·DECEMBER RUBBER `

The Chinese are extremely skilful carvers and their ivory work is know the world over. This industry is mostly carried on in Canton and much of the output is sent here for transhipment to Europe and America. The volume of business done in a year used to amount to about two million dollars, of which about 80 per cent, was for America and 20 per cent, for Europe. But! during the last two years there has been a big decline and business has been reduced to in insignificant figure. This was owing to the com- petition of Japanese ivory but their work is inferior to that of the Chinese. The factor in their favour, however, is cheapness and they bare captured a large portion of the America market. The local market Java Consolidated
