\Vii,Li.\M Wright & Co.. report [September 2] : 



Fine Para. — The market has continued firm; there has been a good de- 

 mand for spot rubber, principally old condition; a good business done at 

 higher prices, which advanced 3rf. per lb. For forward delivery the near 

 positions have been in good request at advancing rates; up to As. \0d. 

 [$1.18] paid for October-November. Receipts for the new crop July- 

 August are 800 tons in excess of last year, doubtless owing to increased 

 transport facilities. Coupled with the active demand for Plantation, there 

 seems little chance of any decided break in values for the present. Closing 

 value — Upriver fine, spot, 5i. I'/id. [$1.27]; September, Ss. Id. [$1.24]; 

 September-October, As. U'Ad. [$1.21]; Islands fine. As. lO'/id. [$1.19].
