NeTV York. 



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

 in crude rubber and commercial paper. No. 68 William street. 

 New York), advises as follows: "The demand for commercial 

 paper has continued good during June, but the supply in the 

 rubber line has been rather limited, and the best names have 

 sold at 4^@4J4 per cent., and those not so well known at 

 S@zy2 per cent. 



Rotterdam. 



The new supply of Congo rubber, mentioned in our last report, 

 has arrived and been placed on the market. The same consisted 

 of about i8,5cx) kilograms Upper Congo and about 2,500 kilo- 

 grams Congo of various grades and was sold on June 2 by public 

 inscription.. There was an active demand, a large number of 

 firms made bids and the competition was keen, all the lots being 

 taken at prices averaging from 3 to 4 per cent, above the-;ippraised 

 value. Two small lots Java plantation rubber, total weight 650 

 kilograms, of good but not quite prime quality, were offered at 

 the same time and found purchasers at about 10 per cent, above 

 their appraised value. A further lot of about 600 kilograms of 

 somewhat inferior quality will be placed on the market on the 9th. 



Batata. — Some Surinam leaf, spot goods, changed hands, and 

 the old crop season can now be considered exhausted. The first 

 small arrivals of the new crop, shipped under contract, are ex- 

 pected within the next few days. Tli^re were no arrivals of 

 Venezuela block. a. knottenbelt & co.

William Wright & Co. report [June i] : 



Fine Para. — With declining receipts and more trade demand, especially 

 from America, a large business has been done at advancing prices, anid the 

 price of fine has advanced fully y/2d. per pound. .Ml present appearances 

 point to a still further advance in values, as the Manaos price is above the 

 parity of price ruling here, with an active demand. New York is also 

 strong and active. Until the receipts of the new crop make themselves felt, 

 there does not seem much likelihood of any decided fall in values.
