Yesterday. A large shipment of sapty cans and cases from Java is reported to have been shipped through Hong Kong to Formosa, ready for use in packing Japanese spirit for import into China.

MANGANESE AND TUNGSTEN.

STRONG GERMAN DEMAND.

Manganese and tungtsen are most valuable metals for 'munition manu- facture, and are largely exported from China. Both metals are found at Lok Cheung and along the North River valley, being transport- ed thence to Hong Kong.

Before the war, a large amount of business was done with German merchants in the Colony, and at that time prices ranged between 870 and $30 per pical.

Since the war Chinese dealers have done no business with Ger- many until recently; when German merchants have agnia appeared in the market for these metals. There is a large demand, and although several big shipments have arrived in Hong Kong from the North River district, the supply is not suficient to meet the demand. Presens quo- tations range from $28 to 800 per picul.

BENEFITS OF RUBBER

RESTRICTION.

Restriction of output by British rubber estates came to an end o October 31st, and in the Investore Review, Mr. A. W. Still exhaus tively analyses the results of the experiment initiated six years ago on November 1st, 1922, Taking the five years 1923-27, during which restriction was in effective opera tion, he shows that British estates earned over £75,000,000 more than they would have done, under an- restricted production, after mak ing due allowance for increased costs owing to the smaller output, 8315 while, without restriction, it is 311 practically certain that at least 25 per cent. of the capital sunk in the industry (say £150,000,000), would have been lost through the abandonment of estates. It is true that foreign estates benefited to the' extend of nearly £70,000,000, but 3440 the iden put forward as a reason 448 for the Government's action that restriction had become a Revere 694 handicap-to-British industry and advantageous only to the Dutch" 18, Mr. Still maintains, fallacious.
