oils and fats since tlie publications ol former editions of this 

 well-known work. He calls attention to the world's shortage of 

 animal fats, and writes in his preface that the discoveries made 

 along these lines arc naturally regarded as valuable secrets, and 

 arc, therefore, unfortunately not published. "Statistics of pro- 

 duction, imports, and exports under the heading of individual 

 oils and fats arc presented in as complete a fashion as possilile, 

 but it should be borne in mind that since 1914 the position has 

 been abnormal and the figures given cannot, therefore, be ac- 

 cepted as indicative of what tlie outlook will be in the near fu- 

 ture." 



The two remaining volumes of "Chemical Technologj- and .\n- 

 alysis of Oils. Fats and Waxes" will be published during the year

 United States, but also in England, India, China, and Japan, are 

 clearly indicated. An attached leaflet states that on account of 

 the broadened scope of the publication, the name will be changed,

INTERESTING LETTERS FROM OUR READERS 



FROM A EUROPEAN BUSINESS MAN 



To THE Editor : 



r\E.\R Sir : You will perhaps remember that I had the pleasure 

 •^-^ of calling on you several months ago when you were good 

 enough to be of considerable assistance to me. 



What I want to point out at this tirne is, that although Amer- 

 ican rubber manufacturers are understood to be anxious to de- 

 velop foreign markets, we still find ourselves in a position of in- 

 quiry, and they seem to have little interest in offering their goods 

 to ready buyers. 



Although the writer makes a yearly trip to America, and is 

 contemplating further trips in the near future, he is amazed at 

 the difficulty of finding the most suitable makers for any given 

 line, and it always seems that in spite of considerable activity on 

 your side, more remains to be done on return than during a buying 

 visit.
