To THE Editor of The India Rubber World: During 

 the past week very little change has taken place in the Ham- 

 burg market, and the general quiet, for which, principally, the 

 coming holidays were responsible, has not been disturbed. The 

 sales remained within small quantities, and if prices for current 

 sorts could be firmly maintained, it was owing to the fact that 

 absolutely no excess of stock is on hand, and offers are very 

 limited. The prices remained withsut change. Late quota- 

 tions have been — in marks per kilogram :

Lewis & Peat report [May 16] ; 



Pard : — The market continues very dull and business difficult. A 

 fair quantity of hard cure has changed hands on the spot at y. id. for 

 fine and at 2s. \\d. for entrefine, but there are reports of sales at 3^. 

 y^d. to y. i^d, since. For delivery sales have been made at 3^^. id. for 

 June, 3i. i%d. for July, and 3^. li^d. for August, but closing quota- 

 tions are Hd. less, but few sellers. Scrappy negroheads dull at 2s. f,d.

Peruvian ball very firm, and the sales amount to 60 or 70 tons at 2s. 

 A'AJ. to 2s. Sd. for fair to good. Slab neglected at 3>. yid., and no 

 business in fine reported. Small sales of Mollendo at 3^. for fine and at 

 2s. lod. for entrefine. Medium sorts very quiet. No auctions this 

 week.

William Wright & Co. report [May i] : "Fine Para. — 

 Prices during the early part of the month declined, partly 

 owing to an incorrect estimate of crop receipts by one of the 

 large operators; toward the close there is a little more firm- 

 ness, but the demand is dull. If next month's [May] receipts 

 turn out as anticipated we may see a further advance in prices. 

 There has been a fair business both on spot and for delivery at
