LOCAL MARKETS IN 1928.

The following is a brief summary of the local markets during last year.

Metala: Huge amounts of iron and brass were taken up last year by the builders and as arrivals were not sufficient to meet the de mand, the prices rose continually. Merchants dealing in iron; brass and other metals made very good profits, two or three of them clear- ing over $200,000,

RUBBER.

GRADUAL SAGGING OF

PRICE.

LATEST QUOTATIONS.

We have received the following report of the Rubber Market for warded to us by Messrs Carroll, Bros. :-

The gradual sagging of the price of rubber during the past week seems to have brought a "certain amount of grim satisfaction to the pessimistically minded and some little trepidation in the "bull' element.

American consumption, rather than declining, appears to be in- ereasing; estimates for February being from 20,000 to 10,000 For March 44,000 tons.

Shipments from Malaya in February were heavy and undoubt edly affected the market adversely.

Thus whilst there may be a period of mactivity during which a little further sagging will probably occur, we think the day is not far distant when reduced shipments, law stocks and heavy consumption must inevitably induce higher prices.

We append latest quotations and dividends on Rubber and Mining Quotations.
