THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



[Jan iarv i, 1910. 



Review of the Crude Rubber Market. 



THE feature of the month has been a heavy decline in 

 prices on all grades, but more particularly on Para sorts. 

 The fall in line Para since one month ago is 8 to 10 

 cents a pound. Good Congo sorts have been better maintained. 

 Guayule rubber, which continues to come forward in good 

 amounts, is quoted higher at the end of the month than at the 

 beginning. 



At the London auction, on December 14, about 24 tons of 

 Plantation from Ceylon were offered, and 130 tons from Malaya. 

 Prices were lower than a fortnight before, but at the drop 

 competition was good and everything was sold. 

 The Latest Quotations. 

 Following are the quotations at New York for Para grades, 

 one year ago, one month ago, and December 30, the current

MILL ROOM COOLING TABLE. 



T -1 1 I E cut relates to an important line of products of The 

 A Ornamental Iron Work Co. (Akron, Ohio), who specialize 

 in metal requirements for rubber factories, having had many 

 years of experience in this branch. Their mill room cooling 

 tables are well constructed, with capacity from 1 to 2 tons made 

 to any size, with two or three decks high. The top and decks 

 are made of wire cloth, through which the air passes, cooling 

 the rubber quickly. The chief feature of these tables is that 

 there is not a part constructed of wood, which often clings to 

 the rubber and is the source of a great deal of trouble, causing 

 defective goods and unsatisfied customers. The value of the 

 table will first be appreciated after these facts have been proved, 

 and the advantages are shown. 



of Alto Jurua, which is one of the three divisions of the federal 

 territory of the Acre. It appears from the Estatutos that the 

 interests with which the association is concerned are principally 

 rubber, sugar, and grazing. It is planned to hold once in two 

 years a congress of rubber workers, farmers and merchants. 

 The headquarters are at Cruzeiro do Sul and the president is 

 Senhor Zeferino da Silva Ramos. A list of thirty-nine mem- 

 bers is published. 



The latest indication of progress in the upper Amazon regions 

 is the establishment of a commercial association in the prefecture 



In a recent pageant presented to represent the develop- 

 ment of Akron, it was a problem to represent in some artistic 

 way the india-rubber industry. The result was the invention of 

 an "india-rubber dance," cleverly executed by Miss Helen Harter. 

 Dressed in a black spangled costume, the dancer jumped to the 

 stage from an electric coupe. In the steps and movements which 

 followed were suggestively represented the resilient and re- 

 bounding properties of india-rubber. The dance attracted con- 

 siderable attention.
