RUBBER OUTLOOK

Producers Must Not Get Panicky

It is doubtful whether Ameri- en has so far secured even une tenth of spring trade re- quirements. The outlook is, therefore, brighter, since large buying has still to be done. If the producers are not panicky all the rubber coming should be wanted during the first half of 1930, though there may be a temporary surplus.

Trading has been hampered by parities in the primary maY- kets and New York, causing more rubber to be shipped to,

of

Robert Harvey, a tutor. Amerland-road, Wandsworth, said that the boy was staying with him to learn English. He collaps. ed while at supper,

fell off a chair, and died. His father had stated that when nine months old the boy fell from a chair and was unconscious almost all day.

Sir Bernard Spilsbury said that the cause of death was coma from meningeal haemorrhage due to a ruptured aneurism.

The Coroner (Mr. Ingleby Oddie): Having heard the history of the case, do you think the fall in infancy might have caused the aneurism to develop ?--Yes, I think it did.

Mr. Oddie recorded a verdict of accidental death due to the fall in infancy.
