R. O. .'Viii.ERS & Co. report [.April 6] : 



The market oscillated slightly in accordance with reports from consuming 

 centers. There are different rumors current about a couvcnio between the 

 states of Amazonas and Para concerning valorization, that a bank may be 

 founded for that purpose with a capital of £6.000.000 t =$29.199.000] : that 

 a loan of .£4.000.000 I =$19,466.0001 will be negotiated in London; and 

 finally that the Banco do Brazil or the federal government may take over 

 the 3,000 tons of the syndicate, keeping them out of the market and going 

 on buying rubber. Which of these rumors deserves any credit remains to 

 be seen.

 William Wright & Co. report [April 1] : 



Fine Para. — The market has been subject to violent speculative manipu- 

 lation, mainly, we think, intended to break the syndicate in Brazil. 

 Latest information, however, is to the effect that the federal government 

 in Brazil has come to the aid of the syndicate and presumably other re- 

 ceivers. The crop is said to be 10 per cent, short. We think America 

 would buy if they could get a good line offered, and there is a con- 

 siderable short interest in the market, so that at present everything 

 points to a further advance, and it looks like being a pretty sharp one. 

 Closing value. — Upriver 6s. 2d. [= $1.50].
