Chelsea had luck in their return match at home with Grimsby, the lenders in Division II., and gained full points. Bradford showed good form at home by turning the tables on Blackpool. Southampton added another victory and went a step higher.
There were many changes in the Division III. (Southern) League tuble where Fulhamn gained second place and Chariton dropped in sixth position. Fulham's rise, however, is on goal average, as the Palace are better placed on actual matches played. Northern Section leaders, were delented by Wigan.
Stockport,
A few matches in the Scottish League were also in the pro gramme. The Rangers got through this time by one goal. The mesting between Celtic and Partick had to be played on the latter's ground owing to the destruction by fire of Celtic's pavilion and dressing rooms. Celtic won by scoring the only goal of the match. Results of Easter Monday matches and League tables corrected to date are appended.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE REVIEW OF SITUATION.
MILDLY OPTIMISTIC AS TO RUBBER POSITION.
U.S.A. AS MALAYA'S BAROMETER,
Singapore, March.27-A comprehensive review of the trade of Singapore during 1999 was given by the Hon. Mr. J. Bagnall, as chairman of the Singapore Chamber of Commerce, at the an nual meeting. He pointed out that it had been a very dull year," although the worst fears with regard to the rubber industry fail- ed to be realized, Declaring that America was the barometer of Malaya, the speaker expressed the opinion that present condi- tions in the United States indicated fair prospects for rubber and tin, though he doubted whether there were economic reasons for a higher price for rubber.
