shortage of supply. The theory that the gatherers, who it is 

 admitted have received less money this year than formerly, 

 will, in consequence, work twice as hard, is in the opinion of 

 those best qualified to judge, untenable. Meanwhile operators 

 are, so to speak, ' sitting on the fence," waiting to see whether 

 they should jump up or fall down. Sales on spot are small,

Our correspondent reports a quiet market, for crude rubber, 

 with prospects of an advance on all sorts, and particularly Afri- 

 cans, by the end of summer. 



Antm^erp. 



To THE Editor of The India Rubber World : At yester- 

 day's sale by inscription the tendency was quiet and there was 

 but little demand. Of the 326 tons offered only 130 tons were 

 sold, at prices showing on the average a decline on valuations 

 of 3 to 4 per cent. The lots which were withdrawn are now 

 obtainable at the same conditions, except the two parcels of 

 Haut Congo — Lopori, Nos. 2294 and 2295. which are held at 

 valuations. Most of the qualities usually taken by the United 

 States have been withdrawn unsold. Since the sale a parcel of 

 9465 kilos Congo — Lomami (No. 2293) was taken out of the 

 market at unknown p:ice. The stock on July 9 comprises about 

 803,800 kilograms, including the arrivals per P/ii7i/)pe7>i7/e and 

 Stanleyville, which will be offered in sale by inscription on 

 August 21. C. SCHMID & CO.
