Zeller, Villinger & Co. report [October 21] : 



In every one of our circulars of late we have drawn the attention upon 

 the low level of prices for medium sorts compared with prices for Para 

 grades. In lo-day's auction here the unproportional difference in prices 

 has again been lowered in so far as sale's results turn out at about 6 per 

 cent, above valuations. For a lot black Para rather mixed 14.75 francs 

 [=$2.80] has been paid. Next auction here will take place about the end 

 of next month and include likely about 500 tons. The future of the rub- 

 ber market seems rather uncertain. The near future entirely denends upon 

 the state of the navigation on the Amazon river and its tributaries. If 

 low water continues — as it seems it will do still — present high prices are 

 likely to rule until December or January next, just as it was the case 

 some years ago. However, a reaction later on seems to us unavoidable, 

 though the same may perhaps turn out less sharp than many people may 

 expect at present, for it must b^ borne in mind that consumption of rubber 

 everywhere is very big and still increasing.
