THE RXTBBEE SEASON OF 1910-11. 



The world's production of rubber for the season 1910-11, as. 

 reported in Hecht's statistics, amounted to 79,305 tons, against 

 76,553 tons for the corresponding period of 1909-10. Consump- 

 tion seems to have fallen off to some extent ; the reduction being 

 from 76,026 tons to 74,082 tons. Stocks at the end of June, 1911 

 were 12,563 tons, against 6,998 a year earlier. 



Arrivals in Europe increased from 44,336 to 45,085 tons, while 

 those in America receded from 33,051 to 30,618 tons. 



Deliveries rose in Europe from 42,527 tons to 43,692 tons, while 

 they fell in America from 33,499 tons to 30,390 tons. Hence in. 

 America there were reduced receipts of 2,433 tons, against re- 

 duced deliveries of 3,109 tons.

End of July, 1910, $2.10 to $2.45.

 per steamer Rembrandt will soon be warehoused and will be offered for 

 sale by private treaty. 



Liver pool. 



William Wright & Co. report [September 1] : 



Fine Para. — The market has been firm, but on the whole, quiet, owing 

 to sellers adopting a cautious policy for future delivery. Prices advanced 

 to 4i. Wyid. [$1.21] for hard fine, but have since reacted to As. 9d. [$1.16]; 

 the undertone is firm, and with small receipts we do not anticipate violent 

 fluctuations. The American market is firm, with a fair demand at our 

 parity; shipments from here to New York are larger than last month. 

 Closing value: Hard fine, 4j. 9d. [$1.16]; soft, A,s. Syid. [$1.10]. Receipts 

 are smaller than corresponding month of last year, being 1,500 tons, in- 

 cluding 300 tons caucho, against 1,420 tons last month and 1,870 tons last 

 year, bringing the crop up to date to 3,010 tons, against 4,200 tons last 

 season. Deliveries are 1,284 tons, against 1,116 tons last month, and 499 

 tons last year, totalling 2,400 tons, against 2,043 tons last season. 



Para. 



R. O. Ahlers & Co. report [September 4] : 



These last few days a firmer tendency has manifested itself owing to. 

 freer buying on the part of importers to the United States.
