William Wright & Co. report [September i] : 



Fine Para. — The market during the month has been subject to speculative 

 manipulation. The price declined from 9^. 21/21!. to 7.T. grf.. then reacted 

 to 9.?. Sd. [— $2.35]. and has since declined to 7s. lid., wliich was closing 

 value. Of course all these speculative attempts simply frightened tlie 

 trade, who are not likely to buy in any quantity until steadier conditions 

 prevail. The sooner we arrive at such a state the better. America has on 

 the whole been quiet, and takes little interest in near rubber, though there 

 seems to be more demand for the later months of the year.
