London, To-day. Following yesterday's sharp advance in rubber, well-informed quarters are keenly speculating whether it signifies the end of the "hold off" strike on the part of United States consumers. It is pointed out that disclo- sure of the British Government's rearmament plans may be caus- ing the latter to realise that it is hoping for a little too much to expect any major recession of prices during the next three months, at the end of which American consumers would be forced to replenish their stocks.
Moreover, some quarters are of. the opinion that increasing specu- Hlative interest on both sides of the Atlantic reflects a realisation that the holding-off tactics of American
Antamoks consumers can only result in their Atoks making a rod for their own back. Baguio Geld
In this connexion it is interesting Balatoc Mining to contrast the attitude of Italian Benguet Explor Benguet Consol consumers, who have latterly efBig Wedge fected extremely heavy forward Coco Grove purchases in London-Reuter.
