To THE Editor of The India Rubber World : The sales 

 at Antwerp during April were held on the loth and 15th. The 

 former included only 62 tons, mostly Kassai sorts, which ob- 



tained unchanged prices. The latter, in which 490 tons were 

 sold out of 519 tons, showed that there were many wants to be 

 covered and its result may be considered as satisfactory, not 

 only as regards the quantity sold but also as regards prices^ 

 which although somewhat irregular, according to the various 

 qualities, are in the average equal to estimations; this means 

 parity of the March sale. Amongst the principal lots were the 

 following : 



Estimation. Sold.
