Review of the Crude Rubber Market. 



THE last month has shown an advance in crude rubber which 

 has scarcely been equaled in the same brief space of time either 

 in the amount of the advance or its general applicatii n to 

 all grades of rubber. The advance is more notable in view of the 

 fact that this is the season of the year when the output of the 

 Amazon comes to market most liberally. The largest cargo oi 

 ruhlier on record reached New York during the month, in addi- 

 tion to other large supplies, but this fact had no apparent effect 

 in checking the rise in prices. It is asserted that not a pound of 

 the record cargo went into importers stores, the rubber having 

 I. . ii sold in advance of arrival. This having been an exceptii n- 

 ally good winter for the footwear trade undoubtedly has tended 

 to keep rubber prices up. 



Following are the quotations at New York for Para grades,

The total [909 export from the regions mentioned, without 

 reference to the Dutch East Indies, undoubtedly exceeded con- 

 siderably o.ooo.coo pounds, or over 4,000 metric tons — a figure 

 not reached for the Amazon valley until 1866, and not at Manaos 

 until 1882.
