This is the second annual volume, a handbook on the trade and manufacturing in Malaya, very rare on the market. Malaya is as well assessed as a market for export from Britain. The annual specifies goods particularly in demand, such as sporting goods. "Most towns have their golf clubs and the demand for clubs, balls, etc. is good" (p. 44).
