Camphor, a useful but not very extensively wed commodity, is likely to rise in price in the future. It is virtually a Japanese monopoly, since Formosa, its chief source, ig a Japanese possession. Advice has been received by a local importing firm that a great Japanese Camphor Trust haa now been formed, with a capital of o-ver £1,000,000, and as practically all the camphor of commerce will pass through its hands it will be able to dominate camphor concerns which it does not already embrace. The demand for camphor in the manufacture of celluloid goods is very great in Japan; nevertheless, the production has rapidly declined from 2.500.000 units to 700,000 only for 1918, and the demand has grown.—Weilagtoa Dominion.
