AUSTRALIA'S TRADE.
SERIOUSLY AFFECTED BY COAL STRIKE. THE RUBBER FEVER. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Received April 21. 0.10 a.m. Melbourne. Last Night. Mr. Sinclair, a Victorian commercial agent in the East, who has arrived here, states that the Newcastle strike has had a very undesirable effect on Australian trade in the East. Many Eastern coal importers have transferred their business to other countries. It will be a long time, he thinks, before the prejudicial effects of the strike are removed. Nevertheless, there is a growing improvement in tlie general trade with Australia.
The rubber boom is causing the planting of rubber to be pushed ahead, and there is feverish activity in the Malay states, Java, Borneo, and elsewhere in the tropics, Many millions of pounds of foreign money are invested.
