The falling off in the Brazilian receipts to which attention has been directed already in previous articles kas proceeded farther, and for the first half of

May the reduction, as compared with last year, is quite marked, while compared with May, 1909, it is very striking. The figures for the first half of May this year were about 1,000 tons, but in the whole of last May they were 2,340 tons, and in the whole of May, 1908, they totalled 3,210 tons. Taking the orop seasons to the latest date available, the returns figure out as follows:-

to anticipate any serious injury to such an Occupation from war between the countries named, for hostilities would in the very nature of things be restricted to the large centres of population, and the area impracticable for military opérations, if only by rea- son of their inaccessibility, and which are at the same time the rubber-producing areas, could hardly become
