Producers of other commodities seem to have developed similarly sensitive reflexes since Depression I when business took its time about shutting up shop. In London last week the International Rubber Regulation Committee cut the third quarter export quota to 45% of basic allowances. Setting of the new quota, lowest since the Committee was formed, halted an abrupt decline in prices-19.7? a Ib. down to 11.3? since last year.

March 29, 1937). Almost immediately afterward came the collapse of the British commodity boom, and rubber consumption presently slumped about 25%. In the U.
