LACE and EMBROIDERIES & speciality following remarks They are simply the result I claims so special 1 onwledge in making the of a study of the conditions of the market and the laws of probability. The ose dominant factor, is the rubber share market is the probable output of Para subbas from Bras, which, for brevity, I will hereaftar dub the Brazilan bogey,, 1 bink no cant man who has studied the Brazilian bogey ima gines for one moment that the output will be such as to slump raw rubber prices, in the absence of market manipulation, and Te have no hesitation in stating that when the output is known (not rumoured, mind you), prices of raw rubber will harden considerably above the present level. This being so, it is difficult to account for any nervousness in the, rubber share market, apart from the probable fact that the market - manipulator has been abroad..
