THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



[November i, 1908. 



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

 crude rubber and commercial paper, No. 68 William street) ad- 

 vises : 



"While there is no special change in general money market 

 conditions since my report for September, and rubber paper is 

 still selling at 45^@5 per cent, for the best names and S}^@6 per 

 cent, for those not so well known, there is rather less demand, 

 as some banks are dropping out of the market, and a tendency 

 towards firmer rates."

Liverpool, 



WiLLi.^M Weight & Co. report [October i] : 



Fine Para. — There has been a strong demand at generally advancing 

 prices throughout the month, and values at the close are fully 3d. per pound 

 dearer. America has again taken a considerable quantity from this market, 

 and seems likely to take a still further quantity, and with small available 

 supplies in the near future, added to the fact that European manufacturers, 

 generally speaking, are short of stock, a further advance in values seems 

 inevitable: later on, of course, with increased receipts prices will doubtless 

 react, but not to any great extent, as there is a strong undercurrent of 

 buying strength, and to-day anything offering under 4^. per pound would 

 find eager buyers in quantity for any position. Closing value, Upriver 

 AS. 3'/id. [= $1,045^]. 



Edmund Schluter & Co. report [September 30] : 



Para grades have been in good demand throughout the month, and prices 

 have gradually advanced. The opinion expressed in our last circular that 

 prices of near delivery rubber might advance was correct, but the easier 

 tendency for the more distant positions has not made itself felt yet. The 



demand at present exceeds the previous estimates of requirements based on 

 manufacturers' advices who reported poor business in Europe, and only 

 moderately good in America. With increased requirements the chances of 

 much of a reaction in prices becomes smaller; at the same time crop reports 

 continue favorable, and at one time or other must tell on the markets — 

 possibly in the not remote future.
