HAMBURG RUBBER MARKET 



EFFEKTIV-UOHCUMMIMAKLER-VEREIN, Hamburs, report, under 

 date of January 22, 1921: 



The v.eek e!ided January 22 was guiet, as consumers held back in the 

 expectation that the mark would rise in value. Limited quantities of Para, 

 medium, and rlantatinn grades changed hands. Offers of best crepe are 

 fairly snail an'l holders arc firm. The Oriental markets were firm, owing 

 to change in the ru.|jee rate and there were sellers at increased prices 

 only .\rrivals were normal and mostly disposed of so that there was 

 no increase in stocks worth mentioning.
