disposition to sell at the close, and importers and dealers would be only 

 too glad to see a substantial reduction in prices, but unless the crop 

 shows a large percentage of increase on last season, with the present — 

 an J likely to be continued — active demand, added to the extremely small 

 stock available and, generally speaking, the paucity of stock held by 

 manufacturers, we must be prepared to see a very high level of values 

 right through the season. Doubtless this may be and is a matter of re- 

 gret, but it is a contingency that must be faced.

To THE Editor OF The India Rubber World: The ten- 

 dency of the inscription sale on November 1 1 was a higher one, 

 in consequence of the latest reports from the English and Pard 

 markets. Participation was general and animated, the whole 

 amount exposed, 384 tons, finding buyers — with the exception 

 of 10 tons — at figures showing an average increase of 40 cen- 

 times, or 4 @, i,% per cent., over estimations. The highest 

 prices were paid for the Upper Congo sorts, which usually are 

 taken for the United States. The principal lots sold were :
