A.s regards a market for the caoutchouc there need be no 

 anxiety. India-rubber is one of those articles that modern 

 civilization cannot do without. The quantity received from 

 America is decreasing, and the supply is not able to meet the 

 demand. India is the only country in which trees yielding 

 caoutchouc are being cultivated and increased.
