It scams probable that during the next six mosthe the demand will continue on the present scale at least, while li may even i undoubtedly be maintained. Later on, how ever, the increase in the supply of raw. material will probably make itself felt, and prices during the latter portion of 1919 may consequently be on a rather lower scale. Oo balance, therefore, it is justifiable to anticipate that the average quotation for the whole of 1910 will be at about the same level as that of 1909 in some quarters it is argued that the rabber plantations in the Malay Stater sud adjacent districts are destined' to feel more severaly in the future the comp:tition of Brasil and other parts of the world wheuce hitherto only wild rabber bas bran exported. The roa (4000 for this contention is that jo those areas.

It does not room probable, however, that the output of cultivated rubber from Brazil will asrama very largo dimensions for some years to come, owing to the fact that whatever steps have been taken, to, form plantations are only of re cent dato, and a considerable period must elapse before these can reach maturity,

consider how such a developmsat, would affect the Malay companies. Evidently, the most important factor is that of the expense of pro- duction. It has hitherto been argued that Brazil will be unable to maintain its predominant position as the chief source of the world's supply of raw rubber owing to the fact that the expenses of collecting this article in its wild state compare unfavourably with the conditions | obtaining in the East. This argument wouldi | of course, also apply to plantation rubber grówn in South America, and it is beyond doubt that the working expensas 'as regards that product would be greater than in the Malay Stater under existing conditions. It has been estimat ed that, owing to the export duty and other Imposts, it would cost as much as 38, per lb, to land plantation rabber from South Americe in [39 London, which gore is at least double the corresponding amount is respect of the Middla East, and this at once seems to negative the anggestion that the cultivation of rubber will. assume very important dimensions in Brazil, | unless, indeed, the conditions imposed by the Government are radically altered.
