THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD. 



[August 1, 1911. 



Review of the Crude Rubber Market. 



WITH prices fluctuating slightly, but showing generally a 

 receding tendency, in sympathy with the stagnant con- 

 dition of business, the market for crude rubber is de- 

 cidedly quiet. Efforts to promote an advance by those interested 

 in higher figures, are counteracted by the large stocks on hand, 

 which are regarded by consumers as a guarantee of still lower 

 figures in the near future. The lack of orders at many mills 

 leaves them at liberty to hold off for the anticipated decline. 



From London an advancing market is reported, with prices 

 steady at 4s. 9d. for Upriver fine. At this figure, large pur- 

 chasers are not anxious to buy, and no business of importance 

 was recorded. 



The scrap-rubber market may be described as weak with few 

 new orders and a downward tendency in buying and selling 

 prices.

In regard to the financial situation, Albert B. Beers (broker 

 in crude rubber and commercial paper. No. 68 William street. 

 New York), advises as follows: "There is really no change in 

 the commercial paper situation since my report a month ago, a 

 fairly good demand continuing for the best rubber names at 

 4®4j2 per cent., and those not so well known 5® 5 5-2 per cent."
