India Rubber Market Report. 



February 15th, 1912. 



Since the last auction the niirket has assumed a rather quieter- 

 tone, but prices have only sh\)wn very slight variations. 



At the sale h^ld this week, thj amount aivertised was about 120 

 tons less thnn a fortnight ago. 



In sympathy with the private market, the sales opened witli 

 rather quiet competition, but all through the auction the tone steadily 

 improved, and while at the beginning quotations were id. to i/^d. 

 below those of a fortnight ago, by the end of the sale the whole of 

 this discount was made up, and rates, especially for Crepe, often 

 marked a slight improvement on those of the end January sale. 



The highest figure was 5/4% f )r one parcel of Highlands sheet,. 

 5/4^ being frequently paid for lii^ht Crepe on the second day of the 

 sale. 



As will ht seen from the fi:(ures published overleaf, the total 

 exports of Plantation Rubber from the East during 1911 amounted 

 to nearly 14,000 tons.
