but the unsold speculative stock of 3,500 tons still acts as a drag 

 on the market ; the sooner it is cleared out the better for both 

 holders and consumers. Closing value : Hard Fine, 4.s. Srf 

 [$1.07]; Island, 3s. Ud. [95 cents]. Receipts for the month are

R. O. Ahlers & Co. report [December 1] : 



Market has been steady without any alteration of importance. 



R. O. Ahlers & Co. report [December 11, 1911] : 

 Market showed a slightly firmer tendency. Reports from 

 Upriver say that the rainy season has set in rather early this 

 year and that the crops of some rivers, like the Javary and 

 Jurua, must be considered as finished. 



Li'verpool. 

 William Wright & Co. Report [December 1] : 

 Fine Para. — With a dull trade demand the volume of business 

 is small. Market has been subject to speculative manipulation; 

 prices have varied from As. 2;^rf. to As. 5d; supplies are plentiful 

 (considering the large increase in plantation kinds) ; consequently 

 there seems to be no reason at present for any heavy advance. 

 On the other hand, manufacturers seem disposed to buy at about 

 4s. 2d., and, speaking generally, we think they are bare of stock, 



Amsterdam 



JoosTEN & Janssen report [December 16]. 



Owing to keen competition, the lots offered for sale 15th jnst. were sold 

 at very good prices, except about 8,500 pounds Borneo and 1,000 pounds 

 thick Ceylon crepe which remained unsold. For the latex lots, holder is 

 asking equivalent of $1.24J4 per pound. The highest price paid for a lot 

 of palish, part light brown Hevea crepe equalled $1.23J^ per ponnd, and 

 for fine plantation Rambong up to the equivalent of $1.08 was obtained. 

 The next sales will take place on January 19, 1912.
