Para Arrivals. 

 While during the last five jxars, rubber prices have witnessed 

 remarkable fluctuations, and the considerably augmented produc- 

 tion of plantation rubber has altered the conditions of supply, 

 arrivals at Para have kept at a relatively steady level. As will 

 be seen by the anne.xed table the figures for the years ending 

 June 30, 1907-08 to 1910-11 were, respectively, 36,650, 38,065, 

 39,165 and 37,530 tons; the yearly average being thus 37,852 tons. 

 The total for the year 1911-1912 just closed has been 38,530 tons, 

 or about two per cent, above the average for the preceding four 

 years. 



Apportioning the years' receipts into quarters the following 

 results will be found:

October 1 to December 31, 1911 10.370 



January 1 to March 31, 1912 14,110 



April 1 to June 28, 1912 8,420 



Total 38,530 



The largest proportion was thus as usual in the first three 

 months of the calendar year. 



From the figures quoted it will be seen that Brazil, instead of 

 diminishing its production of rubber, as has been asserted to be 

 the case, has fully maintained it, even registering a slight increase.

\\ iLi.iA.M Wright & Co. report [June 1] : 



Fine Pard. — Demand throughout the month has been dull, but prices 

 have remained very steady, the principal operators acting cautiously: 

 therefore any general resumption of trade inquiry would mean an increase 

 in values. It must be remembered that we are now in the months of 

 small receipts, especially for hard cure, and that as a rule the American 

 demand for autumn trade requirements begins to materialize in July, 

 a- d it is an undoubted fact that there is very little "free rubber" offering. 

 .Supplies of plantation will doubtless be plentiful, but this will all be 

 wanted either for direct orders or on orders to cover. Closing value:
