 about 625,000 pounds. 



ANTWERP RUBBER STATISTICS I-OR NOVEMBER. 



'Balata from Venezuela. 



Exports of Balata from Ciudad Bolivar have been during the 

 last four years, as follows: 



In 1902 ..kilos 816.752 1111904 kilos 905,922 



In 1903 1,094,578 In 1905 1,280,077 



The figure for 1905 was the largest ever recorded, and it would 

 appear that the Balata business has fully recovered from the ef- 

 fects of the recent political troubles in Venezuela. 



Havre. 



AT the inscription sale of December iS about 135 tons of rubber 

 were off'ered, from the French Congo, Madagascar, and Tonkin, 

 with smaller lots from Java and Ceplon The brokers' estimations 

 on some of the lots were : Upper Congo Oubanghi, 11.75 francs per 

 kilo; Upper Congo Batouri, 11,10 francs ; Congo M'Poko, 1325 

 francs; Congo Ekela-Sangha. 10.90 francs; Madagascar Majuuga; 

 8.75 francs ; Tonkin black, 8.35 francs ; Tonkin red, 7 francs^=^ 

 This was the fourth monthly inscription sale at Havre. The im- 

 portance of the offerings from Madagascar is indicated as follows : 

 September 21 — 21 out of 63 tons; October 25 — 14 in 35 tons; 

 November 23 — 4 of 161 tons ; December iS — 22 of 135 tons. 



Li'verpool. 



William Wright & Co. report [December 1] : 



Fine Par A. — The market has been active with few fluctuations. 



During the early part of the month prices declined slightly, but 

 have since recovered, and at the close Upriver is about the same as 

 last month, while Island is fully id. per pound cheaper. There 

 has been a good demand for old hard from America, and consider- 

 able quantities have been shipped there. In Pard and .Mandos 

 prices much above the parity of those ruling here continue to be 

 paid, partly, perhaps due to the low state of the rivers which re- 

 tarded supplies. I.,atest reports, however, state that the rivers are' 

 rising ia])idly, tlie probabilities being that December receipts will 

 be large. 



Edmund ScHLiiTER & Co. report [November 30] : 

 With the larger recei|)ts in November and the estimated further 

 increase during December, the tendency has become very quiet, 

 and it remains to be seen whether the buying at Mandos and Pard 

 will be -sufliciently powerful to absorb the larger supplies without 

 a concession on the part of the sellers. Considering the increase 

 in deliveries to the trade, the increase of supplies is not at present 

 sufficiently heavy to make a serious decline probable.
