RUBBER PRICES
BREAK SHARPLY
Lifting of Embargo Removes
Possibility of Corner and
Stimulates Business.

With the removal Of the British en-
barge ON rubber, prices for crude rub
Der have broken sharply in the market
here. The latest quotation for crude
Para and Ccylon is about 81 cents a
pound. while recently the same grades
were selling at so cents pound, and
az one time, not long after the war
started, Para and Ccylon went as high
as 81 80 a pound. For several months
high prices for rubber resulted in adj
yauccs in quotations for automobile
tires. ovcrshoes and other articles in
which rubber forms a part. Prices for
these goods are now declining and still
lower quotations are TO be expected
when manufacturers obtain fresh sup
plies az the lower market levels.
Az present. with loss of trade
with Germany and Austria absolute
and with diminished trade with the
rest of or the world for manufacturers
of articles boo which rubber is used
there viii probably be enough rubber
for all needs, and even lower quota
HONS may II Iun~luif ANi - HhN' 'N''
sumption by tire manufacturers is on
the increase. The electrical trade, the
second largest consumers of rubber
have cxhau stcd most Of their supplies
and their improving business will de-
mand large purchases from now on.
Added to the larger needs for rubber
for home use is the item Of demand
for war use. Not only i'm automobile
tires. but in coverings for supplies to
rrotect them from moisture, for aero
planes. military balloons and other war
machines and for footwear and gar
mcnts for the soldiers there IS vast
need for manufactures in which rubber
is used
Il is the opinion Of some authorities
that the lifting Of the embargo was
partly Influenced by the need of sup
niles from the United States for the
armies of the Allies. The conditions
under which the embargo was lifted
are so framed that practically all OF
the rubber brought into this country,
and about all the goods exported IN
which rubber Is used. must be under
strict supervision of British agents.
There are no reliable estimates as to
the absolute waste Of rubber in war
fare. but rubber goods manufacturers
here state that probably millions OF
pounds a year are being used up IN one
form or another.

Boston. Jan. %. Maine. Vermont,

were asked to-day TO join in action
aiming a. the rehabilitation of the Bos-
ton & Maine Railroad when the five
federal trustees appointed last fall an
rounced their plans for saving the sys-
tenn from being split up into its orig
iual small lines.
Proposed enabling legislation was ex-
planned by Judge Marcus J. knowl-
ton. of Springfield. chairman Of the
trustees, at meeting Of oihcialS OF
the company. Tie emphasized particu-
larly the need of modification Of the
heavy interest charges imposed by the
leases entered into by the railroad IN
its more prosperous days He said the
trustees offered as a solution Of the
problem three plans. all Of which con-
templatcd the maintenance of the rail-
road system as a unit.
The first plan gives the stockholders
of al. the lines an opportunity to eX-
change their holdings for new Boston
& Maine certificates. The second pro
yide4 for new corporation IN which
the leased property holders Join vol
UNFAIRLY The third suggests that in
case of q rcceiycrshlp the property
shall remain intact. but be reorCanized
under new name without the burden
of the excessive lease requirements
through the wiping out OF the stock Of
the leased lines.
The proposed legislation provides
that all existing contracts or purcE .ees
specifically provided by the act, except
the purchase Of capital stock of stock
holders. shall. not be valid except as
they are made by order of the courts
or authorized by q majority of the
directors and stockholders Of each Of
the corporations involved. In other
words. ,he existing leases cannot be
obrogated without a court order or the
consent of the stockholders of the
various companies.
Other provisions arc: Issuance Of
new preferred stock of the Boston e
Maine, 60 be exchanged for stock of the
leased lines; legalizing OF the new
securities so that they Will become
savings bank investments; Inclusion Of
the Hampdcn railroad as part of the
system TO be reorganized; cutting Of

No Cotton Pool Assessment.

With cotton now selling az prices
which make unnecessary the existence
of the $4,000 900 cotton loan fund
and the fact that the applications from
the South for loans to date are little
in excess of $4,000. some OF the sub
scribing bankers began figuring yes
terday on possible assessment 20
aid in defraying the expenses Of the
committee.
In the plan outlined by the commit
tee in December IL was pointed out,
however, that the cost Of administer
ing the fund and the losses, IL any.
were to be paid out Of the so-called 3
per cent guarantee fund contributed
by the borrowers. For this reason a
member of the committee stated that
an assessment on the subscribing
banks was unlikely.
