THE RUBBER MARKET.

Considering the pancity of business transacted is rubber shates of inte, market conditions have shown remarkable standiness and stability.

As a matter of fiet, signs of Inherent strength have not been wanting in the last few days, while the shares of the more repated and dividend paying companies have been attracting a little attention on the higher dividends which are being declared compared with inst year.

There does not seem to be much giving a in the price of rubber, which once more crossed the 10s, mark on Wednesday, and this was not without influence on shares. Of late there have been very for ovidences of professionel solling in share tireles. Liquidation on the part of holders who were at one time hard prossed to provide for instalments on recent issues would seem to have equaed. Another heavy batch of special settlements has boon. disposed of without difflonity, although ru moure of possible troubles were, as usual, freely circulated, no doubt with the intention of unsettling the market. If any diffenities at all have arisen în connection with these

apoeiat settlements they sau have been of minor in portance only, and possibly canined to certain dealers' ondentours to borrow shares of which they were short. It is a fact that some of the settling companies themseires were actually approached by jobbers on the Block Exchange who had sold short, and who wanted to borrow shares for delivery,

to

A SOUND POSITION. Consumers of rulber pro stiil snxious to make contracts for supplies for long ahead delivery at very stiff prices compared with those quoted oponly for spot and near at hand deliveries, a fact which naturally serves to confirm the opinion consistently taken by optimists that the position of the market is intrinsically sound, and that too much fuss is made over the course of affairs at the public auctions. The supplies in the hands of manufacturers continuo. to be Arsen

upon, more especially in the United States, where the best information available suggests that the reserves are pretty well down the safety limit the inference being that American buying ou a brisk scale should soon be witnessed again in the European markets. Cortainly there has been lately a little more interest shown hereon North American account, though without any of the feverish rush of buying seen when prices neared their opex.

The point of chief interest le how long can consumers go on drowing upon invisible supplies, European manufactures are pretty busy, and latterly have been making considerable advances in their selling prices, thus enabling them to recoup themselves for the enhanced cost of raw material, while the motor industry continues to expand. French manufacturers are hopeful of seonting considerable business very soon from the big Paris motorbus scheme, which has just been arranged at the instance of the local Muni. cipal Council. The idea is to provide a modern rapid transit service of motor bases in place of the somewhat out-of-date system, and the con- cassion for which has been secured by La Com pagala Generale des Omnibus, which will even hally place several thousand motor vehicles on the road. Special requirements of Hio Janeirs in Brazil have resulted in an order for 110 vehicles including delivery fans, lorries, charabanos, and motor cabs, being secured by British work, in keen competition with France and Germany this being probably the largest foreign order land. for motor vehicles or has been entamed Taking the world over, it that the motor vehicle trade will alone require 35,000 tons of rubber for tyres during the present year--this representing about half the grade rubber production, hence the magnitudo of this industry and its effect upon rubber can mily be appreciated.

ARTIFICIAL RUBBER,

There seems to be another little stir in some quarters regarding the production of artificial rabber displacing that of the natural raaterial, but it may be doubted whether this phase of the matter is deserving of very much consideration at pressat. Undoubtedly there is a good deal of re-working ap of old rubber going on but even this entails the admixture of new rubber, and it remains to be seen whether or not the resulting product possesses the unique qualities of nature's growth. Naturally high prices for rubber tend to ingresas the use of substitutes wherever and whenever possible, but if this results in a deterioration of quality this as a rule has a refler nation in & ravulsion of feeling on the part of the final users. The talk about the Americans having devised a

a secret proves for turning out artificial rubber in such quenti ties as to enable manufacturers there to do without the natural article, is the shearest non- sense, the supply of substitutes having no more to do with the recent abstention of buying by Americans in London than has the disappear- ance of Halley's Comet. What America is

try- ing very hard to do is to render herself indepen- dent of the open market for rubber, to which end the United States Rubber Company is now endeavouring to seguire sufficient plantations in Brazil and the Middle East to provide all its requirements.

American manfacturers hate to be held at the morey of European dealers in the matter of raw supplies, and commercial his- tory contains several instances in which they have revolted successfully, and also instances whers they have been unsuccessful, in break- ing down went they regard as a thraldom. One of the latest of the latter was when leading American consumers of tin decided that they would no longer consent to bent the mazey.

of London or Singapore, and to this end erosted a huge plant for smelting tin from the ore sear New York. They intended to bay the ore in the Federated Malay States and ship it to America, but they reckoned without their host, for the Government of the Straits Settlements scented danger to the local smelting industry, and empty enacted legislation which had the

of probibiting the exportation of tin ore. The elaborate Anerican plant has now been dismantled, and the premises are occupied by a butter commany. As regards rubber, however, there would probably be no insuperable obstacle. in the way of American interests acquiring their own plantations, but it would take a long time before such ncquisition Bonessarily added to the world's supplies of the articls. A PRETTY TALL ORDER,

Meanwhile the company named is credited with having purchased 2,700 squaro mils of rubber lands in Brazil, but no information is Touchsafed as to whether the landa bear rubber trees, and, if so, how many, or whether it is

for the growth of rabber. Anyway, the char ing and planting of 2,700 square miles of tre- pleal forest land seems a pretty tall order even for a Yankee another tale is that land hans been obtained in the Samatra" which is belier-

ed to be capable of producing rabber. All this

is very nobulous, however, and the tale is barely worth the telling, except sa indicating tenden- pies and possibilities,

The isorenso in the Liverpool stock of Para rubber against last year was nearly 1.000 tons, but the net increase in the visible supply of Pata grades is only half that amount owing to the insignificant stock hold across the Atlantic. The fact to be considered is that the total quantities afloat from Para are very small. So far as the United States are concerned it may reasonably be sesumed that the dearth of supplice apparently cannot go on much longer, while the roserves in the hands of manufacturers wust have bees drawn upon to a dangerous limit, unless there has been a drastic curtailment of operations by the tyra and other important industries, which is highly improbable according to all accenate. Allowance, of course, has to be made for the moderate supplies of interior grades of rubber drawn from entsidio sources, such as Mexico and Central Amorica, while certain quantities of plantation rubber have boon ob fained direct from the East.
