 Tara. 



Kanthack & Co. reported November 4 : "The prevailing 

 feature was a quiet sober demand, halting and irregular at 

 times, but also brisk on a few rare occasions, until the falling 

 ofi of the supplies has brought more life into the market. Ow- 

 ing to the fact that supplies are not keeping pace with those of 

 last year, buying has been more active of late at improving 

 prices. It is feared that the revolutionary movement in the 

 Bolivian Acre, started by a few irresponsible Brazilians, will 

 considerably curtail the production of rubber in that district 

 and the same is likely to take place in the Beni region, since 

 the Brazilian government has stopped Bolivian transit and ex- 

 acts its high export duties on the Bolivian rubber passing 

 through Brazilian territory. Some parcels, the property of 

 Europeans, and consigned to merchants in Europe, have al- 

 ready been seized for the sake of the duties." 

 Hamburg. 



To, THE Editor of The India Rubber World: The 

 Hamburg rubber market during the past week was firm in all 

 departments. There were some important transactions due to 

 strong inclinations to buy, and inquiries to fill requirements, 

 affecting all sorts to advantage. There were large orders to 

 buy from the United States, but the greater portion could not 

 be filled on account of the lack of supplies. Prices for Para fine, 

 hard cure, spot and near, advanced to 7.50(87.65 marks, at which 

 prices toward the end of the week no sellers could be found. 

 Mollendo fine was in good demand at 7. 20(07. 25 marks. There 

 were no offers for Manaos scrappy negroheads. The market 

 closes firm with a tendency to advance still further. The sales 

 included :
