The consumption of Far Eastern plantation rubber in America 

 has been much larger than is indicated by the above figures, on 

 account of the exports here from Europe. 



AT THE AUCTIONS. 



London, March i. — Offerings of plantation rubber to-day were 

 the largest yet recorded, the Malay States contributing about 31 

 tons and Ceylon 8 tons. The highest price was 5s. g%A@Z^. lod.

.Antwerp, February 22. — At the large auction to-day something 

 like 5;4 tons of Malay States plantation rubber, in several small 

 lots, realized from 7'/t to 85 centimes above the broker's valuation. 

 The highest price paid was 16.35 francs per kilogram [ = $1.43 

 per pound] for a fine lot of crepe rubber. 

 Para. 



R. O. .Ahleks & Co. report [March l] : 



Our market, since our last report, has not shown much animation, but 

 prices have bten maintained, owing to the steadiness of consuming centers. 

 There is no doubt that very large quantities are still accumulated in the 

 sertao regions, but as the rivers are still so low, at this advanced time of 

 the season, great apprehension ir. felt in some quarters as to whether several 

 steamers from there will be enabled at all to come down, especially since 

 nearly all the river steamers have suffered heavy damages, and are partly 

 unable to proceed. 



The Brazilian Review, published at Rio, had this information in 

 its issue of February 12: "Owing to the rivers being low, entries 

 of rubber are later than usual at Manaos and Para, so that the 

 season instead of practically closing in March will be prolonged 

 to the end of April or, perhaps, into May, and the supply of 

 rubber bills be spread over a longer period." 



Batata. 



S. Figgis & Co. (London) report in their annual review for 

 1906: Balata was in much reduced supply. Consequently the 

 price gradually advanced, fine sheet closing at 2s. zYid. (S!
