THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD. 



I December 1, 1910. 



Review of the Crude Rubber Market. 



Rl HllKK prices for most grades arc higher than a month 

 ago— for some grades considerably so. That is all that can 

 be reported here. Of course, the question of chief interest 

 in the trade is what the future is to be, but prophecy is beyond 

 the province of the well seasoned trade journal, which The Indi.\ 

 Rubber World is trying to become. There are, as always, "bulls" 

 and "bears" in the rubber selling market. On the one hand it is 

 lield that the tire manufacturers have been buying quietly at the 

 favorable prices which have ruled of late, in view of the assured 

 demand for rubber for their requirements next season. On the 

 other hand, the idea obtains that buyers have refrained from plac- 

 ing orders, with the probable effect of giving a boost to prices 

 when thev become more active in placing orders. At any rate, 

 prices have been going up, at a time when the output from the 

 Amazon is on the eve of reaching its largest proportions during 

 ihe year. The stiflfening of prices has been assisted by the higher 

 average of results at the last Antwerp than at the October sale.

November 15. — Tlie amount listed for this auction w-as about 

 40 tons less than that offered a fortnight ago. The sale opened 

 with good bidding, demand being fairly general for all descrip- 

 tions. Prices showed an advance of about 4d. per pound, at 

 first, but as the sale proceeded the tone was distinctly stronger 

 and the advance in some instances amounts to as much as 8d. as 

 compared with previous quotations. So far the highest price 

 realized is 6s. 7%d. [=$1.2134] for Highlands smoked sheet, 

 other parcels of this grade selling from 6s. 4^id. to 6.?. 7'/id. and 

 sheets and biscuits after opening at 5.r. lOrf. are selling up to 6s. 

 2d. and crepe about the same price. Owing to the bank holiday 

 on December 27, it has been arranged that the next auctions shall 

 take place as follows: November 29, December 13, December 20, 

 and January 3, provided that the shipments arriving between De- 

 cember 13 and 20 are large enough. — Gozv, Wilson &■ Stanton,
