Liverpool. 



William Wright & Co. report [July i] : 



Fine Pard. — The demand has been dull and prices have had a declin- 

 ing tendency, closing 1 %d, per pound lower on spot and id. per pound 

 forward. The estimates of receipts for June have not been realized, 

 but will be made up during this month, and the prospects of a liberal 

 supply of rubber for next crop are good. The sooner we reach a lower 

 level of values the better for the trade.
