THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



137 



In regard to the financial situation, Albert B. Bteis (buke 

 in India rubber. No. 68 VVilliam street, New York) advises us as 

 follows : 



" During December the demand for paper has been light and 

 irregular, city banks taking but little, and the small buying by 

 out-of-town ones has been at rates running from 5>4 (" 7 per 

 cent, for the various rubber names."

Kanthack & Co. report [December 1 1] : 



With a growing feelingof confidence, a general and sustained demand 

 has prevailed, and although supplies continue on quite a liberal scale, 

 the power of absorption has been equally good. Prices have not only been 

 steady throughout, but have lately experienced some improvement, a 

 firm tone being noticeable at the close.

William Wright & Co. report [December i] : 

 Finf Purd —There has been more demand for spot rubber. Prices 

 have only fluctuated slightly, closing quotation being $s. 3</. for Up- 

 river, and 5j. 2il. for Islands. For delivery there has been a strong de- 

 mand, especially for January-February and February-March, which still 

 continues, 5^. 2%'l. to 5^. 31/. being to-day's value. To our mind this 

 presages the probability of a strong American demand during the heavy 

 month's receipts. During next month it is possible prices may react 

 slightly, but all present indications point to a strong demand and no ma- 

 terial break in prices. A very large business could have been done in 

 delivery for next year, but selleisdeclined to operate freely, which is not 

 to be wondered at, when Macaos prices are 2'^i/. per pound over those 

 ruling here, and a further cause of hesitation is due to the uncertainty of 

 American action in the near future. Present rates, from a manufactur- 

 er's point of view, are, we think, fairly safe.
