[NoTK, — The (litTerence between the receipts at Manaos and the shipments from 

 that port are accounted for chiefly by tlie fact that a certain amount of the rubber 

 involved goes down to Pari and hgures in the direct shipments from that port.] 



The firm of Witt & Co. ceased to exist on June 30, and has been suc-

Edmund SCHi.iiTER & Co. report [July i] the following de- 

 tails of the arrivals of rubber (including Caucho) at Para dur- 

 ing the last two crop years ending June 30 :

The world's visible supply of Para grade on June 30 was :

Price, hard fine 5^. td. 4J. <)%d. ■is. \l'/id. 2s. M%d. y. 9./. 



The figures emphasize the fact [say Messrs. SchlUter] to which we 

 have called attention in a previous circular, viz., the pioportionately 

 large increase in the production of Caucho and the proportionately small 

 one of Par.i. There are probably nowhere, not even in America, suffi- 

 ciently large reserve stores to allow of any accumulation of supplies for 

 some months to come ; hence the value of Para rubber will remain more or 

 less high, the tendency being in favor of a lessened discount for the dis- 

 tant months as we approach them.
