WEEKLY RUBBER REPORT. 



GUTHRIE & CO., LIMITED, Singapore, report [June 1, 1917]: 

 The weekly rubber auction opened yesterday with a good demand for 

 high-grade rubber, fine pale crepe selling up to $152, and ribbed smoked 

 sheet to $150 per picul. At the continuation of the sale today the demand 

 was maintained, one lot of ribbed smoked sheet fetching $151 i)er picul. 

 The too price for fine pale crepe is the same as last week's, and that for 

 ribbed smoked sheet is $1 down. For palish, brown and dark creites there 

 was a brisk demand at relatively good prices, but inferior lots of smoked 

 sheet were neglected, and a considerable quantity was brought in. L^n- 

 smoked sheet met with a moderate demand, at about last week's prices. Of 

 800 tons cataloged, 453 tons were sold. 

 The following was the course of values:
