The jury of four women and |eight men had been absent' 40 minutes considering their ver- dict.

MINCING LANE IN THE DARK AS TO REASON

STOCKS SHOULD STILL FALL 24,000 TONS

Commenting on the decision of the International Rubber Regulation Committee Inercosing the export xl- lowance for the first quarter of next year to 50 per cent, of basle quotes, Symington and Wilson, London, in their report write:-

One is of course in 'the dark as to the reasoning which led the Com- mittee to their decision. In view of the agitation which has been going on in America for an increase to 53 per cent, it is to be presumed that the American manufacturers put for. ward high estimates of American consumption in the early months of next year.

On more than one occasion pro- viously estimates have been put for- ward on behalf of the manufacturers which have afterwards proved to be entirely illusory. One must benton that the Committee have by now learnt to

these exulmates with regard

a certain amount of scepticism and is therefore forced to the conclusion that on this occasion the Advisory Panel of Manufacturers have been able to show good reasons why their estimates are likely to prove correct.
