It will be noted how small is the proportion of medium (en- 

 /refine) rubber in the arrivals. The proportion becomes much 

 larger, however, after the classification at Mandos, as will ap- 

 pear from the following details of rubber exports from Manaos 

 during the year :

(•Largely lubber from Bolivia, consigned :o Pari.] 



These figures do not embrace rubber shipped direct from 

 Iquitos, from which source 1,410,961 kilograms passed Paid 

 during the calendar year 1902. Nor do they include certain 

 shipments of rubber produced in the state of Ama/.onas below 

 Manaos, and going to Para or direct to Kurope, the whole 

 amounting to 44.523 kilograms. 



Statistics are not available of the exports of rubber from 

 Para, exclusive of what was received from up the river, but a 

 combined statement for Para and Manaos makes this showing : 



Para and Manaos stocks, December 31, 1901 kilos 1,313,000 



Combined receipts 28,328.780 



Aggregating 29,641.780 



Combined exports 28,549,780 



Stocks December 31, 1902 1,092,000 



If there be subtracted from these exports the total figures for 

 the movement through Manaos, including the direct shipments 

 from Iquitos, and the small amounts from Amazonas ports be- 

 low Manaos, there remains 10,832.542^ kilograms to be re- 

 garded as the produce of the state of Para.
