Teak Prices.— The rise in the price of Teak 
timber is thus discussed by an Indian paper. — 
" Tlie large rise which has taken place in the price 
of teak-wood is attributed to a number of causes, 
of which, curiously enough, the experiments con- 
ducted with the "Belleisle" is one. The last 
Report of the Burma Forest Department, in dis- 
cussing the state of the market for this timber in 
London and on the Continent of Europe, states : 
" Planks have been in even greater request than 
before, owing to new sources of demand for car- 
pentry and decorative and electrical purposes. 
The satisfactory results reached with H M S 
"Belleisle" as to the degree of inflammability 
of teak have tended to increase the demand for 
this wood by the British Admiralty." So great 
was the efTect of these various causes that the 
price of teak rose in the London market, in twelve 
months, from £10 to £17 per load, and the Con- 
servator of Forests, Pegu Circle, writes : — " Every 
indication points to a continued increase in demand 
and to steady maintenance, or even enhancement, 
of present prices."
