Bordeaux. 



Recent advices from Bordeaux indicate that rubber is arriving 

 on a smaller scale than was the case a year ago. May arrivals 

 amounted to 148,250 kilos., as compared with 205,500 kilos, for 

 the corresponding month of 1910. Somewhat closer figures 

 mark the returns for June, which sliow 159,120 kilos., against 

 170,705 kilos, for June, 1910. 



Business had been quiet in African rubbers, the prices at which 

 importers held their stocks being considered too high in propor- 

 tion to those of Para descriptions. The position of the latter 

 had impeded important transactions in other kinds. 



BORDEAUX RUBBER IMPORTATIONS. 



Comparative results covering the first six months of this and 

 last year are as follows :

Soudan sorts and Conakry niggers constituted the largest pro- 

 portion of recent imports. 



Havre. 

 Importers have felt encouraged by the result of the July rubber 

 auction, at which 61,618 kilos, were sold out of 62,739 kilos, 

 offered. The average advance in price obtained over previous 

 auction representeri 7.58 per cent. For the .\ugust sale a quantity 

 of about 80 tons had been declared. A fresh advance of 5@ 

 8 per cent, was established. 



Antwerp. 



During the interval between the June and July sales, prices 

 had stiffened ; these conditions being reflected in the advance 

 w^hich took place at the latter, which equalled 10.10 per cent, on 

 Congo descriptions and 14.20 per cent, on plantation rubbers. 

 This movement was in sympathy with the course of the Havre 

 July auction. 



Out of 460,475 kilos, offered, 350,501 kilos, were sold, the 

 separate quantities being:

Amsterdam. 

 About one-half of the rubber offered at the July sales met with 

 ready sale at higher prices. Hcvea plantation rubber commanded 

 an advance upon valuations of 10 per cent. The relatively large 

 proportion being unsold is attributed to the high prices asked by 

 importers. The next sale will take place on September 29. 



F. Joosten reports [August 15] : 



Our market remained very firm, with good demand. Several, partly 

 important, lots were sold at good prices. Fine Hcvea grades are very 

 scarce, but some newly arrived Rambong lots are up for sale. 



Hamburg. 

 Latest advices report a firm market, showing but little change. 

 Buyers are gradually advancing their limits.
