Mc.

It appears that comprehensive as to command the support of most Zeigner and his colleagues resigned to avoid arrest by the Reichswehr. The plea of Stresemann's organ people in the country, comprising, firstly, peace at Die Zeit that Saxony, by incorporating Compinumists home and abroad; secondly that our national in the Government, violated her constitutional Savings should be adequate to-furnish capital for the duties as a Federal State, has not satisfied the renewal and extension of the machinery of produc- Socialists who contend that Stresemann's action in tion; thirdly, that employers and workers should Saxony is designed to appease Bavaria of whom the not be unfairly exposed to merciless attack by foreign competitors shielded by high tariffs; fourth- Reich is afraid.

Lord Salis bury said that while he favoured an anti-dumping policy, he had an open mind on the subject of pro- testing as a permanent policy connected partly with manufactured articles and food. He deprecated an carly dissolution in view of the acute foreign crisis. BY ELECTION RESULTS.

RUBBER MARKET,

AMERICAN IMPORTS RESTRICTED."

LONDON, October 31. Rubber stocks in London have risen to 58.423 tons, owing to the fact that America at present is taking very litle rubber purchases in view of very heavy imports, totalling in all 180,000 tons in the first six months of the year. Well-informed. people estimate the world's production of rubber for the current year at 369,000 tons and the deeds of the world, except America, at 120,000 tons, so in order to establish equilibrium on this basis the total American consumption för 1923 must be 240,000 tons.

It is officially announced that the percentage of the standard production of rubber exportable on a minimum duty from Ceylon, the Straits Settlements, and the Federated Malay States for the quarter beginning November 1. remains 60.
