THE INDIA RUBBER ^VORLD 



[September i, 1901. 



Liverpool. 



MAR1US& Levy report [August 15]: " There.is not the slight- 

 est doubt but that the next [Pari] crop will be short by about 

 20 per cent., the discrepancies all round amounting to some- 

 thing like 4000 to 5000 tons, and the present weakness of the 

 market will, in our opinion, not be of long duration. Our 

 senior partner, who has just returned from a year's sojourn in 

 Amazonas, strongly confirms our views. Last year the Pard 

 and Peruvian stocks were, on August i, 1489 tons, and price 

 for Fine was 4/— @ A/o'A- This year the stock was 932 tons, 

 and price of Fines/? @ 3/7;+, and meanwhile the consumption 

 has increased nearly 6 per cent.. Another unexpected fall in 

 the receipts is in the Bolivian kinds, business having been ex- 

 ceedingly bad on the rivers Madeira, Beni, Acre, etc., com- 

 bined with the late heavy losses and disasters in the trade. It 

 is apparent that there is no inducement for merchants to send 

 goods and foodstufis to that district." This firm is still of the 

 opinion that the price of 4/6 is likely to be attained before the 

 end of the year.
