REVIEW OF THE CRUDE RUBBER MARKET. 



TIIK londitidti of the New York market during the 

 nioiitli lias been one of quiet. Tliere have been dajs 

 when no trading was reported, and when rubber has 

 changed hands it has been, as a rule, in small parcels, though 

 the aggregate of such sales has been considerable. Follow- 

 ing the liolida>-, July .), and the midsiininier stocktaking 

 period in many factories, the hope was entertained in the 

 crude rubber trade that buyers would begin to show more 

 interest, and that the resumption of buj'ing on a more liberal 

 scale would stimulate prices. Such did not prove the case, 

 however, until within the closing days of the month, when 

 prices indicated a firmer tendency in the market, and recov- 

 ery from a decline which occurred about the middle of the 

 month. Similar conditions have existed in the Ruropean 

 markets. The late improvement on this side did not devel- 

 op until after the receipt of reports of a better market tone 

 in London and Liverpool. 



In addition to the arrivals from Para noted in detail on 

 another page is to be mentioned the Catiieleiise, at New York, 

 on July 24, with 583,400 pounds of rubber and 12S, 600 pounds 

 of Caucho. The Biiiedict is due on August 3, with 200 tons 

 Rubber. 



Manaos exports (including Caucho) for the first si.x months 

 of igo6 were 10,347,406 kilos ; for the crop year ended June 

 30 exports were 17,699,178 kilos. Receipts at Manaos for
