Next, Messrs. Symington and Wilson quote
message from Banjermassin to the effect that the European, Native and Japanese rubber growers there, the Chinese exporters, and the European and Native Administration at a meeting on October 2 unanimously rejected the idea of an ad valorem, export duty, "considering the least dis advantageous system would be one of licences and restriction based on potential production."
message quoted above in regard to The joint effect of this, and the Sir Cecil Clementi's speech, con- clude Messrs. Symington and Wil- son, is to give the impression that, while there is no reason to believe that restriction is not on the way, it may be further off than the market thought."

Traders regarded the feeling of a quist strength today quite favourably, while the orents of the week leadá additional evidence to the theory that the market has finally succeeded in establishing a sound basis.
Wheat: The buying of cash wheat by the Government has encourage local buying on a thin market. The Winnipeg market followed sluggishly. Cotton: The market was steady for most of the day under a fair Trade demand. Hedge selling was light, which factor some believe to be. due to producefs taking advantage of the Government loans.
Silver: Prices fluctuated irregularly over narrow limits. Trading was dull and featureless, outside interest being small,
