REVIEW OF THE CRUDE RUBBER MARKET. 



TIIR situation in the trade is not such as to call for any 

 special comment, in view of the amount of detailed 

 information contained in the quotations and statis- 

 tical tables presented in different parts of this 

 month's paper. Total Para receipts for the first six months 

 of the season (to December 31) were 14,670 tons — an increase 

 of 1370 tons over the same months of 1904. January arrivals, 

 up to the 29th were 4755 tons (including Caucho) against 

 4590 tons in the preceding December. 



Following is a statement of prices of I'ara grades, one year 

 ago, one month ago, and on January 30 — the current date :

R. O. AiiLERS & Co. report [January 2] : 



The market lias continued to display great firmness, and under 

 the influence of good demand not only has considerable activity 

 prevailed, but the impulse lowanls higher prices has .ilso exercised 

 its due effect. The simultaneous improvement reported from the 

 consuming markets has likewise contributed to impart additional 

 strength.

London. 



January 19. — The market for Pard rubber has been weaker and 

 lower in consequence of reported good arrivals at Pard, and 

 buj'ers have shown little disposition to operate. Fine hard 

 was sold on the spot an<l forward at ss. 4Ud- down to 5.?. 3K</. ; 

 soft fine sold on the spot at j.f. 2d. Bolivian fine spot sold at 5s. 

 4%d. to 5s. 3^4d. Fair scales of Peruvian ball spot and near 3.S. 

 jd. At today's auction medium grades were scarce and met a slow 

 demand and only a part sold at steady rates. Columbian good 

 clean white scrape is y^d. Madagascar mixed Majunga and black 

 coated slab at 25. T^d- to 2S. lo}id. Assam plantation rather 

 barky at 4s. 3^.
