many important crude rubber mar kets; London and Liverpool in Eng land. Para and Manaos in Brazil. Bordeaux for wild rubber from French Africa and Madagascar, Lis- bon for Portuguese East Africa, and Antwerp for the Belgian Congo. Weekly auctions were held in Ant werp and Liverpool,
 Even today no rubber center has rubber exchange. Singapore, in the heart of the plantation section, has become the greatest primary market in the world, and London, through the fact that 75 per cent of the crude rubber is produced by British capi- tai. is the largest secondary mar ket. New York is the chief consum- CTS market, America consuming about n per cent of all the rubber produced Singapore, Colombo and Amsterdam have weekly auctions where lots are offered in variety of quantities and qualities, All the wild rubber" markets have sunk into insignificanee except Para and Manaos

Home Rule of Public Utilities IS Opposed
 by Selma Chamber

Selma November 2.-(Special J. The board of directors of the Selma Chamber of Commerce unanimously went on record today as opposing any movement to take the regulation of public utilities in Alabama out of the hands of the Alabama public service commission. A resolution similar in form that passed recently by the Montgomery Chamber of Commerce was drawn up and adopted by the directors.
 Morgan Richards, in bringing up the question, read the resolution adopted by the Montgomery body, explaining that there was legisla- tive bill, proposed by men in Blr- ningham, which if passed by the state legislature. would put the reg ulation of all public utilities in the hands of the several city councils and administrative officers of the various cities in the state.
 Mr. Richards spoke against the proposed bill, saying that it would involve a great deal of expeAse for city councils to hold hearings, and also that the public service comms- sion was more familiar with cases of this sort
