IKELEMBA RUBBER, 



A LETTER from a German factory to The India Rubber 

 World says : " We have been buying some Accalamba 

 m'jbei, and as it is new to us there has been a dispute among 

 the officers of our crude rubber department about the source 

 of this grade. As we are aware that this rubber is known in 

 the United States, we have no doubt that you can give us some 

 information about it." 



The rubber referred to evidently is that produced on the con- 

 cession of the Sociele Anonyme " L'Ikelemba," a Brussels com- 

 pany, on the river Ikelemba, a tributary of the Congo, the 

 name of which river is variously spelled. The rubber is of the 

 Lopori class. A broker in New York reports : " Lopori used 

 to be known as the best white grade of the upper Congo, but 

 it has degenerated so that the name Lopori now covers a great 

 many different grades and qualities of strip and ball, so that 

 the importers, to have their customers understand which is 

 the cement quality, call it ' Ikelemba ball ' and ' Ikelemba 

 strip." The shrinkage on this grade of rubber is said to be less 

 than on any other coming from the upper Congo." 



The Ikelemba company's rubber is consigned to M. S. Cols, 

 at Antwerp, wrhere it is offered at the regular inscription sales 

 and thus finds its way into consumption.
