The British Rubber Craze. 



THE stage of excitement which the British public in 

 respect of rubber has reached is indicated by the long 

 list of companies, designed primarily to deal with rub- 

 ber planting, which has been compiled from recent announce- 

 ments of new registrations. What follows is not presented 

 as a complete list of British registrations of rubber planting 

 companies during the months of February and March of this 

 year, but only a record of those that have come to the notice 

 of this journal in respect of those months. The list gives an 

 idea of the wide distribution of the enterprises which have 

 appealed during this period to British investors in rubber. 

 The 113 new companies mentioned in this list have a com- 

 bined stated capitalization of £11,468,260 [=$56,536,612.42]. This 

 brings our list for the new year up to 131 companies, capital- 

 ized at a total of $64,824,261.92. It may be noted that these 

 are only British companies, and that new flotations are 

 reported constantly from Amsterdam, Berlin, and elsewhere 

 in contnental Europe, not to mention "rupee" companies in 

 Ceylon, and local organizations elsewhere in the East.
