THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



[June i, 1906. 



not expected to come in before the second half of next month, so 

 it may be taken as probable that onr market will rule very (juiet 

 up to that time. Reports of an early fall of the rivers are now 

 confirmed from all quarters, in consequence of which the new 

 Sertao crop will start as early as July from the Madeira. 



R. O. Ahlers & Co. report [Maj- 11]: 



The quiet tone which prevailc<l in the market throu>;hout the 

 last week has only momentarily been interrupted bv the arrival of 

 some larger lots of Sertao rubber, for which buyers have shown a 

 more eager demand than might have been anticipated after the 

 quiet news from the consuming centers. Milreis prices a.sketl for 

 these lots by holders have consequently been very high and foun<l 

 only reluctant buyers, as exchange developed a steady upward 

 tendency during the last few days.

Edmind vStiii-iiTiCR & Co. report [April 30]: 

 The reports from and the deliveries to the trade in Ivurope con- 

 tinue s;itisfactory, but deliveries in .\merica were small, and the 

 visible supply remains about what it was last month. The general 

 opinion is, therefore, that the market will show no imixntant 

 alteration in the near future.

VViLi.i.\M Wright & Co. report [Maj' i]: 



Milf Parti. — The market has been extremely (|uiet, and prices 

 have declined fully \d. per pound. Manufacturers generally have 

 abstaineii from buying, but there are signs at the close of a more 

 active demand. As the crop is now practically over, in view of the 

 possible .American recjuirements later on, in addition to an antici- 

 pated sharp decline in receipts at Mandos, European manufacturers 

 would, we think, be acting wisely in taking advantage of the tem- 

 porary decline in values. For future delivery sales are small, this 

 owing to the fact that .sellers will not quote far distant ; a good 

 business would be done for July and August if sellers would (juote 

 this po.silion. 



Rubber Stealing in Li'verpool. 



Me.ssrs. IIydes, L.\th.\m & Co., 28, Exchange street, East, 

 advise The Indi.a. RtUBKR Wori.d that burglars on a recent Sat- 

 urday evening broke open their warehouse and look away rubber 

 of the value of about .^700 [ $3500]. The burglars left no trace 

 behind, and the police have made no arrest. The local trade 

 quickly raised a fund of ^250 which has been guaranteed to the 

 chief constable for disposal as a reward on conviction of the 

 thieves. The firm write: "It would be interesting to the trade 

 here to learn the ultimate destination of this and other parcels of 

 stolen rubber, as the efforts of these warehouse robbers are devel- 

 oping on quite wholesale lines Should any of your subscribers 

 be offered about 25 cwt. of Sierra Leone Manoh niggers, dry con- 

 dition ; about 7 cwt. old stored and very dry Madagascar ball, or 

 about 2 cwt. old dry Pard, they may assist us by notifving us of 

 the fact and stating through whom the offer was made."
