Edmund Schluter & Co. report [October 31] : 

 Paid Rubber. — The market has been moderately active during the 

 month, without much pressure to sell, but at gradually lower prices fol- 

 lowing the large receipts at Manaos and Paia. The increa e of about 

 20 per cent, in the supplies during the first four months of the season is 

 in excess of actual requirements, and if continued in evenly smaller pro- 

 portions will tend to bring about a further decline.

K ANTHACK & Co. report ( November 11]: 



The late dullness prevailing at the consuming centers was to some 

 e.xtent reflected in the attitude of this market by want of animation, but 

 although business was not active, its volume was quite satisfactory, com- 

 prising nearly all arrivals. Values which on various occasions threat- 

 ened to give way were thereby kept fairly firm and have recently 

 improved in consequence of better news from the home markets. 



Referring to the loss of 210 tons of rubber by the sinking of the 

 steamer Cyril on ihe Amazon [see The India Rubber World, Novem- 

 ber I. 1905 — page 45J, Messrs. Booth & Co. advise us: " We are ad- 

 vised from Liverpool, under date of November i, that they have suc- 

 ceeded in salving 254 cases of Cyril's rubber and also loose rubber equal 



to about 30 cases in volume." New York Commercial Co. report : 



" We received a cable from our Para house on the 8th instant advising 

 that of the Cyril lost rubber there were 100 tons of Rubber recovered — 

 that is, line, medium, and coarse — and 16 tons of Caucho, and these 1 16 

 tons were being forwarded to Europe. This leaves a shortage of 94 tons, 

 which will probably be recovered later."
