THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



[January i, 1904. 



Our stocks amount to 310 tons. Our next sale will take 



place toward the end of January and amount to 670 tons. 



C. SCHMID & CO. 

 Antwerp, December 16, 1003. 



[The buying on American account was very much smaller 



than usual. The result of the December inscription brings the 



total sales at Antwerp for 1903 higher than in any preceding 



year. The receipts at Antwerp during the year have been only 



slightly smaller than in 1901 — the year of the largest receipts 



in the past — and stocks are unusually small. It would appear 



that receipts from the Congo are again increasing in size.]
