Market on Malay Peninsula lor Veneer Chests 



Most of the boxes used for shipping rubber from the Straits Set- 

 tlements are imported from Japan and are of two kinds, one known 

 as Momi chests and the other as veneer chests. These are shipped 

 knocked down in six pieces. There is also a veneered box known 

 as Venesta chests, which are supplied from England. These boxes 

 are selling in Singapore at about $1.60 Straits currency for veneer 

 and Venesta chests and about $1.06 for Momi chests (equivalent 

 to about $0.85 and $0.55 gold). The chests are of standard size, 

 19 by 19 by 24 inches. When packed with rubber they weigh 

 from 160 to 200 pounds. Since the annual export of rubber from 

 the Straits Settlements amounts to about 150,000 tons, there is a 

 large demand for cases of this kind. Efforts have been made to 

 produce locally boxes suitable for the shipment of rubber, but at jn 



present prices the imported chests can be purchased cheaper than ■ 



those produced locally. Consul R. S. McNiece, Penang, in U. S.

Fire Consumes Lumber Piles 



Fire which broke out in two piles of lumber owned by Tillman 

 Bros. Furniture Co., of La Crosse, Wis., destroyed the piles in 

 which the blaze started, but was prevented from spreading further. 

 The fire, probably caused by a carelessly thrown cigarette or cigar 

 butt, caused a loss which as yet is undetermined.
