THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



[February i, 1910. 



Rubber Plantation Yields 



SPAC1 cannot be afforded for all the statistics of production 

 of the rubber producing plantations in the Far East, the 

 returns from which arc tabled to the outside world, in 

 detail comparable with that noticeable in reporting railway earn- 

 ings, for example, in the United States. It may be of interest, 

 however, now and then, to glance at returns taken at random 

 from the latest despatches, as lias been done in the table which 

 follows. The point to be made is that a steady increase in pro- 

 duction is shown, and that at a rate which insures the permanent 

 importance of Ceylon and the Federated Malay States in the 

 production of rubber. The figures indicate weights in pounds.

FAR EASTERN PLANTATION NOTES. 



The directors of The Rubber Estates of Johore, Limited, an- 

 nounce the sale of 1,488 acres of their rubber plantation in the 

 Malay peninsula, and 3.444 acres of adjoining forest, for £62,500 

 cash, to parties who intend increasing the planted area largely. 



The directors of Sumatra-Deli Rubber Estates, Limited, for 

 the year ended June 30, iqog, report a debit of profit and loss for 

 two years of £16,541. The fact that about 28,000 pounds of 

 rubber trade were obtained during the first eleven months of 

 1009, however, lend encouragement to the company, and through 

 borrowing £6,000 at 5 per cent, the financial difficulties are be- 

 lieved to have tided over. The estates are largely planted up 

 with "Rambong" {Finis elastica), at distances now believed to 

 be much too close, and it is proposed to thin out the trees. 



The United Serding ( Sumatra ) Rubber Plantations, Limited, 

 attribute a lower production for the year ended August 31, 1909, 

 than was anticipated to the exceptionally dry weather which pre- 

 vailed from March to August. The revenue from coffee and 

 rubber, however, permitted the declaration of a 5 per cent, 

 dividend. 



An interesting "Manual of British North Borneo Companies" 

 is compiled by Zorn and Leigh-Hunt, of London. The develop- 

 ment of British North Borneo of late has been most marked, but 

 in no respect more notably than in relation to rubber. Land has 

 been granted already to ten subsidiary companies by the British 

 North Borneo Co., and details are given in regard to these in ad- 

 dition to general information on the history and progress of 

 Borneo. 



The Stock Exchange Year Bonk, a long established directory 

 of British financial concerns, for tqio, devotes no less than 28 

 pages to statistical information on rubber plantation companies, 

 which the publishers refer to as "a fact which will show the up- 

 to-date character and the absolute completeness of the book." 

 The volume contains 2,408 pages and is sold at 31.?. 6d.

TAPPING ON PLANTATION "RUBI0." 



The subscribers of The Tehuantepec Rubber Culture Co. 

 (New York), received a circular letter some weeks ago with- 

 reference to a change in the method of inspection of plantation
