"RUBBER RECORDS.

GREAT CONFIDENCE IN FUTURE PRICES:

Production and consumption, says the Lon don and Chine Express, are the two leading polate in the rubber position; "and-it-doen mot" seem likely that the former will overtake the Intter for some years to come. Copsqquently the opward movement would seem likely to con. linde in the bare market. We have asked the question several times recently as to how long the movement now in progress for some months will last both to the upward trend of prices and in the production of new companies, la some well-informed quarters it is believed the boom will only be ended by financial considerations. There will not be money enough to keep on indefinitely, and a shortage of capital is spoken of This may be so bist we imagine if there are still prefis to be made that the money will somehow be forthcoming.

There has been a marked increase in the demand for melor cars, and many of the purchasers declare that they have to thank robber for their being able to afford an automobile. Rubber dinners of the most luxurious order are quite a feature of the beginning of this season, and charities have come in for their abate of the boom,
