The London rubber market was excited yesterday and the spot price declined about three-pence per Ib. and forward deliveries five-pence to, six-pence per Ib. on the report from Colombo that a representative uz meeting of rubber interests thers had approved a proposal by Mr. Amery, Secretary of State for tha Colonies, to increase the maximum jaunt of rubber exportable at the imum rate of duty during November, December and January by 20 per cent. instead of by 10epee cent., but a denial by the Colonial Office that any decision in that connexion had hitherto been reached Ted to a recovery. It is generally expected, however,. that a decision by the Colonial Office to amend the restriction scheme will shortly be announced.—Reuter.
