SOURCES OF RUBBER SUPPLY.
New Fields Must Soon De opened TO
Meet the Rapidly Increns-
ing Demand.

The total amount of rubber that was
brought to the markets in the year end
ing June 30 last was 46,75O tons Of
this amount Brazil produced 24,750
tons, or a little more than half the
entire supply. Africa's share was 49,
500 tons, leaving only 1900 tons to be
supplied by the rest Of the world. In
dia furnished 495 tons and the balance
of the supply, 1,7O5 tons, from Cen
tral America and parts Of South Amer
lea outside of Brazil.
When the export Of rubber from Bra
zil began about so years ago, the guam
tity shipped in a year was only 495
tons. The British minister in Brazil
estimates that the area Of rubber pro-
ducing territory in Brazil that is still
untouched amounts to 961,00O square
miles, or nearly a third of the area Of
the United States, exclusive Of Alaska
The great difficulty in developing these
rubber regions is the scarcity Of pop
ulation and the consequent necessity
Of carrying food supplies everywhere
In all the vast rubber regions Of Bra
I'll il is estimated that there are only
10000 inhabitants. The rubber dis
tricts that thus far have furnished the
supply are becoming exhausted and the
total production last year was less than
in the preceding year.
In Africa there was until recently
only one region which had been very
conspicuous as a rubber producer. This
was the Portuguese colony OF Angola,
which in 1889 sent TO the market 1.72s
tons. while the Gold Coast and Lagos
together furnished only 912 tons. In
that year the Congo basin appeared in
the market as a source of supply. Its
progress since then has been rapid. and
in 1897 1900 tons were exported from
the upper Congo, though the rubber
had TO be carried a long distance on
the heads of porters. The present
prospects are that the Congo viii some
day be Brazil's nearest rival in the pro
duction OF rubber.-N. Y. Sun.
