19 the market opened with prices unchanged for all deliveries as com-
pared with Wednesday's closing quotations,
Shortly after the opening the market was quiet with a steady undertone. Demand from principal consuming centres was good, but traders and speculators adopted a cautious attitude in view of the tense Far Eastern political situation.
Later in the session the market encountered easiness on proât- taking and heavy general liquidation, whlist prices registered a gradual decline of 5/8 of a cent due to scarcity of buyers. Appre- hensions of aggravating developments in the political situation were responsible for this extensive liquidation, particularly by Chinese operatora, but Rubber brokers advise purchases on any recessions.
Closing tone was steadier at the lower price-level. Malayan statistical ngures were published as follows:
