worlds rubber supply has come en-
tirely from the rubber Plantations OF
the Orient, while the forest product
has declined meantime. The quantity
exported from the Oriental countries,
in which rubber is produced excIu-
sively on plantations and not as a
forest product, was in 1912 but 2s,51S
tons, and in 1915, 10000 tons, while
the forest products entering internal
tional trade were: from Brazil in 1912,
42,410 tons, and in 1916, 35, 900 toms !;
other countries supplying rubber from
forests $4,000 tons in 1912 and 1900
tons in 1916. The exports of planta-
with 1915 thus increased over 400
per cent, while those of rubber pro-
duced from forests decreased 80 per
cent. OF our own importations in 1919
only about 10000, 600 pounds originated
in the Orient, while in 1915 about

those at which the rubber was export

therefore not including the cost of

Our Increasing Share in Consumption
of World Rubber Supply.

The United States is now consrm-
ing nearly two-thirds of the worlds
India rubber. A compilation by the
National City bank of New York of
the worlds rubber production and the
share consumed by the United States
shows that the exports OF rubber from
the various producing areas of the
world IN 1916 were approximately
443. 000,0 900 pounds, while the United
States in that year imported 27O 000,-
900 pounds, or 81 per cent of the total
quantity entering international trade.
This indicates a rapid growth in
the share which the United States is
taking of the worlds rubber despite
the fact that the output has increased
with phenomenal rapidly in recent
years. In 1913, the year before the
war. our imports of rubber were ap-
proximately SO per cent of the worlds
marketed supply, the exports of rub
Der producing countries in that year,
having been 242, ZOO, 900 pounds, and
our own imports 1d6, 100000 pounds.
World exports of rubber increased in
quantity just 100 per cent. in the four
years from 1919 to 1916, while the
imports of the United States in
creased 129 per cent In the same per-
iod.
