FOREIGN RUBBER
SLUMP STUDIED
Mortality Rate Proves to
Be High Among New
Investment Trusts.
BY FREDERICK GARDNER,
A ,-o,Ia%~A n~os. TSpo rria1 uJrif or

Associated PreSS f1nanClal WIlteT.
NEW YORK, June l5.-The greater
decline in foreign rubber consumption
during April than was noted in this
country is regarded with some ap-
prehension by the trade.
1t marks the first time, they point
out. that the comparatively heavy rate
of consumption abroad has been mark
edly curtailed Rubber tire manufac-
turers here, of course. reduced their
takings months ago when the winds
of recession first started to blow.
European industry. however. did not
at least through the end of March
reduce operations significantly. The
acceleration of decline noted in April,
therefore, may mark the initial step
toward throttling the foreign indus
trial machine.
Some analysts take the view. on the
other hand. the relatively smaller con-
sumption dip in this country merely
reflects the fact manufacturing has
already fallen to an unusually cur
tailed level and is therefore merely
a statistical reminder OF the extent
of the setback.
Investment Trust Mortality.
Some idea Of depression mortality
among investment trusts is contained
in a recent Securities and Exchange
Commission report showing only $50
out Of q total of 1872 such companies
started between 1927 and 1886 were
still in business on the later date.
