Producers Must Not Get Panicky
It is doubtful whether Ameri- en has so far secured even une tenth of spring trade re- quirements. The outlook is, therefore, brighter, since large buying has still to be done. If the producers are not panicky all the rubber coming should be wanted during the first half of 1930, though there may be a temporary surplus.
