ANTWERP RUBBER MARKET 



■■OSTERRIETH & CO.. .Xntwerp, rtpurt under date of June 3, 1921: 

 The market todav is sligluly lower than a week ago, and the demand and 

 ■volume of business are very small. For distant positions there is as little 

 inquiry as for near, aitd unless there is either an early resumption of 

 buying or an effective curtailment of production it will be difficult to main- 

 tain prices even on their present basis. In this respect it is rather en- 

 couraging to note that for the first time for one year past, the actual 

 deliveries in London exceed the quantity landed, although to a small 

 extent only. The last quotations of the week are:

~May .... .... 



During the past week buyers have shown practically no interest for Congo 

 sorts, the quantity of which has been increased by some 20 tons arrived by 

 the S.S. "Mayumbe," from Belgian Congo. As a matter of interest we may 

 mention the sale of some small lots of red Congo Kassai (barky) at 2.25 to 

 2.75 francs per kilo; for red Congo thimbles there seems to be some interest 

 at about 0.50-franc per kilo. 



Stock today: about 1,856 tons, plantation and Congo. 



SINGAPORE RUBBER MARKET 



GUTHRIE & CO., Limited, Sineapore, report under date of May 12, 

 1921: 



There was a good attendance of buyers at the weekly auctions held yes- 

 terday and to-day, and demand was more active than has been the case for 

 .some time past. _ No sales of standard quality rubber fail to be recorded, 

 sellers withdrawing at sheet 30 cents and crepe 32^ cents. The demand 

 for standard pale crepe has fallen off, and the heavy premium recently 

 paid for this grade has been considerably reduced. F. A. Q. sheet was 

 in better demand and advanced 15^ cents on the week. The feature of the 

 sale was the keen inquiry for off latex crepe, which sold freely from 21 J^ 

 to 32 cents. Browns were in good demand at 1 i^ to 2 cents up, while 

 dark and barky crepes advanced 2 to 4 cents. Values declined towards the 

 close of the sale on weaker advices from London and New York; 863 

 tons were catalogd, and 496 tons sold. The following is the course of 

 values:

PLANTATION RUBBER PRICE FLUCTUATIONS 



The following chart and key were published as a supplement 

 to The World's Rubber Position, May, 1921, showing tlie fluc- 

 tuations in prices of rubber, shipments and stocks : 



KEY TO THE CHART 



{A) Fluctuations in the price of plantation crepe rubber, each 

 horizontal line representing one penny per pound. Zero line 

 commences at lOrf. per pound. 



(B) The World's monthly shipments of plantation, Brazilian 

 and other kinds of rubber from the producing countries, each 

 horizontal line above zero representing 2,000 tons. 



IV. H. Rickinson & Son, London 

 Crkpe Prices, World's Monthly Shipments of Crude Rubber, Amount 

 Retained Monthly in the United States and the United Kingdom. 



(C) Amount of rubber retained monthly in the United States 

 of America, each horizontal line above zero representing 2,000 

 tons. 



(Z>) Amount of rubber retained monthly in the United King- 

 dom, each horizontal line above or below zero representing 2,000 

 tons. 



In studying the chart it will be seen that to effect an improve- 

 ment in the price of rubber either line B must fall or line C 

 rise considerably, and the longer the line D is maintained about 

 its present position the greater must be this fall or rise.
