/^TIUATEMALA, Colombia, Ecuador, and ^~^ Nicaragua furnished cinchona bark t o the United States during 1940 although the Netherlands Indies continued t o supply 9 6 per cent of t h e total 3,841,100 pounds imported in the first nine months of 1940. Until September, imports from the Netherlands Indies had been relatively small, but i n that month 2,395,000 pounds of bark were received from there. Ecuador has been furnishing small amounts for over 10 years, and during t h e first three quarters of 1940,19,400 pounds valued at $2100 came from that country. Colombia has furnished small amounts since 1931 but the 51,000 pounds received during the first nine months of 1940 were nearly double the entire amount received in all other years. Nicaragua in 1932 supplied very little, and in January, 1940, shipped 2200 pounds. I t was not until 1939, however, that Guatemala appeared in t h e trade with 2000 pounds. During 1940, small amounts were received each month from Guatemala until 68,800 pounds, valued a t $6300, were reported for t h e nine-month period. Peru shipped some cinchona bark in 1929, 1930, 1933, 1934, and 1935, but none since.
