py Hoosler Harmonists in dance program, WHAS only stops at our set at intervals, so we make the most of the program when we get them. The band which furnished the enter tainment last night came through with "Od Gray Bonnet" and "Red Nose Pete" as two of the snappiest of a group of snappy selections.
 
 Some station, the call letters of which we could not get, put on a program of war songs in the course of the evening. The station was on about 2S5 meters and came in strong. Among the numbers were Its a Long Way To Tipperary' and "Over There

Dealers Waiting for Break.

American importers and rubber
dealers are not particularly enthusiast
tic about the high prices. For they
cannot get spot stocks to sell their
customers.
The latter could buy July futures
for cents a pound less than spot
rubber, but they are declining to do
so. Dealers say they are holding back
in the hope something may happen to
break the price.
But automobile makers and owners
are calling for tires. Akron factories
are running close to capacity and the
demand shows no signs of diminish
ing. There is plenty of rubber in the
Far East right now, but even if all
restrictions were removed and the
rubber shipped Immediately it would
not reach manufacturers until July.
The prospect, therefore, for a fall in
crude rubber sufficient to obviate
necessity for an advance in tires seems
extremely unlikely.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1925-05-15
Plan al First Favored.

When the plan was first put into
effect, American manufacturers in
general favored it. After the war
English plantation owners were get
ting 10 cents for rubber which cost
them at least % cents a pound to
produce. American manufacturers
feared that unless something were
done to stabilize the price, many
planters would abandon their estates
and allow them to revert to jungle.
This eventually would have meant
short supplies of rubber and extreme
ly high prices.
The manufacturers, however, APP
parently were not sure the Stevenson
plan was going TO work and they did
not lay in supplies or contract for
cheap rubber. They have been buy
ing spot" and as the production was
kept down and consumption kept up
visible supplies began to disappear
and prices to shoot skyWard-

London Stocks Almost Gone.

In the last year rubber prices have
gone steadily up. Consumption has
increased with equal speed. ou ing to
the improvement in the deman for
automobiles and increased manu-
featuring operations. The use Of
more rubber has been furthered by
the popularity OF balloon tires, which
contain more rubber than the high
pressure types. On the other hand.
stocks of rubber in London. the prin-
cipal storage center, have dropped III
the last year from 10000 tons TO 5000
tons.
The Stevenson plan provides that
only a certain amount of rubber may
be shipped from Singapore and Other
Far East colonial ports each quarter.
The amount varies automatically
with the price for the last c uartCr.
The English producers designed the
plan to peg the market at around 81
cents. If the price is up the amount
for export is increased or - per
cent. II the price is down it reduces
the amount which may be shipped
similarly.

ADVANCE IN AUTO
TIRES HELD LIKELY
Rubber Highest in Years and
Shipments Small to Meet
Increasing Demand.
BY j. c. ROYLE.


NEW YORK, May 15.-An advance
in the prices of automobile tires,
rubber footwear. hose and other
mechanical rubber goods seems in
evitable. That is the opiniorl eX
pressed today by importers and deal
ers in crude rubber and by rubber
manufacturers. This feeling lis not
confined to men in this city inter
ested in the industry. DiSpa .tches
received from New England and Ohio
manufacturing centers confirm the
statement. 1t is widely predicted that
one large tire manufacturer will ad-
vance prices of all grades I'M pedi-
ately
Rubber Highest i'm Years.
The trend to higher prices is based
OH the present statistical position of
rubber and its price, which, Il round
60 cents pound, is higher than for
many years. Since 1922 rubber has
risen from Is to is cents a pound to
a range of 50 to 90 cents. I'll ere is
no immediate prospect that prices
and rage arising from tire manufac-
turers here and abroad.
The So-called Stevenson y, an of
restricting rubber shipments from
the Straits Settlements is held re-
sponSible for the situation. Some
manufacturers hold the plan TO
blame. while others assert that If the
scheme had not been in effect they
might have been paying SO a pound
for rubber instead of 90 cents.
