In regard to the financial situation, Albert B. Beers (broker 

 in crude rubber and commercial paper. No. 68 William street, 

 New York) advises as follows: "During July the demand for 

 commercial paper has continued very good, both from city and 

 out-of-town banks, but principally out-to-town, the best rubber 

 names ruling at 4(S:4^ per cent., and those not so well known 

 5'/<@5j4 per cent., rates the latter part of the month being 

 rather higher than the first part.''

William Wright & Co. report [July 1] : 



Pine Para. — Owing to labor troubles in London, which naturally affected 

 trade deliveries, combined with some shortage for June delivery, prices 

 during the early part of the month for spot and near delivery advanced 

 from As. 8rf. [$1.14] to As. lO'Ad. [$1,191, but have since reacted to 

 As. 9d. [$1.16] sellers, closing with sellers Upriver, Fine, As. 9d. [$1.19]; 

 Island, As. Zyid. [$1.02]. Naturally forward positions benefited by spot 

 values, although a fairly liberal discount was accepted for distant deliveries. 

 There must still be a considerable accumulation of supplies of plantation 

 grades in London, and once the strike is over we look for a reaction in 

 prices, but we think a drop in values of 2d. to 3d. per pound would mean 

 a resumption of active trade demand, and we would counsel manufacturers 

 to take, at any rate, some advantage of any such decline.
