Taking the round figure of 30 by the former by 14 points to 3. cents, and the figures of unrestricted export our contemporary says:

FUTURE OF RUBBER.

Wintry conditions were experienced generally but it was found possible to carry out the complete list of games in the First and Second Divisions of the Secttish League, a tribute alike to the hardihood of the players and to the care and enterprise that have been devoted Sensational to modern playing felds. than

results are frequently the sequel under auch conditions, but none was forthcom ating, as the defeat of Rangers in these days has, ceased to be a wonder. Fal- kirk's victory over the champions, how- ever, had a bit of luck in it. The failure idea that the course of affairs in the First of the champions went far to dispel the Division was shaping towards, a duel Rangers, as even the most optimistic of between the monopolist pair, "Celtic and Ibros adherents will harbour little hope that the champions can bridge the gulf of their Parkhead rivals. In other respecta seven points now separating them from the indications of impending changes were Motherwell were again beaten. At Perth strengthened, as both St Mirren and

Celtic won their engagement against St. Johnstone with comparative ease, after a characteristic display of all-round excel fence. It was Celtie's fourth consecutive victory, three of which were won on op ponents grounds, and their transference from their present position of relative leaders to the actual and definite assump tion of the position seems imminent. Raith Rovers were beaten at home by Aberdeen mainly through excellent de- fence. The Kirkcaldy club's position has become insecure through four successive reverses. Morton, on the other hand, progressed to safety by defeating Dundee at Greenock. The losers were a weak side, especially in attack. Dundee United

Future prospects of the Rubher-Indus try formed an important section of a paper" read before The Incorporated Society of Planters at Kuala Lumpur Just June. As the paper has been largely quoted in the English and Américan Press, it has no doubt had some effect upon the Rubber Share Market, but that is not a matter with which producers aro directly concerred. The author of the paper assumed that the average annual increase of consumption for the period 1023-1939, would be as great as in the four years 1091-24, viz. '89,502 tons and estimated the maximum annual capacity of the present planted area and other sources of supply at 700,000 tons. Taking consumption in 1995 at the very cautions figure of 186,502 tous (the latest estinintas ua as high as 340,000 tons), he calcul ated that actual shortage: wonki be ex perienced between the years 1998 and 1929.

he 54.000 tons above the estimate, short-il very well in dividing the points with age may come sooner. One criticism of the forecast, was that the point of eatura- tion in the production of new motor cars, which already stand in the proportion of about to each 5 of the population in the United States, will be reached long before 1932, and that the demand for rubber will tend to become stationary. Ten years ago the possibility of cars standing in the relation of 1 to 6 of population' was ridiculed even in the United States, but the car producers are not, reducing their output, and all the other countries are so very far behind the American level of car use that there seems to be still a very big field for their enterprise. The enor rooua capital engaged in the manufacture of cars and of goods for winch cubber is ossential must, in its own interests, labour to increase the demand on the rubber produccra. That capital is the best propagandist they can have. On the basis of the calculation to which reference has been made the power of consumption in 1928 would be 693,509 tons, in 1932, 968,418 tona. Recently, the Dutch Indies Government intimated that the view of its experts was that increase of output from the native-owned plantations would cease about 1928. It true" that very hrge. new planting schemes are being projected in the Dutch Indies, and to a lesser extent in Malaya, and Mr. Fire- stone professes to have hopes even of Liberin. All these schemes are powerless to produce much impression on supplies immunity... before 1932, and it seems a reasonable
