Official circles confirm that a decision on freeing For Private

the rubber market will probably be taken within the next two or three weeks.

It seems impossible to believe that the market can actually be freed before the end of the year when the agreement with the United States terminates, because if the British market were freed, the United States might demand an earlier termination of the Anglo-United States rubber agreement with the consequent con- fusion on the take up of the fourth quarter al- locations and prices to be paid for the quotas already taken up.

On the other hand, traders G.M. And Ford

The economic picture in China S.S. "PERIOD“ today is darker than the military. Mounting prices have.nullified the exchange rate of 3,350 Chi- nese dollars to one American dol- lar. The rate was fixed Aug. 19.

There have been several in- stances where price increases have more than offset the devaluation of Chinese currency.

On the other hand, the point has been raised here that if Britain does have a free rub- ber market before the end of the year, the United Status political parties are not likely to want a partial plank of the November elections to be the restriction of industrial sup plies due to the low ceings for natural rubber imports.

General Optimism Traders generally point that it is Impossible to forecast the rubber price trend when the market is freed to "within" three-pence.

Some say that an "intelligent guess," in view of the conges- Lion of the present British stocks, is that the price will tend to decline. On the other hand, others definitely do not

Optimism for a long term outlook is generally expressed in view of the enormous poten- tial world rubber consumption when the European, British and United States factories over tually are able fully to vemploy their resources.-Reuter.
