Balata from Venezuela. 



The India Rubber World's correspondent at Ciudad Bol- 

 ivar furnishes the following details of the shipments of Balata 

 from that port — covering the output from Venezuela— during 

 1903 by months, and for the preceding years since 1896, the 

 date of the first statistics relating to this trade. The figures 

 indicate weights in kilograms : 



ITotal, 1903, in Pounds: 2,408,072." 



During the first two months of the present year the ship- 

 ments have been light. On account of the weather in Novem- 

 ber and December being very dry, the Balata gatherers did not 

 get to work until about the end of January. The Ciudad Boli- 

 var custom house still being closed, exports are made by the 

 way of Laguaira and Carupana, though it is hoped that direct 

 shipments may be possible before long. 



Exports of fine Rubber during 1903 amounted to about 60,- 

 000 pounds, and of coarse, about 33,000 pounds.
