cellet inda-rubber have been sent from the Gilman
Gega department Of Nicaragua TO Newly 0rk, and az
the article has been scarce and high 10 the markets OF
the world the new and unexpected production of Cen
tIal American rubber has excited considerable interest
and some speculation the part Of rubber men. To
take advantage of this feeling grant has been taken
by tain parties from the Government OF Nicaragua
for the exclusive privilege Of taking all the ndiarubber
from the wild lands Of the State for certain term of
years, upon payment of q sum said to be So 900 per

coast On the banks Of tho rivers and the esuanes Of
