OPTIMISM-

At the annual meeting of the Chamber of Mines held at Ipoh, Mr. T. R. A Windeatt presiding, gave a lengthy review of local con- ditions. He expressed satisfaction as the adjustment in the Mining Enactment to suit the views of the chamber and referring to tin said:

During the part year the price of the metal fell from £201,5 to fo05.10 as the result of increased world production. It is believed that for some time past the price has been artifically maintained by the operation of a powerful group in London and an air of uncertainty prevails with regard to the future.

Artificial restriction of output on large scale was contrary to the faterests of the industry in Malaya and was unlikely to receive the support of experienced opinion, either European or Chinese.
