Quinine Factories.

Java produces about twO-thirds of
the worlds supply OF cinchOna, and it
has for years been regularly shipped
to Holland. The large quinine manu-
factories, mostly situated in Germany,
supply themselves with the raw mate
rial in the Dutch market, and of late
years the manufacturers have COM
bined to keep the prices at such low
level as to render the cinchona culti-
walton Improbable, although the man
ufacturers Of quinine have been earn
ing large dividends.
To meet this combination it was re-
solved to establish a quinine factory
in Java, says the British consul at
Batavia, and this has been done at
Blandong, where the first Java quinine
has been produced. This is described
as of excellent quality and equal in
all respects to the best European
brands Last year the total produc-
ton Of cinchona in the island was g.
100000 pounds avoirdupo1s.
