The decision of the Government has quite na turally caused a good deal of local discussion.

I would seem, however, that for the present the company having nothing to do but to mark time so to speak until the head- quarters decide whether the company shall establish works here, or shall give up out that it would be a sheer impossibility dealing direct in the ore. It is pointed

A gentleman who is conversant with the course of the tin industry and tin export trade of Malaya has favoured the S. F. Press with these observations on the action of Government prohibiting any attempt on the part of outside schemes to "scoop" our tin trade :--
