Hamburg. 



A CORRESPONDENT of THE INDIA RUBBER WoRLD writing from 

 f.iverpool on the statistical position of rubber says : 



" Hamburg in particular is becoming every year a more important 

 center for the importation of rubber, both African, Central American, 

 and Brazilian, and it seems a great pity that those interested in the 

 progress of Hamburg as a rubber market should not make some effort 

 to demonstrate the importance of their market by the issuing of proper 

 and reliable statistics." w ^

Wiii.iA.M Wright & Co. report [October 2] : 



Fine Para. — The market has been quiet, with few fluctuations. The 

 loss of the Cyril \>.te page 45 this issue] had comparatively little effect 

 n the market. Manufacturers continue to buy sparingly, and sellers on 

 the other hand are chary of offering far ahead, o» ing to uncertainty as to 

 the future. The Paia and Manaos markets have been active throughout 

 the month, and there has been some resumption of American buying, 

 which was only to be expected. Receipts are fairly liberal, and are ex- 

 pected to continue heavy, so that, unless American buyers force prices 

 — and we are glad to note so far they have shown no signs of doing so — 

 we may expect an easement in prices. 



Africans have been in good request during the month, and a fair bus 

 iness has been done. O x'\a^ to small supplies prices have in some cases 

 advanced, more especially red Sierra Leone and Gold Coast lump ; 

 value of the former 4^. iyid , and latter 2.t. 61/., after having touched

Ed.mund SchluTER & Co. report [September 30] : 



The market for Para grades has been quiet, and with the exception of 

 a short lived advance to ss. id., following the loss of 2co tons rubber 

 in the steamer Cyril, prices of tine have tended in buyers' favor. Cau- 

 cho advanced owing to scarcity of supplies. The tendency at the close 

 was distinctly towards lower prices, and from Brazilian infoimation it 

 would appear that supplies will be equal or surpassing any noimal de- 

 mands.
