\\'iLLi.\.M Wright & Co. Report [May 1] : 



Fine Para. — The demand throughout the month has been dull; prices, 

 after advancing to 5j. O'Ad. [= $1.23], have since declined to 4j, T/id. 

 l=$1.125j. For the present, the demand from America has subsided, 

 which is not surprising after the recent heavy purchases: shipments from 

 here during the month are about 450 tons, and European manufacturers 

 have adopted a waiting policy. Should a further decline take place a 

 resumption of the demand is quite probable. Closing value: Hard Fine, 

 As. TVid. i =$1.1251; Island, 4i. 7!.<i. [=$1,125.] 



Amsterdam 



Joosten & Janssen report [May 10] : 



As might be expected the prices paid in today's sale showed an average 

 decline of about 81^ per cent, on valuations, which were based on Ss. 2J^(i. 

 for first late.x crepe and 4.J. lOJ. for hard fine Para. In spite of the rela- 

 tively unsettled state of the market there was a very strong demand at the 

 sale and all of the 19,001) kilos offered was sold, with the exception of 

 735 kilos gutta-percha. The average "lecline on the variovis descriptions 

 \^'as about 9 per cent, on Ileveas, 5 per cent, on Ramburgs and 6 per cent, 

 on Castilloas. 



The next sale will take place on June 2.
