Hn.MTND SciiLiiTER ct Co., report [May 31]: 



Willi a quiet demand and absence of speculation transactions in 



fine during the month show only a slight alteration in the value 



as against .\pril. The visible supply shows a substantial reduction. 



With moderate receipts during June, the market will remain 



steady, or it may show a slight recovery.

\Vii,i.i.\M WuKVHT & Co. report [June i] : 



Fine Para — There has been a little more activity but on the 

 whole the market has been dull throughout the month, and prices 

 are %d. per pound easier. The demand in .\merica has been dull. 

 .\lthough Para receipts are larger than anticipated, the increase is 

 entirely in Peruvian ball and slab ; in fact the receipts of Fine, etc., 

 are 260 tons less than corresponding month last jear, making the 

 total increase in the Pard crop only 680 tons. This will have its 

 effect later on, and accounts for the caution exercised by sellers, 

 especially as regards forward delivery, and also for the fact that in 

 spite of the full demand there has been a small reduction in 

 values. 



To THE Editor of The Indi.\ Rubber World ; We are 



pleased to say we have recovered the stolen rubber mentioned in 



your last issue (page 30S), with the exception of Yi ton, which the 



thieves had succeeded in disposing of in small lots. We beg to 



thank you for your help in this matter through the medium of 



your paper, and remain, Yours trulj',

R. O. AiiLERS & Co. report [May 21] : 



The decline has made further progress in accordance with the 

 home market, but actually affected very little our market, as the 

 Serlao crop is finished and Islands entries continue moderate It 

 seems to be probable that entries from July to September will be 

 he.Tvier than usual, due to the early start of the work in the in- 

 terior. 



'Bordeaux. 



TiiHRK has been organized here a Syndicat du commerce da caoul- 

 choues, the statutes having been approved at a meeting of the mem . 

 bers on March 27. Reime Commerciale regards liordeaux as the 

 French national market for rubber, the prominence of which will be 

 enhanced by the new organization. Havre, however, it says, seeks 

 to become the national market, in which encouragement is given 

 by the concessionaires of the Congo, who are mostly Belgians. 

 While the French government compels the latter to have a port of 

 transit in France, they desire to have it as near as possible to Bel- 

 gium. The editor of the Revue would allow HavTe t) keep the 



monopoly of the imports into France of Pard rubber, but if the 

 Congo produce should be added to Bordeaux's present trade, the 

 latter would become the most important rubber market in the 

 world. The government is asked to take off certain trade restric- 

 tions, and the French colonial banks to come to a better under- 

 standing of how they can assist in the development of the home 

 rubber market. The members of the new rubber syndicate are : 



Importers : Arcin Georges et Cie , Buhan ct Teisseire, Delmas 

 et Cie., Deves, Chaumet et Cie.. Maurel et Prom. 



Merchants: R. Henry; Mercet Saulierc, Touton ct Crous, 

 Weill frcres, Yorke et F'uron. 



Brokers: R. Chaumel, F. Faucher. 



Ha.mhurg. 



An import and commission bu.sine.ss in India-rubber, Gutta- 

 percha, and Balata has been established here under the style 

 Ullraann Gebriider & Co., with a branch in Paris, Ullmann Frcres 

 et Cie. The partners are Jacques Ullmann, J. Ullmann, H. Ham- 

 mer, and E. Eggers (limited partner).
