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

 in India-rubber, No. 58 William street, New York), advises us 

 as follows : 



" During November the money market has ruled very firm 

 for all classes of loans, with very little demand for commercial 

 paper, even from out-of-town banks, rates being nominally 

 6@7K per cent, according to grade."

To the Editor of The India Rubber World : The re- 

 sults of the rubber sale of October 23 were very satisfactory, the 

 estimations based on the September sale being fully main- 

 tained, and in some cases prices exceeding estimations by 1 per 

 cent. Of 454 tons exposed, 433 found buyers. At the next 

 monthly sale, on November 18, about 502 tons will be offered, 

 some of the larger lots, with their estimations, being : 



78 tons Uele francs 9 75

[Reports received at New York indicate that the results ob- 

 tained at the above sale were very irregular, some lots of the 

 highest grades bringing relatively less than lower grades. There 

 was an average decline from valuations of about 75 centimes 

 per kilogram, or $% to 6 cents per pound. This decline, how- 

 ever, was less than, in some quarters, had been anticipated, 

 with the result that the Antwerp sale had an influence in 

 rendering markets elsewhere more firm.]
