A shelf projecting some six or eight inches from the circumference encircled the dummy about three feet from the bottom...
...tons. Dutch plantations, in Java and the East Indies, produced only 95,000 tons. Prices were low. In an attempt to boost prices, establish a monopoly, Great Britain undertook, by the Stevenson Restriction Act, to regulate exports from Malaya.
