Rubber's Recovery

London, Sept. 27.

The recovery of the price of rubber to 8d. per lb, yesterday is attributed to the fall in London stocks to 71,167 tons, fresh discussion of restriction schemes, increased demand from America and renewal of the Russian demand.

The Rubber Shareholders Association publish a message from their agent visiting Penang, contending that much waste existed on the majority of estates. He suggested that better results would follow if the properties were managed on one system and the purchase of material and recruitment of labour wore established on ce-operative lines.—Reuter.
