SHEFFIELD, October 2nd. The export scheme for steel manu. factures announced in the Journal| of the Sheffield Chamber of Com- merce is apparently a national move fostered by the Iron and Steel Fede: ration of London.
The greatest reticence concerning it is being cheerved by Sheffield
steelmakers, but the object, it was

TOYS FOR SOUTH AFRICAN
MARKET.
From the manifests on board Japanese steamers passing through Hong Kong on their way to South Africa it may be seen that toys form a regular feature of the cargo carried.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24th. Through authoritative sources the United Press to-day learned that British negotiations, designed to provide for rubber production res triction which would dietate world

in South Africa. At present prices, have collapsed after a series British and" German toys are dominating the market, each sup- plying about 40 per cent. of the total importation. Of the balance, Japanese toys outrank those sup. plied by the United States to this
market.
The boys mostly in demand consist of automobiles, airplanes, waggons, fire-engines, locomotives and dolls. In regard to the letter, Japanese dolls are said to be very popular with girle in South Africa,
The South African toy market is limited practically to the white. population, there being some,400,000 white children in the Union. Dis tribution costs are very high, hence the price of a toy in South Africa is usually twice, and very often three times, the price paid in the original market. There should be un opening in South Africa for Chinese toys and cheap novelties such as appeal to children,

The collapse was due to inability to apportion the restriction between British and Dutch rubber Hгo- ducers.
Because of this collapse, United States rubber interests and motor- ists. will save millions of dollars which would otherwise have been charged, against them on a basis of

The proposed combine would have meant the fixing of rates for at least two years, until the Ford project. in Brazil and Firestone interests in Liberia could have started produc tion.
