INCREASING MALAYSIAN RUBBER YIELDS. 



In its issue for June 14 the Malaya Mail, of Kuala Lumpur, 

 prints a list of rubber plantations in the Malay peninsular with 

 reports of yield by months since the beginning of 1910. In the 

 case of some of them, but not all, the details are given for each 

 month, January to May inclusive. The product of 81 estates is 

 taken into account for the month of May, and we have fuller 

 accounts for 53 estates. The rate of production is shown by the 

 figures which follow to be progressive : 



Pounds. 



Total of 53 estates for January 573,598- 



Total of 53 estates for February 540,777 



Total of 53 estates for November 651,955 



Total of 53 estates for April 624,810 



Total of 53 estates for May 657,054 



Total of 53 estates for 5 months 3,048,194 



The United States consul general in London has sent an of- 

 ficial report to Washington, outlining the plans of the coming 

 rubber exhibition. A special feature of his report is a statement 

 that the management will be pleased to have an exhibit of crude 

 rubber produced in the Philippines or any other dependencies 

 of the United States. 



A new article of manufacture for the purposes of a roller, 

 bumper, or the like, consists of a fibrous rope core, provided with 

 a covering of vulcanized material compressed radially thereon. 

 The patentee is Harry F. Pendleton, of Brooklyn, New York, 

 assignor to The American Wringer Co. 



Review of the Crude Rubber Market. 



Tl 1 1 month has been one of constant fluctuation, prices rising 

 at times and falling later, the close being a sharp de- 

 _ cline from the quotations at the first of July. There are no 

 changed conditions to report in relation to the production of 

 rubber. Such material changes in the selling market have re- 

 lation to the present and prospective rates of consumption, of 

 which no analysis will be attempted here.
