Brazil Losing Rubber Trade.

One of the most striking economic
changes in recent years has been the
loss by Brazil Of its dominant position
In the rubber trade. Whereas, few
years back, the world looked to South
America for most Of its crude rubber,
1t is now getting the larger share from
the far East. The Brazilian product Is
obtained from trees that grow wild,
apd little has been done toward culti-
walton Of the trees. Id Sumatra, Cey.
Ion. Burma, and other countries mill
lions of trees have been set out and
are now coming into bearing. The do
nestle product is said to be slightly su-
perior to that obtained from Brazil,
aud the trees improve with age. The
financial loss to Brazil through its de-
creasing exports has become serious
matter.-New York Times. /:
