Review of the Crude Rubber Market. 



ly/I.-XRCH weather with all of its uncertainties and sudden 

 ^ '■*• changes, was no more erratic than the March crude rubber 

 market. It was a month of sharp fluctuations and almost daily 

 surprises. During the first two days of the month up river fine 

 sold as high as $1.68@1.70, which were the highest figures of 

 the month. At the end of the first ten days the prices had 

 dropped to $1.59@1.60, and by the twentieth of the month were 

 down as low as $1.50@1.53. On the afternoon of March 22, 

 the price of up river fine suddenly advanced 6d. in the London 

 market. On the twenty-third there was some active bidding 

 in the domestic market and sales were again reported as high 

 as $1.58. This sudden advance, which disturbed market con- 

 ditions and made many manufacturers nervous, was very short- 

 lived, and within twenty-four hours prices again began to slide 

 downward. By the close of the fourth week of the month, prices 

 were again below $1.50, and at the end were in the neighborhood 

 of $1.40 or almost 30 cents below the opening prices. While 

 there has been fairly steady buying throughout the month by 

 actual consumers, the market uncertainties have been such that 

 speculative purchases have been few. Large purchasers have 

 been conservative, but small dealers report a fair demand from 

 day to day buyers. The auction sales, Ceylons in London, March 

 28 and 29, brought out very unsatisfactory prices. Smoked sheets 

 averaged $1.60@1.61, pale crepe, $1.51@1.S2, and biscuits sold 

 as low as $1.48. In this market smoked sheets were quoted as 

 low as $1.59@l-60. The auction sale of Africans in Antwerp 

 earlier in the month was considered fairly successful, the prices 

 obtained being satisfactory. The success of this sale is held re- 

 sponsible for the sudden advance during the fourth week of the 

 month' and the quick decline which followed is attributed to 

 the efforts of the London bear clique, which was determined 

 that the market should not be strong when the Ceylon auction 

 was held. Locally, the market has largely followed the lead of 

 London. At the close of the month trading is restricted to 

 necessity purchases and prices are at the lowest point since 

 March 1.
