In regard to the financial situation, .\lbert B. Beers (broker 

 in crude rubber and coniinercial paper, No. 68 William street, 

 New York) advises as follows: "During May there has been 

 only a moderate demand for commercial paper in the rubber 

 line, principally from out-of-town banks, and rates have ruled 

 quite firm at SJ4 @5M Pcr cent, for the best names, and 6@6J4 

 per cent, for those not so well known."

 During the month 40 tons Para have been shipped from Europe to America. 



Li'verpoot: 



W iLLi.x.M Wright & Co. report [May 1, 1913]. 



Fine Para. — There has been more speculative demand; prices declined 

 from 3.5. id. [89 cents! to is. 3d. [79 centsl, then reacted somewhat, finally 

 closing at 3s. Slid. [84 cents] for near position and 3s. SHd- [85 cents] 

 for distant. The undertone is steady in spite of the absence of American 

 demand and large first-hand stocks in Brazil: considering the clemand for 

 this grade, supplies are not too ample, the bulk of the crop increase being 

 in caucho. Receipts this month are 3.540 tons, including 1,430 tons caucho, 

 against 4,265 tons last month and 3,270 tons last year, bringing the crop 

 up to date to 36.975 tons against 33.380 tons last year, showing an increase 

 of 1,190 tons rubber and 2,405 tons caucho. 



Rotterdam 



H.\vi;l.\.\r & De Vries report [May 13]: 



At the sale of May 9 about 40 tons were offered, including 20 tons

 at 5 per cent, below valuations. Inquiry being good, nearly the • whole 

 quantity was sold. 



Amsterdam 



Joosten & Jansen report [April 30] :
