Exports for Eight Months.

Total exports Of gutta-percha and india
rubber for, the eight months ended No
Tember 80 amounted to S2.s06909 as
against S1,s65.0s9 for the corresponding
period In 1917. During the period under
review United Kingdom exports fell from
s726.6s3 to s194.772; United States ex-
ports increased from s390.155 to s53c,624
and exports TO "other countries" which
arc principally the British Dominions
and South American republics inoreas ed
from s74s.301 to S2.o79,503.
Reviewing the progress of the rubber
industry In 1915, a Canadian manutac-
turer said the difficulties encountered in
were principally those OF lessened ef1-
cheney Of labor and OF shortage in the
supply OF long tough fibre cotton chiefly
imported from Egypt. and also supplies
OF sulphur and chemicals used in manu-
facture of rubber. The shutting of of
the Central Empires from their ordinary
supply gave Canada and the United
States access 10 great part OF the
worlds supply Of crude rubber.
The rubber industry, according TO the
manufa cturer. benefited by Government
business principally only in the way OF
orders for rubber shoes. Purchases for
military account were small in the case
OF automobile. motorcycle and bicycle
tires, rubber clothing, waterproof blank
cts, &c. 1t was found to be inpracti-
cable to import the raw material ia
Canada and TO transport the finished
product TO Europe. The bulk OF these
articles, therefore, was manufactured in
Great Britain.

BOOM INMAPLELEAF
RUBBER TRADE NEAR
Export Fields Entered During
War Promise Big Expan-
sion Soon.
TARIFF rs A PROBLEM
Business Increasing With Aus
tralia, South Africa and
South America.

Canadian manufacturers point to the
SUCCESS of the rubber industry there in
expansion to a high water mark despite
the adverse condition during four years
of war and assert that future growth
will be attended with lesser obstacles, the
development being commensurate at
least with the growth of the automobile
industry, according to dispatches re-
ceivcd yesterday from Toronto. Several
export fields have been entered that give
promise Of expansion, but further devel-
opment is declared to be a question that
will be affected by tariff and embargo
questions. Domestic products in Can
ada, however, are expected to supply an
increasing percentage OF the require
ments OF the Dominion.
Canada's export trade IN rubber prod
ucts has increased to a noteworthy ex-
tent during the last twelve months. par
ticularly IN the months Immediately
prior to the armistice. Business with
foreign customers which took most OF
the Canadian exports OF rubber products
prior to 1918 was relatively light, but
Australia, South Africa and the South
American republics much moro than
made UP the falling of in business with

OF the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Com
pany of Canada. was quoted in Toronto
as saying: THE principal reason that
export fields are available at this time
Is the shortage of goods Canada ha,
maintained It's domestic lines OF manu-
featuring perhaps to a higher extent
than any OF the belllgerents, and there
fore was in position TO avail herself OF
the opportunities In foreign fields Tn,
permanency of the export business vii
be determined largely by the treaties Of
peace. the tariffs enacted by the differen
countries and the embargoes put into
force. I would take II that a number o.
countries. including England. Australia
New Zealand and South Africa, will re
sort to embargoes that will handicap
greatly exports from Canada"
