At the Penang Chamber of Commerce annual meeting, Mr. Macbain, presiding, said the year might be considered good. although the volume of business fall off somewhat towards the close. Prices of produce generally kept at a high level throughout the year. With tin in the neighbourhood of 880, copra $11, and black pepper $20, producers theroof must have done uncommonly well. The enhanced price of tin-in the natural course of events might have been expected to bring out incroaeed supplies, but that had not proved to be the case. The monthly official reports pointed to a reduced production and despite the attrac tive price the year's shipments were prac tically identical with those in 1910. With more modern methods of mining and fresh fields to exploit in the northern states it was confidently to be hoped the falling off in production would be arrested.
