RECLAIMED RUBBER 



The demand for reclaimed rubber has not increased notably 

 during the past month and the outlook is problematic, dependent 

 for the most part on the revival of crude ruliber prices. Re- 

 claimers are anticipating better business by October when the 

 steady increase in rubber manufacturing operations will have 

 reached considerable proportions and result in increased call for 

 reclaims, at least of the better grades. Reclaimers in general are 

 operating at about 25 per cent of capacity.

 a better market with buyers coming in mure freely, the coal strike havin;^ 

 come to an end. LInfortunately this regain of activity did not last very

 better level of prices could not be maintained and we close the week at:

There is a certain interest for Congo rubber and bids have been made 

 of fr. 1.50 for Kasai I^xanda II and fr. 2.50 for Prime Black Kasai; these 

 prices have been found too low by the owners and no business resulted 

 so far.

 This week we may call the market firmer, with a gcHjd turnover in spot 

 parcels, especially standard crepe and some lower qualities. The turn- 

 over on tile terminal market did not anwunt to much, buvcrs being afraid 

 to follow upward movement. The market closed rather firm, prices being 

 as follows:

SINGAPORE RUBBER MARKET 



GUTHRIE & CO., Limited, Singapoie, report under date of June 10, 

 1921: 



The rubber market continues in a dull and depressed condition, with 

 gradually declining values. -At the weekly auctions, held yesterday, prices 

 of most grades were ^ cents below the level of last week, the exception 

 being brown crepes which were in short supply. Standard ribbed smoked 

 sheets sold at 25 to 23^'j cents, and a small quantity of Standard pale 

 crepes sold from 27 to 28 cents, a drop of 2]^ to 3 cents on both grades. 

 Off quality sheet was ditf'cult of sale at 3 cents down, while oif latex 

 crepe, altjiough readily disposed of, declined 3Vj to 4 cents in the week. 

 Browns were steady at a cent down. Dark and barky crepes declined 

 heavily, and it is questionable whether it is worth while preparing these 

 grades at [>resent values: 991 tons were catalogued at 403 tons sold. The 

 following is the course of values:
