R. HENRY, SUCCESSEUR. 



cAnftverp, 



To riiE Ei)i TOR OF The India Rubber World : At the 

 large sale by inscription which tooit place on May 31 the follow- 

 ing quantities were exposed and sold : 



Congo sorts 546 tons offered 502 tons sold 



Sundries 40 tons offereil 34 tons sold 



Total 



586 tons offered 536 tons sold 



The chief interest was shown for the good conditioned lots, 

 which on the whole found buyers above valuations, whereas 

 badly conditioned and sticky lots could only be sold with a re- 

 duction on prices. The result of the sale is very satisfactory, 

 although prices were rather irregular; the average, however, 

 comes out at valuations. 



At a small sale by inscription which took place on June 2, 19 

 tons out of 27 tons ofltered were sold at unchanged prices. 



The next large sale will be held on June 28, when about 250 

 tons will be offered. Stocks on June 1, about 345 tons.

William Wrk;h r & Co. report [June i] : 



I-'ine Pant. — The market in the early part of the month was active, 

 and prices of Upriver «nd Islands fine advanced to 5/. 91/.; since then 

 the demand has been slow, to day's spot value being t,s. 8}4</. for Up- 

 river, and 5J. SJ^(/. for Islands. There is, however, a strong undercur- 

 rent of strength in the market, as in spite of the fact that recciplt are 

 considerably in excess of the revised estimate, prices have only declined 

 'AJ per pound, very little oflering. The forward market has been 

 quiet ; a good business could have been done, but in the present strong 

 statistical position sellers will only cfler to a limited extent. Any re- 

 sumption of the American demand would mean an immediate rise in 

 values. 



Edmund SchlOter & Co. report [May 31] : 



In the face of the increased supplies from Brazil duiing May it be- 

 comes difficult to see the necessity of again dearer prices, but there is 

 not in Europe any surplus supply, while the accumulation in America is 

 not available for market purposes, being held in reserve for the summer 

 and autumn demand. 



W'm.. J.\s. & Hy. Thomp.shn. 38, Mincing lane, E. C, London, an- 

 nounce that in view of the great increase in the production of India-rub- 

 ber, and notably in Ceylon .ind the Malay States, they have determined 

 to open a department for its sale, which will be placed in charge, on and 

 after July 3, of an expert who for more than 20 years has been actively 

 associated with one of the leading Liverpool brokers in rubber.
