TEA AND RUBBER OUTLOOK.
Harrisons and Crossfield Chairman's Speech.
London, October 18.
At the Harrisons and Crossfield meeting, Mr. Heath Clark. presiding, said that the outlook was brighter, but he did not think progress would go very (far?) until the exchanges had been some- what stabilised and the reparations question practically settled.
As regards the tea outlook tooded stocks in the United King- dom had fallen from 197,000,000 to 145,600,00 lbs. during the year ended August, and, provided that coarse plucking was not resumed. the industry should experience a period of prosperity.
Mr. Heath Clark estimated the consumption of rubber at 340,- 000 tons for the current year and 360,000 tons for next year. He hoped that elasticity would be given to the Colonial Office Com mittee scheme so as to prevent artificially high prices of rubber.
