Staiistics of Para l^ubber {Excluding Caucho) . 



In regard to the financial situation, Albert B. Beers (broker 

 in India-rubber, No. 68 William street, New York) advises us 

 as follows ; 



" Since August the condition of the money market has changed 

 materially, and the demand for paper has been much lighter 

 during September than for several inonths past, and rates have 

 been strong at 5 per cent, for the best rubber names, and 5>^ 

 @ 6'^ per cent, for those not so well known."

Kanthack & Co. report [September 11] : 



The rubber market has been distinctly more cheerful than for some 

 time past, and with the continuance of well sustained and animated de- 

 mand the impulse towards higher prices has taken further effect. Re- 

 ceipts are on quite a normal scale, being slightly in excess of last year's, 

 while crop prospeets continue to be very satisfactory.
