September 4. — Plantation kinds have been more inquired for 

 than during the previous fortnight. At to-day's auctions there 

 was a fairly good demand for most plantation sorts at about 

 yi penny [^i cent] advance on last auction quotations. The 

 highest price, 4s. yd. [=$i.ii><] was realized for very fine pale 

 crepe from Malaya. Gikiyanakande estate (Ceylon) very fine 

 pale worm fetched 4s. 6d. [=$1.09^]. Hard fine Para (from 

 Brazil) sold as high as 4s. o}id. [=98^ cents]. One year ago 

 the highest quotation for plantation was 5.S. 7^rf. [=$i.37/i] and 

 for Brazilian Para 4s. GlAd. [=:$!. loK]- Decline in plantation 

 during the year, 19 per cent. ; decline in Para, about 10 per cent.

In regard to the financial situation Albert B. Beers, broker in 

 crude rubber and commercial paper, No. 68 William street. New 

 York, advises : 



"During September the general money market conditions have 

 changed but little from the position of the past three months, 

 and there has continued a fair demand for rubber paper at 4!^(Ss 

 per cent, for the best names and 5j4(a;'6 per cent, for those not 

 so well known. While rates may not change materially for 

 the next month or two, the demand is likely to fall off somewhat, 

 as usual, at this time of year."

Liv^rpool, 



Edmund Schluter & Co. report [August 31]: 



Para Rubber. — The market during August was moderately active. The 

 outstanding feature has been the scarcity of available supplies of fine rubber, 

 and with the continued demand from the United States, prices have advanced 

 at the close. Prospects at present are in favor of no considerable fluctua- 

 tions. The arrivals fl-om Brazil at the consuming markets during September 

 are an approximately known and not very large quantity, and the value of 

 Para rubber in warehouse is therefore likely to be maintained, or again 

 slightly advanced. On the other hand, the actual arrivals in Brazil this 

 month and next may make themselves felt and expressed during the second 

 half of the month in an easy tendency for the more distant deliveries.
