HAMBURG RUBBER MARKET 



EFFEKTIV-ROHGUMMIMAKLER-VEREIN, Hamburg, report, Feb- 

 ruary 12, 1921: „ , . c J 



The week opened very quietly. Eastern market prices were nrm and 

 higher but without immediately affecting' the consumer's market. Toward 

 the middle of the week business became quite active owing to demand from 

 (ierm-Ml consumers, as the drop in forciltn excliauRes made the execution 

 of orders possible. Then prices suddenly advanced and the higher market 

 prevented many transactions, so that the week ended considerably quieter, 

 although the exchanges were in our favor. London also closed very 

 quietly and 'Ad. lower. _ . 



I'.usiness was done in almost all qualities. The prices moved between:
