THE FUTURE RUBBER POSITION. 



D UBBER manufacturers may not attach much importance to 

 ^ *• estimates of the rubber position during the next four 

 years, but forecasts, when made by those who are able to predict 

 with some knowledge of the conditions, are always interesting. 

 In this connection some statistics compiled by a well-known 

 British market autliority, with regard to the production and 

 consumption of rubber in the years 1917 to 1920, are given in 

 articles in the London "Stock Exchange Gazette." The authority 

 calls attention to the wonderful expansion in the production of 

 rubber in the last six years. During this period, he points out, 

 the output of Brazil declined to the extent of a few thousand 

 tons, but still amounts to nearly 40,000 tons a year, while the 

 inferior grades of the commodity formerly contributed by Africa 

 have declined from 24,000 tons to about half that figure. Mean- 

 while, of course, a remarkable expansion has taken place in the 

 plantation output. In 1905 this amounted to a total of only 145 

 tons; for the year just ended the total was something between 

 140,000 and 150,000 tons — say, one thousand times the crop of 

 eleven years ago. In fact very nearly three-fourth of the world's 

 crop is now derived from plantation sources. It was feared, he 

 says, that over-production must result from the great planting 

 boom of 1910 and 1911, during which period some 360,000 acres 

 of land were placed under cultivation. Although these areas are 

 now reaching maturity, so far there has not been the slightest 

 sign of over-production ; indeed, it is doubtful if the world's 

 crop expected after 1919 will be sufficient to keep pace with 

 the wonderful demand. 



Summarizing the results of his investigations, the authority re- 

 ferred to puts forward the following estimates of the world's 

 probable production and consumption of rubber in the next four 

 years. In these estimates no allowance was made for the German 

 and Austrian post-bellum demand of about 20,000 tons a year. 

 Estimated total production in 1917, 235,000 tons ; in 1918, 265,000 

 tons; in 1919, 295,000 tons; in 1920. 314,000 tons. Estimated 

 consumption, 1917, 230,000 tons; in 1918, 260,000 tons; in 1919, 

 290,000 tons; in 1920, 312,000 tons. Quite apart from future re- 

 quirements of the central European powers, it would appear that 

 during the whole period supply and demand are expected to 

 remain very nearly balanced. On peace being declared it seems 

 not unlikely, therefore, that a shortage in supplies will be created. 

 It remains to be seen whether even the immense areas now 

 under cultivation in the middle east will produce sufficient rubber 

 fully to satisfy the world's increasing demands up to 1920.
