BRAZILIAN NOTES 



The rubber firm of Alfredo Valle & Ca., Para, that failed for 

 1.000:000$, operated with a fictitious capital of 50:000$, it is said. 

 Surprise is expressed that such institutions as the Bank of Brazil, 

 Mercantile Bank and Banco Ultramarino should have been suc- 

 cessfully duped. It is reported that the firm in question gambled 

 in exchange to the extent of 800:000$ and shipped large quantities 

 nf rubber by fraudulent means. 



Reports from the rubber districts of Brazil claim that that 

 industry is in danger of extinction owing to foreign manipula- 

 tion. The Brazilian Congress has recently passed a law authoriz- 

 ing an issue of $8,000,000 in paper currency to be lent to the States 

 in order that production may be increased. The currency has de- 

 preciated, in terms of American money, over 70 per cent. Labor 

 troubles have been numerous. 



Industria Brazileira de Borracha "Berrogain," Limitada, Rua 

 Lima Barros, 71, Santo Christovao, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is the 

 successor to Raul Berrogain, rubber manufacturer. Mr. Ber- 

 rogain will continue as technical director of the new firm.

The Diario Oficial of Uruguay for August 19, 1920, oontaini 

 notice of an application on August 12 by Juan and Jose Drysdale 

 & Co., of Buenos .^ires, for the registration of the trade mark 

 "Sterling" for a large list of articles, including raw india rubber 

 and rubber and the like in sheets, threads, pipes and tubes, and 

 tents and awnings of waterproofed cloth. In Uruguay ownenhip 

 of a trade mark is based on priority of registration. However, 

 the owner may challenge its registration by a third party, but to 

 secure annulment, evidence of prior use in Uruguay must b« 

 presented and this action taken within two years from the date 

 of the filing of the trade mark. The right of action in such 

 cases is expressly granted to owners of foreign trade marks.
