the remainder of the Hongkong & Neighbourhood season will be very considerably reduced. The whole of the previous crep was not much more Ferraons Channel than 38,500 tous, so that the accounted for in May and Justities yet to be South coast of China between Hongkong and Lamocks. can be only small-say rather under 4,000 tons--which South coast of China between seems to indicate that even with something like a lull in demand old stocks in Europe may have to be drawn upon materially, inasmuch as no important increase can be safely relied upon in the Brazilian supply until the early autumn, when the new crop gets fairly under way. The exports to Europe for April were abnormally heavy-3,660 tons-owing to the unusually small quantity of 470 tons sent to the United States, against 1,910 tons in 1,909 and 1,050 tona in 1908, the year which followed the American financial panic. American consumers have ap- parently allowed their stocks to run to a com paratively low level, possibly in the hops of replenishing them at materisily reduced prices, It remains to be seen how long Amemoan buyers will be able to abstaja from placing orders more consistent with the existenes of a normal consumption, for it is hardly possible to imagine that the condition of the United States manufacturing trades has sustained drastia

any change just lately. The annual report famed by one of the larger American rubber mann- facturing companies fully reflects the enormous expansion of antivity which has taken plase in their last financial year, the increase in the turnover of goods sold to enatomers being, rough- ly, 8,000,000dol, equal to about 27 per cent, over the previous year, although allowance, of course, has to be made for the higher cost of raw material. Unsold stocks across the Atlantis are, ́| it is believed, almost down to vanishing- point. Developments as regards the American demand should therefore be closely watched in the immediate future.

At a meeting in Hanover of representatives of German manufacturers of rubber goods, higher prices have again been arranged all round owing to the rise in the price of the raw product

The labour question is exercising many people's minds in the Middle Eset, where it seems to be feared by some planters that it is only a matter of a few months before difficulties may be met with in securing an adequate, supply of workers in the rapidly developing plantations. The Planters Association of Malays have been giving a great deal of attention to the matter, sad some time

ago appointed a sub-committee to investigate and report fully, realising as they did the very serious situation which under certain even- taslitias might have bo faced. Their report now been prepared and presented, and from this it

it appears that the only solution of the problem is the direct tion of Chiness from Chins into Malaya. At present the Chinese labour in the Fedomted Malay States plantations is recruited Ionally, and is to some extent drawn from the tin mines, This class of labour is peosarily of limited volume, ant as there is already an insuficiency of workers in the mines, naturally competition will be set up between the mine owner and the plantation owner, and should there be a big rise in the price of tin, which some people expect, the scarcity of labour might sot up a very serious state of affairs. The present Aystein of Tarail free labour was started by the importation of Indian immigrants under long indenture, and it is suggested that Chinese agricultural labourers might be introduced en somewhat similar lines. The question as to how such labour should be secured is met by the suggestion that private enterprise should come to the front, and already a company has, it is and, been constituted for the purpose of carry ing out the proposals Properly organised,
