Rubber Export Quota
Boosted Again for
Next Quarter
Committee Advances
Shipment Schedule
To 80 Per Cent

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Nov. 16.-The lnternA-
tional Rubber Regulation Commit
tee late yesterday fixed the rubber
export quota for the first quarter Of
1910 at 80 per cent Of the basic
quotas set for participating coun-
tries.
The committee may revise its de-
cision on the permissible exportable
amount at any time. The quota for
the last quarter of 1899 was first 80
per cent, but was subsequently raised
to rs per cent.
NEW YORK, Nov. 16 R.-A war
stimulated race to replenish rubber
supplies in the United States was
indicated today in trade figures
showing a heavy movement of the
material from the Far East.
The Rubber Manufacturers Asso-
ciation reported l00,500 long tons of
crude rubber were afloat at the end
Of October, headed for United States
ports, to build up stocks which have
been reduced to unusually low levels
by record consumption.
The figure was nearly double the
October 1888, total Of 51,062. Rub
Der authorities said it was the largest
float" destined for this country in
many years.
British and Dutch merchant ships,
which usually carry the bulk of the
imports from the Netherlands East
Indies and British Malaga, have
been bringing rubber via the Pan
anna Canal and direct to the Pacific
Coast in a shift from peacetime
routes through the Suez Canal and
around the Cape of Good Hope,
rubber sources asserted.
Some has been moving overland
by rail from Pacific Coast ports to
the consuming areas, including
Akron, instead of through New
York, it was said.
The Manufacturers Association es-
llmatec october consumption in the
United States increased to a record
total of 55,764 tons, compared with
42850 in the like 1888 month.
Domestic stocks, it reported,
dropped to 1898 tons at the end
of October, compared with 259,074
a year ago, making the smallest
supply on hand since January, 1880.
At the recent rate of use, it was
pointed out, supplies were equal to
only about two and one-half months
needs. Some trade interests have
been urging building supplies to at
least six months needs as a wartime
precaution.
The trade data, it was noted, ex-
cluded any rubber the United States
may acquire in the Government s
barter of cotton with the British.

siderable resistance, closing 40 centimes up

By the Associated Press.

Farm employment on November

with 1l,166,0 900 on the same date

The Agricultural Department re-
ported today that unfavorable
moisture conditions over much of
the winter wheat area hampered
fall seeding operations and con-
tributed to the decline.
Likewise unusually favorable
weather conditions for picking cot
ton hastened the harvest of that
crop and thereby contributed to a

Michigan Chronicle
Detroit, Mich.
Dear Editor:
May | as a reader OF your weekly
newspaper insert a note asking
WHY?
Why it is necessary when one
picks an evening for dramatic en-
tertainment such as was staged by
the Delta Sigma Theta under the
caption Jabberwock, that We are to
be reminded Of discriminatory acts
towards us by the white race.
1t seems to me that an organiza-
ton Of the type that the Delta's are,
which is a beacon light for progress.
that they would have such skits as
Marry Marrsfotts-
We all are we'll aware that there
are two or more sides 10 any ques-
ton but in this particular case l
would think that such presentations
should not be presented to an en-
lightened audience such as was
there and in particular mixed
audience.
We know that there are Race
riots and mob spirits. Why bring
that up? Are they trying TO keep
that spirit afsme? Such scenes as
this gives depressed feeling rather
than uplifting one.
What was its purposed? Was it TO
remind US as Negroes 10 stay in our
places or was il telling more OF US
10 move in restricted neighbour
hoods?
This letter expresses my humble
thoughts relative 10 the effect Of
such skits as Many Mansions
looking forward to next year for
more inspiring Jabberwock.-
