 30-30'/' cents; upriver fine, 30-31 cents. iMrst latex crepe futures 

 were: October-December, 34 cents; January-June, 38 cents. 

 Ribbed smoked sheet futures were about one cent less than latex. 

 The price lead which upriver fine gained over first latex crepe 

 at the end of July was lost in August, but partially regained m 

 October for the balance of the year.

 dealers, most of whom had withdrawn, fearing greater losses, 

 the September market weakened and spot values dropped to new 

 low records of 24^ cents for first latex crepe ; ribbed smoked 



sheets. Z3'A cents : upriver fine, 25 cents. New York stocks in- 

 creased til 26,00(1 tuns, including considerable mouldy rubber sell- 

 ing at 21K-23 cents. .Arrivals were 2,400 tons less than in Sep- 

 tember. 1919. and continued less than normal to the end of the 

 year, indicating that buying had been restricted in the produc- 

 ing centers and surplus stocks stored by large holders. On Sep- 

 tember 27 .spot prices were: first latex crepe, 25V2-26 cents; 

 ribbed smoked sheets, 23Ki--4,'/, cents ; upriver fine, 25-26 cents.
