Evening Bulletin 1912
Special Edition, which will be
ready for distribution on Feb

The edition is to be called

in addition to that, much space

and intent of the publication is
TO show the American side OF
island life, and to present
facts to members of Congress
and mainland newspapers that
point the error Of adverse eg-

Day Passed When Agencies
So Seriously Shape
Money Market.
WEEKS BUSINESS REVIEW
SHOWS 1912 PROMISING


bank and trust company statements
appearing the first of the year have
not ceased To be q subject for general
comment iu business circles.
As ,ue details are discussed 1t is
learned that the most gratifying fac
tor Of the banking conditions today Is
the increase in the number Of deposit
ura The old days when the sugar
plantation agencies controlled the sit
uati.r have passed, and this is all to
the advantage Of the small investor.
For instance, u few years ago the
banks were run OF money when the
returns from the sugar crop were
coming in and the plantation agencies
were making large deposits Then as
the year advanced to January Fchru-
AIRY and March, the banks had to pro-
vide for the oyCrdralts Of the agencies,
and money for the small investor was
not only very hard 90 get but some
times his loans we're called.
That period seems to have passed
for the reason that the banks are now
carrying so many good sized ac-
counts that the news Of the planta-
tiuns are not such striking mark on
the financial card. II is also true that
the plantations are nearly all in such
excellent financial condition that less
necessity exists for calling on the
banks to carry them through the early
part OF the grinding season.
All throughout the financial situa-
tion there is an atmosphere Of stabil-
ity and permanently that is most re-
assuring for the future OF the city and
Territory II means that general bus
mess has reached level that cannot
be easily disturbed by the ordinary
ups and downs OF financial fUrrics.
This is the first year in many that
the first OF the new year finds no
though or suggestion of a tight
money" period during the. grinding
season.
Naturally this very comfortable con-
dition is reflected in every line of
business activity and particularly in
the sugar stock market.

on rubber right up to date may be of
interest.
The annual production of rubber,
the world over, now amounts to
1903, 900 tons OF this total the Ameri-
can continent furnishes 1870, Asia
2),lS0 and Africa 1880. The output
of Brazil, Peru and Venezuela totals
$4,000 tons, by far the most from any
group of countries in given locality.
Malaysia, the Straits Settlements, etc,
furnish 10000. Next comes Mexico,
with 1880 and then Congo and An
COLA, with 10000. There is big gap
to the 6125 produced by French IndU-
China and the 1926 in Ceylon, and yet
a greater gap to the 1000 tons each
British, French and Dutch Guiana
and British Uganda. Then follow
British Nigeria, with 700; German
Togoland and Siam, with 500 each;
German East Africa, India and
J Burma, with $50 each; British East
Africa, 200; Costa Rica and Sierra
! Leone, 100 each; Islands of Bornco,
Papua, etc, so; Liberia, 40; West In
dies and Honduras and British Nyas-
saland, 90, and British Gambia, 10.
The rubber regions of the map,
! however, are likely to be changed
! greatly within the next few years,
| partly because of recent paintings
and partly because of the discovery
OF rubber-producing qualities in Il
shrub in old Mexico. This latter in
dustry has been largely Americanized.
Great areas in Asia and Africa also
are being brought under cultivation
! for the rubber tree. The new plant
ings are estimated by the India Rub
Der Trade Diary at 776.000; by the
India Rubber journal at $4,000, and
by the Gummi-Zeitung of Berlin at
100000 acres. Sir John Anderson
president of the International Rubber
Exhibition held recently in London
adopted the compromise figures OF
10000. One hundred and eighty
thousand tons of rubber are yearly
imported into the five principal manu-
featuring countries Of the world
This figure includes transshipments
from cne country to another, and also
reshipments OF old scrap rubber
which is utilized in new forms.
