Rubber Futures

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-Rubber
futures declined sharply today as
the further break in the stock mar
ket and a rather wide decline in
the foreign rubber markets COM
bined to bring out large number
Of selling orders.
The market on the Rubber Elk
change closed so to go points lower
and closed at the days lows. The
bulk of the selling came from Wall
Street commission houses and
proved too weighty for the trade
representatives to overcome.
After having dropped 80 to 40
points at the start, buying orders
from important quarters in the
trade held the market steady until
the final hour, when renewed selling
by Wall Street and beartsh pro-
fessionals again weakened the tone.
