Review of the Crude Rubber Market. 



PRICES quoted for all grades of rubber listed on this page 

 have declined materially since our last report, but it is to 

 be noted that all quotations are referred to in the trade 

 as nominal, and that anything like fixed conditions do not ex- 

 ist in the trade. It is asserted that there is no buying on a 

 large scale, manufacturers being disposed, as far as possible, 

 to remain out of the market. In the London market the decline 

 in rubber is attributed to lack of buying orders in America, 

 while on this side of the Atlantic the condition is charged to 

 manipulation in England.
