Even those few authorities who command the respectial alleation of men ctually engaged in the indushy ste moze or Tess at a loss to account entirely for the present tendercy or to put a limitin the decline. Th ́i is doobtiers des in part to the fact that India. subber, while not by any meats a new com, modity, is being pai to many new nice, a cir. cumstance which bas very largely altered the conditions prev.ling is the Indeury, Plania tion rubber, for instance, is practically & new commodity, with all t'e drawbacks kud sur prises for manuf.cturers which that usually entails. Hence it comes about that one hears

from time to time of manufacturers stating, with all due impressiveness, that they have never used a pound of plastation grades in theid wirs, bat have csified their purchases to ice hard Para alote. Tyre moufacturers are particu

·larly ford of maklog this boast, and it must be confessed that hey should be able to put the respectiva varieties of subbar, to as corclusive afest as Roy. For osem innfacturer, however, who bas confiard himself to fine kard Para, there are a score who hate experimented, more or less, sy.tomically, with other subritates likely to p ove suitable for the pa poses to which Para rubber has vital y bien put. It is perficily tros that the empiricists are appirant- ¡y as far removed as ever from discovering an affici've substitute for indis-rubber, but there ara a gaɔd miny vuisties ofthat article, 's me of them ba'ng regarded in the "trado as little batter than tab,li u es, Heace it is that one beers some hi, bly suggestive stories is trade c'scles of manuf cturers having large quasti- ties of manufactured goods thrown bick on

The production from qa'r ers cutsideof Bread and the East amounts to about 15,000 tons per annum, and it is more than doubtful if (la baleg increased to any Extra! So the total increase in the output meantime does not represent more than, say, ia per cent, at the outside, and le capable of marked acceleration only through the gradual development of Eastern plantations which have come into cultivation during the past year or W Some writers have „mado elaborate calculations showing a much greater increate in the output, but they bave taken every new company as representing bow producer, whereas to the majority of cases these com panies bare bat taken over estates already planted to a gratter or less extent."logg

PROSFECTS OF CONSUMPTION. Everytblog may be said to turn upon the consumption. Should the demand for mand factured goods not prave sufficient to provide an outlet for the supply of rubber coming to market, then the prosperity of the plantation as wol at the wild rubber industry is at an end, but everyday exparlaice shows the costray to be the case. Prices have fallen. by practically 100 per cent. form the bighast touched to the third week of April last, but all the rubber that in offered is readily absorbed - except daring the brief period when buyers combined in mo effort'to break the market—and the auroudce- mout his just been simultaneously made by a number of plantation companies that they have sold soma faftly large quantities of rubber |
