-COMMERCIAL NEWS.

Wolfram In France,

The tungsten requirements of the French Industries for 1917 are considerale, and the question of wolfram procuction-in France has been taken in hand by the euthorities. An official has been specially appointed to keep, în touch with producing companies, and formal assurances rewarding the supply of labour and material have been given. An arrange- ment has been rrived at between the Vaulty et Cieux Company and the Societe, du Giffrs, say important tungsten producer, for the more energetic exploitation of the corces-ion. The deposits in,the vales of tieux are said to contain tin and zold as well as wolfram. Considerable reserves of ore have be-n disclosed,, and at thepres:attime the production is about 10 tons of wolfram a month. It is hoped by the installation of new plant to increase the production up to 30 tons per month, Other wolfram deposits have been worked in the department of Ille et-Vilaine and in the Haute-Vienne. The Puy-les-Vizges Mine, in the later district was the only French producing mine în 1912.

Rubber Growers' Association.

The report of the Rubber Growers' Association of. London states that the membership is 767, consisting of 489 companies and 278 individuals. The increased membership since the issue of the last report is 105. Luring the year 1916 various matters of importance to the industry were dealt with by the Association. It is stated that the "Emergency Committee has been much occupied with the problem of finding a remedy for the injustice of the existing profits duty as it affec s young producing companies." The Board of Re- ferees has been, approached by". the committee to grant to Java and Sumatra tea companies the same concession, as his already` been granted to the Indian and Ceylon le industries, namely, that the statutory percentage ba increased to 8 per cent. in the case of companies and to 9 per cent. in the case of private estates, A reply has however, not as yet been received. In the case of rubber companies having their estates, interplanted with coffee or other crops excess profits duty has been levied on profits as though the estates were rubber estates only, without having to separate the profits derived from coffee or other crop The accounts for the year show a revenue of £1,822, of which £1,216 was derived from sub- script ons, and a balance income over expenditure £1,506.
