SMALL CONSUMPTION
CUTS RUBBER PRICE
Director in Many East Indian Com
panies Explains the Drop to
Dutch Association.
BY LEOPOLD ALETRINO.
Special Dispatch to The Star and Chica
Daily News.


Daily News.
AMSTERDAM, December 29.-J. NJ.
Burger, director in many East Indian
companies. and a recognized author
ity on rubber, told those at the an
nlal dinner of the Dutch Rubber
Trade Association last night that the
drop in price of crude rubber was
due to the fact that consumption had
been less than anticipated.
In today's market operations there
was nothing like the total which stock
exchange sales accumulated 10 days
and two weeks ago. The falling on In
business volume was, of course, the
most reliable measure so far as pub
lie participation in the market was
concerned.
There could be no uncertainty over
the more distant view on money con-
ditions when United States Treasury
obligations, some of them, sold at
new highs for the year and in the
case Of the Treasury As at the highest
they have ever touched.
The advance in French government
issues kept on at a moderate pace.
French francs were the same, Italian
lire a trifie lower. The demand to
remit to London over the end of the
year was sufficient to cause a further
advance in sterling. If this were more
than a temporary influence it might
be time to discuss the possibility of
gold shipments from this country. But
the year end demands of the sterling
market, as is well known do not out
last the beginning of the first week
in January.
Time money was reported in free
supply while call money was I'M
changed.

STOCK DROP HALTS;
RALLIES ABSENT
Market Makes No Effort To-
day to Recover Ground
Lost Yesterday.
BY STUART II. WEST.

NEW YORK, December 29.-Th'
market today made no effort to re
cover the ground lost yesterday. Oh
the contrary, further selling occur
red, which at one stage developed into
considerable weakness. Prices were
inclined TO harden at the end of the
first hour. but still there was nc
rally of the sort which might have
been looked for after the fairly sud
den downward turn of the previous
day.
There have bee.: many notable eX
ceptions, but more often than not the
last week of December has been a
neriod of unsettlement. One of the
traditional reasons is the money mar
ket preparing for the new year set
Elements. Another is the desire to
clear up open Wall Street accounts
as much as possible Where the mar
ket has been going up as it did be
tween the middle of October and the
middle of December, this balancing
of the books involves more OF de-
sire to sell than TO buy.
To these ordinary causes was added
yesterday-and. the Inference held
over until today-disap be-
cause the American Car directors dld
nothing in the way OF an extra be
cause the Allied Chemical increase
was not larger and because the Amer
lean Ice extra seemed small When
measured by the rise in the stock.
Hudson Motor continued to hold
about the best of the motor group.
Wall Street seeing in this corrobora-
ton for the gossip which has been
going around for some time, that new
interests have been buying in. The
consoling fact about Hudson Motor
from the standpoint of those VINO
have bought at much higher prices
is that the stock has record Tor eH-
traordinary fluctuations without any
great amount of change in hnanclal
or business affairs.
Oil shares held comparatively STEADY
as they had Yesterday 1t was not
to be said that bus franchlse pros
pects in Greater New York were much
of an influence. Omnibus Corpora
ton. representing one of the active
bidders, was somewhat higher. and at
one stage Manhattan Modified Guar
antee was up a point. InterDoro
Rapid Transit and Brooklyn Manhat'
tan Transit did little.
The decline in Allied Chemical which
had carried the stock down points
from yesterdays high was finally
checked just under 134. American
Can, which had touched 50 the day
before, when the dividend action was
known, got we'll below so. Whatever
little stimulus might have been found
In the 25-cent extra declaration on Ma
tional Biscuit was evidently exhausted.
The stock was lower and so were
such recent favorites as Collins and
Altman, American Smelling. Wool
worth and United States Rubber.

TOXIC, Oct. GA monument in
though the South American demand
Tor German iron products has re
NAMED steady, German merchants
believe that the marketing posi-
bilities in South America will soon
show an appreciate rise. This con-
eiction applies particularly to the
Argentine and Brazil. where big sales
are being negotiated
Nevertheless, firms trading i'm steel
rails declare that their business has
suffered through :he transfer of sell
ing function to the newly established
European rail trust.
Brazilian import tariffs are also
the subject of complaint among Ger
main iron dealers, who assert that
the conclusion of transactions al
ready in negotiation has been rem.
dered difficult. because these tariffs
were not reckoned in the original
prices. 1t is pointed out that. since
che tariff is levied IN each ton, re-
gardless of the products value, the
burden is felt especially in the case
of iron shipments.
