AMSTERDAM RUBBER MARKET 



JOOSTEN & JANSSE.N, Arasttrdam. rcjiort, under date of April 29, 

 1921: This week the market was ratJier dull especially for spot parcels, 

 owing to the fact that prices did not fluctuate very much. Only on the 

 termmal market there was a rather big turnover and a good deal of the 

 transactions was done in October — December crepe at prices from about 

 n. .63J-J to F!. .66. The demand for spot sheets seems to be slackening 

 down for the present, while on the other hand there arc still buyers for 

 sheets on future deliveries now. This week closes practically at the same 

 prices as last week, viz.: 



Hevea crepe, V\. .56. Sheets, Fl. .49J/^ on the spot. 



Hcvea crepe, M. .61. Sheets, Fl. ,53 July — September.
