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

 in India-rubber, No. 68 William street. New York), advises us: 



"The same monetary conditions have continued through 

 January as reported for February, rates being easy with a good 

 demand for paper from both city and out-of-town banks, at 4 

 @ 5 per cent, for the best rubber names, and S'A @ ^ pcr cent, 

 for the smaller concerns."

To THE Editor of The India Rubber World: As has 

 already been intimated in your pages our monthly inscription 

 sale on January 27, when about 475 tons out of 502 offered were 

 sold, resulted in a substantial advance over estimation. The 

 average advance was about 3 per cent. The fine Upper Congo 

 sorts realized especially high prices — in some cases 6 and 7 per 

 cent, over the monthly sale of December 16. Since the Janu- 

 ary sale about 59 tons have changed hands at very firm prices. 

 The next large sale will take place on February 22, when about 

 278 tons will be exposed. Among the principal lots, the fol- 

 lowing are especially worth mentioning : 



Valuation. 



28 tons Uele strips francs 10.50

C. SCHMID & CO., SUCCESSEURS. 

 Antwerp, February 14, 1905. 



[Cable reports indicate that the prices realized on February 

 22 exceeded all records. All the offerings found buyers, some 

 lots at 70 centimes [=about 6^ cents] above the valuations 

 based upon the January sale,]
