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

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



" There is practically nothing to add to the report a month 

 ago regarding the market for commercial paper, which has 

 ruled very steady through May, with a fairly good demand for 

 the best rubber names at 4 @ 5 per cent, and the smaller con- 

 cerns 5 @ 6 per cent."
