104 THE RUBBER INDUSTRY 



The shipments of rubber from Manaos and Para 

 during the season July i, 1912, to June 30, 1913, 

 amounted to 41,862 tons. To this must be added the 

 stock of 1,500 tons, making the total output for the 

 season 43,362 tons. All the indications for the twelve 

 months July i, 1913, to June 30, 1914, are to the effect 

 that the output will equal if not exceed that of last 

 year. Therefore the probable total for this season may 

 be taken as not less than 43,000 tons. 



In spite of an equal quantity in 1913-14 as com- 

 pared to last year, the total value will be quite 25 per 

 cent, less than in 1912-13, in accordance with the lower 

 prices ruling during the present season in Europe and 

 the United States.
