THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



[July i, 1904. 



Antwerp. 



To the Editor ok The India Rubber World : The values 

 of Pata rubber having declined 2 to 3 pence per pound since 

 our sale in May, the Antwerp sale which took place on June 14 

 showed some decline. The finer grades, especially Kasais, de- 

 clined only 10 @, 20 centimes, whereas Upper Congos — partially 

 sticky and ill conditioned — were 25 @ 50 centimes lower. The 

 average may be calculated at 30 centimes, or about 3 per cent., 

 decline on May values. The quantity sold — 270 tons out of 292 

 offered — is very satisfactory. The principal lots sold were:
