ANTWERP RUBBER STATISTICS FOR NOVEMBER. 



197,561 



P^ra.. 



Kanthack & Co. report [November 23]:" The tone of the 

 rubber market has undergone quite a marked improvement, 

 particularly during the past week, and it may now be said that 

 buyers, for the moment, at least, have entirely ceased to be in 

 any hesitating mood. The competition amongst them has been 

 unusually keen, in consequense of which an advance has taken 

 place, especially for Islands." 



The same firm reported later [December 4] : " The pace of 

 the recent upward movement was too vigorous to be kept up, and 

 the rise has given place to a slight reaction during the last week 

 although the tone of the market remains steady at the decline.'
