The July advance has been maintained. During the earlier 

 part of .\ugust, there was no lack of active inquiry for planta- 

 tion rubber, but owing to the firmness of importers, business was 

 more or less restricted. This was specially the case in prime 

 Crepe Latex. In Balata demand was quiet, but importers main- 

 tained quotations. 



-An interesting feature of the recent advance has been the 

 progress dis[5layed at the close of each week, liotwithstanding 

 intermediate fluctuations. Spot prices for fine hard Para were :

 anticipated. 



Liverpool. 



Wn.LiA.M Wright & Co. report [.August 1] : 



Fitic ParA. — Tlie market has been characterized by more trade activity, 

 both here and in America; weak holders seem to have been cleared out. 

 Considerable shipments have again been made to America, and, with small 

 receipts, prices have steadily advanced (in the early part of the advance a 

 large business was done on private terms) from 4s. to As. 8J^d.. closing 

 steady at latter price. The so-called syndicate stock in Brazil is still 

 unsold. It is reported that satisfactory arrangements have been made 

 with the Bank to hold for a further length of time. However, it must 

 be sold some time; until it is out of the way the market will be more or less 

 nervous. Whether the financial difficulties of the Brazilian Aviadores will 

 affect the quantity of the new crop remains to be seen, but the tone of 

 the market at the close indicates a good demand, about As. 5d. to 4s. 6d. 

 Receipts for the month are small, being 1,420 tons, including 260 tons 

 Caucho. against 1.720 tons last month, and 2,330 tons, including S30 tons 

 Caucho, in July, 1910. Deliveries for the month are 1,116 tons, against 

 1.392 tons last month, and 1,544 tons last year.
