While some sections of the market discussed for some time a cut of between 30 and 40 per cent., the de- cision came as a surprise to the majority of tin dealers, and such a reduction in the quota had not been discounted in trading.

Market circles agree that under the new quota production approximates to current consumption but leaves no margin for possible contingencies.

At the same time it is not overlooked that the United Kingdom stock posi- tion is now comfortable as evidenced by the readiness of the authorities to grant export licences more freely.

Some are of the opinion that the Committee's decision may have been influenced by possible representations from Netherland interests for a higher price in view of the 14 per cent. de- cline in the value of sterling since the war.

It is opined that any such claim would undoubtedly be supported by the British in view of the importance of tin as a source of foreign ex- change. Reuter.

Coal for Italy and engineering and chemical products for the Far East Latin America and the Iberian Pen- insula are among the items affected in this connexion.

Reduction of German exports also considered likely to curtail im- ports of lend, nickel, tin and copper valued at over five million reichs- marks per month well as imports of petroleum and rubber.

The view is taken that this situa- tion will force some important bran- ches of the armament Industry to reduce both the quality and quantity of their output.--British Wireless.
