Papuan Rubber.

[To the Editor ] Sir, —Might I correct a quite forgive able error in your September journal (page 8) touching the price of Papuan rubber. The basis of your calculation was “Para” rubber at 5¼d., quite a dif ferent thing from the plantation variety produced in Papua, The East, and else where, which was, at the date men tioned —viz., September 9 —only 2 7/8d., and has actually been below 1 7/8d. —all the difference in the world as far as Papua is concerned.

I am, etc.,

Eraser.
