 considerably. Block sold down to is. 2</., closing at \s. 5</. ; fine Sheet

Late mail advices state: "The market has generally been 

 firm, and although the demand has not been animated, there 

 has been sufficient inclination to buy to impart strength to 

 values, which with reference to Islands descriptions show a 

 moderate advance, whilst the larger arrivals at Manaos have 

 had a contrary effect on Upriver kinds." 



In relation to the measure at one time proposed at Para, to 

 levy a prohibitive tax upon Cameta rubber— mentioned some 

 time ago in this Journal— Messrs. Kanthack & Co. (Para) ad- 

 vise The India Rubiser World, as follows : 



The government after investigation has abandoned the idea, being 

 convinced that the districts now producing Cameta are incapable of 

 producing fine, owing to the damage to the trees so lucidly explained 

 by your correspondent. As to your correspondent's belief that com- 

 plete rest would restore their milk giving power to such worn ou 

 trees, we are unable to hazard an opinion.
