Amsterdam, 



F. JoosTER reports [July 7] : 



The market remained fir.m, but no business took place as owners are 

 asking above market value. 



Fresh arrivals could not be discharged, owing to the strike and conse- 

 quently the quantities offered in this tender sale of 21st instant is smaller 

 than it ought to have been. 



F. JooSTEN reports (July 21] : 



Today's tender sale met with strong competition again, especially for the 

 Hevea lots, for which high prices were paid, all above foreign parity, and 

 in some instances as much as fully 10 per cent, above valuations. 



But of the total of about 19,S00 kiles, 10,000 kiles were sold, whilst the 

 unsold lots mostly were held at prohibitive prices, owners anticipating an 

 advance.
