London A better tone, was in evidence in this market before the Whitsuntide holidays and this be came more pronounced in the days immediately succeeding.. The amount of stock which can be drawn upon for shipment from the East is becoming restricted;" making first-hand sellers, reserved in their offeringa and less anxious to dispose of rubber except at ad- vancing prices, Ocean shipments from Singapore, Penang, Malacca and Port Swettenham for May at 42,214 tons were not much out of line with the forecast given in attr last issue of 43,000 tons, though in the meantime this had been amended to 41,000 tons: As Mala yan produced rubber out of this figure is estimated at 26,500 tons, it is believed that a further deple- tion of the free stocks in Singa pore and Penang will have been brought about, which is in line with our previous remarks,

HANDICRAFT TO BE COMBED OUT. IN GERMANY BERLIN, June 10 (T/Ocean) The process of "combing out the small handicraft industry" "in Germany which was inaugurated POMO time ago. has now been given a definita foundation through orders issued by the Reich Ministry of Economy for training and ex- amining of handicraftsmen.
The object in the campaign is to eliminate the so-called “one man shops" in which the workers earned a meagre living and to Improve the larger handicraft establishment and to provide skilled workers for industries,
In the decision whether handi- craft shops are to continue to operate, the national demand is to be taken into consideration particularly that of the rural com-
