THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



405 



It will be seen thus that just one-half of the whole was exported 

 direct to New York. But The Indi.\ Rubber World has also 

 reported every month considerable arrivals of Para rubber via 

 Europe, which means that material in the first instance shipped 

 across the Atlantic ultimately is consumed in America. Sucli 

 arrivals during the year ended June 30 aggregated 8,000,000 

 pounds, which permits the following corrected statement of dis- 

 tribution to be made : 



To the United States 50,115,240 



To Europe 34,i56,7o6 



Total 84,271,946 



This indicates 60 per cent, of the total output from Para as 

 ultimately reaching the United States. It should be mentioned, 

 however, that the supplies for Canada are derived from this 

 country. 



Following are the quotations of New York for Para grades, 

 one year ago, one month ago, and July 30 — the current date :

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

 in crude rubber and commercial paper, Xo. 68 William street. 

 New York), advises as follows: "There has been practically no 

 change in the commercial paper situation during July, the best 

 rubber names bring taken at 4!4@4^ per cent., and those not 

 so well known at 5@5/'2 per cent."

 William Wright & Co. report [July i] : 



I-iiie Para. — With a good demand from the trade here, supplemented by 

 a continuance of demand from America (.\merican shipments from here 

 are about 425 tons), a strong advance in prices resulted; in fact, a new 

 record was created, Upriver fine touching 6^. 3 J. [— $1.48] r/cr pound, 

 highest previous price being 5J. gl/jd. [= $1.41]. This advance was doubt- 

 less due partly to speculation, but mainly by trade requirements, manu- 

 facturers on this side having run themselves bare of stock, .^s far as can 

 be seen at ivresent the American demand is likely to continue, and in view 

 of small receipts during the next few months, a further advance in value 

 is quite probaljle. For delivery a good business done, and although a con- 

 siderable Idiscount on spot values lias been offered, there have been ready 

 buyers at the reduction in price right up to the end of the year, which 

 seems to indicate a new high level of prices.
