REVIEW OF THE CRUDE RUBBER MARKET. 



THE market has continued, during the past month, in 

 a stable condition. It has been almost without fluc- 

 tuation, but with a gradually upward tendency for 

 the I'an'i sorts, closing both higher than at the be- 

 ginning of the month and with more firmness. Buying appears 

 more active of late, which would have the effect of stiffen- 

 ing prices, and the increase of arrivals at Para since July i 

 over last season's figures has not been maintained. Stocks of 

 some grades have been very low, particularly of coarse Para, 

 the advance in which has been more marked than in the 

 case of the fine grades. 



There are fewer changes to record in Africans and Cen- 

 trals, the demand for which has been only moderate dur- 

 ing the month. The tendency has been upward, however, 

 as shown in the results of the Antwerp sale on October 23 — 

 an average advance of about 2".' cents a pound. 



Arrivals at Para of all grades (including Caucho) since the 

 beginning of the crop year have been :
