SINGAPORE. 

 Guthrie & Co., Ltd.. report [October 6. 1915]: 



Advices received from London during the past few days have indicated 

 a better tone in the rubber market, and this was reflected at the auction 

 held today, prices all round showing substantial improvements. 



Bidding was very brisk, and for many lots there was keen competition. 

 Fine pale crepe was again in exceptional demand, one lot fetching $133, 

 an increase of $4 on last week's best. Fine ribbed smoked sheet was $3 

 better at $132. Plain smoked sheet was wanted, the highest price paid, 

 viz., $125, being $2 up on the week. 



The lower grades shared in the general improvements, all parcels meeting
