The market opened 1/8 of a cent lower for all deliveries as com- pared with Wednesday's closing rates.
Throughout, the session the market ruled quiet and dull. Despite the fact that demand for "spot" Rubber was active, both dealers and speculators preferred to remain on sidelines awaiting the impending quota-decision on the 18th instant.
Closing tone was quiet.
Preliminary shipments of Native and Estate Rubber from the Netherlands East Indies during April amounted to 28,577 tong as against 28,456 tons during March 1939.
The Unofficial Forecast of Domestic Malayan Rubber Exports for May 1939 is 24:298 tons as against an estimate of 30,000 tons in April

NEW YORK COTTON
Further resistance was demonstrated by to-day's market, in spite of higher Liverpool cables. Measured by the price movements, trad- ing was very slow and confined to liquidation and slight speculative selling. However, some losses were recovered towards the close, and final prices were only slightly below the day's high levels,
NEW YORK RUBBER
The market continued to be dull and featureless. Very little trading was done, and price change were slight. The "quota" meet- lag will take place on the 16th instant.
CHICAGO WHEAT
Prices moved lower early in the session on account of liquidation on the easiness of the Winnipeg market. Later, the market streng- thened on the Chicago elevator Are, but this proved to be short- lived. The market became easter towards the close.
