Review of the Crude Rubber Market 272 



The India Rubber World appears this month from 

 new offices — No. 3s West Twenty-first street. New 

 York — the former premises, in Nassau street, having 

 become outgrown. The change has been made some- 

 what regretfully, on account of the old offices having 

 been so often visited, for years past, by members of the 

 trade. These are assured of the same welcome at our 

 new address, which we trust they will all bear in mind. 



SAN FRANCISCO NOT CRUSHED. 



nr^HE disaster which a fortnight ago befell the princi- 

 -*- pal American city on the western seaboard was so 

 great that it has not yet been possible to figure out the 

 losses iu life and property. But instead of being dis- 

 mayed, the people of stricken vSan P'rancisco already are 

 planning and working for the rebuilding of their city, 

 with a measure of energy and courage and hopefulness 

 never surpassed at any period iu their past. 



Work suddenly has become a nece.ssity for hundreds of 

 thousands— no matter what may have prompted them to 

 work before, or whether they worked at all. And while 

 their future must re.st upon their own efforts, the great, 

 pro.sperous, growing nation, as a whole, will give its 

 moral support and business cooperation, with the result 

 of hastening the building of a greater San Francisco than 

 before. 



The generosity with which the whole country has 

 contributed to the immediate relief of the city in ashes 

 illustrates the solidarity of the nation, in a way most 

 promising for our future moral and material growth. 

 And this generositj', together with the offers of aid from 

 abroad, proves that the spirit of human charity is still 

 worldwide, and not growing narrower. 



To conclude with a wholly practical view of the San 

 Francisco situation, it is safe to say that, instead of the 

 trade of the country suffering in consequence, every line 

 of production will now be larger. To rebuild a great 

 city, even if done slowly, requires a vast quantity and a 

 vaster variety of materials, and these, for the most part, 

 must be supplied, not out of store, but from new produc- 

 tion 



THE CEYLON RUBBER SHOW. 



^ I ^HE coming rubber exhibition at Peradeniya, in the 

 -^ first place, .serves to illustrate the intelligent care 

 devoted by the British colonial administrations to the 

 development of the resources under their care. It is ap- 

 propriate that this first important rubber cultural exhi- 

 bition in the world should be held under government 

 auspices, since the planting of rubber in the Far East 

 was distinctly the outgrowth of governmental initiation, 

 dating from the time when her Majesty's secretary of 

 state for India commissioned Mr. James Collins to write 

 his " Report on the Caoutchouc of Commerce." The
