Rise of Caustic Soda, Caustic soda, which was raised in price at one time by the cir- calition of a rumour that its supply to Japan from foreign Bources would be necessarily su pended, was imported from Eng- land although in inconsiderable quantities, and also from the United States. This led the con- sumers at bome to think that the circulation of the above-mentioned rumour was a mere ruse for in flating the market artificially. Asa matter of fact, in Great Britain, the producing capacity is much dis counted, for the dual cause of short- age in material as well as skilled labour. In particular, the man facture of caustic soda of stronger quality has become more difficult, and even in the care of stocks of weaker quality the supply has gradually become inadequate. A large number of skilled labourera have gone to the front, and, a cording to a report, the peculiar handicraft capacity of these arti- Bane can be utilized for mana- facturing devices for proteoling Societe des Pulpos et Papier-
