HIURLANDS AND LOWLANDS,

FOLICY OF LAUNCHING AYER KUNING COMPANY,

A correspondent writes to the Stralis Times as follows with 'reference to the method of raining working capital recently adopted by the directors of the Highland and Lowlands Rubber Company -

Do you consider the scheme whereby a portion of Ayer Kooing in sold to another company in the interests of the old com- pany? ~ I should have thought, considering the high capital of Highlands and Lowlands, that it would have been wiser to raise deben ture and develop Ayor Kuning to the utmost possible extent and thereby reduce the capital cost per acre to such a basis thatthe future was absolutely safe. As things now stand the capital of the old company remalas the same, namely £310,000, and the acreage of planted rubber is reduced by 1:532 Acr

The question raised by our correspondent. is of considerable goveral interest, and we would answer it as follows, taking perhaps more of a practical than a theoretically correct view because the situation of the rubber Industry Just now is abnormal:-

-THE SCHAME...

Highlands and Lowlands Company has go issued capital of £110,000. The directors stated that all this capital has bean called up and expended.... A year ago it was considered
