J.\N'ii.\RY II. — Lewis & Peat report: "Plantation Grown Para.

 and hlock, at 5^ 7d.^ss. 8d. f=$i.357'^@$l-37?-^] pcr pound, and 

 a small business has been done privately." No auctions this week. 



J.\.\ii.\RY 18. — About 31 tons of plantation rubber were offered 

 to-day and found buyers at higher prices. The highest price 

 paid was 5s. iid. [=$1.44] per pound, for I case of Ceara bis- 

 cuits from Rangbodde estate, Ceylon. The next highest price 

 was 5s. lo^d. for crepe, from the Consolidated Malay Rubber 

 Estates, Limited. The average paid for plantation sorts was 

 2ii(\. \ — S'/i centsl higher than at the preceding auction. 



At a meeting of the directors of the Rubber Goods Manufac- 

 turing Co. (New York, January 24) the question was considered 

 of liciuidating the company as a separate corporation, now that 

 its shares arc held by the United States Rubber Co. No decision 

 was reached, and the matter is expected to be taken up at the 

 next niocting of the board.

Edmund Schi.uter & Co. report [December 31I : 

 Para Rubber. — Para grades were somcwdiat less active dur- 

 ing the month than during November. The expectations of 

 larger arrivals from lirazil wxrc not realized, as the con- 

 tinued low water in the rivers made it impossible for the re- 

 ported stocks in the interior to come down. In consequence, 

 prices hardened a little, and quotations at the close were dearer. 

 Inasmuch as it is impossible to say when the predicted large 

 increase of receipts at Manaos and Para will take place, it is 

 difficult to form an opinion about prices, but the available sup- 

 plies at the consuming markets during the next few weeks will 

 be small and prices therefore cannot be expected to recede. This 

 is especially the case with caucho, the proportion of which in 

 the arrivals at Manaos is exceedingly small.
