MoNS. A. SCHEIBLER, manager of the Crude Rubber department of 

 the Company for General Trade, Limited (Antwerp), has been traveling 

 in the United States of late, studying the conditions of the rubber in- 

 dustry there. The importance ol the consumption in America of Congo 

 rubbers renders of special interest to the Antwerp houses the develop- 

 ment of the industry on the western side of the Atlantic.

Hecht, Levis & Kahn, London and Liverpool, report [Sep- 

 tember 30] : 



Mr. Felix Dorn, who has been connected with our firm during the 

 last 17 years, having received a very favorable offer from friends in 

 another trade, wc feel that we ought not to stand in his way, and have 

 therefore reluctantly agreed to terminate his engagement from this date. 

 Consequently from to-day Mr. Dorn ceases to represent or sign our firm. 

 Our best wishes accompany Mr. Dorn in his future career. 



Mr. Dorn is a native of Saxony ; after gaining a business ex- 

 perience in Berlin, he became Identified writh the British woolen 

 trade ; in 1887 he entered the Liverpool office of Hecht, Levis 

 & Kahn, where, for a number of years, he has been joint repre- 

 sentative of the firm.
