WEEKLY BTJBBEH REPORT. 

 GUTHRIE -S CO., LIMITED, Singapore, report [August 1, 1918]: 

 The weekly rubber auction held yesterday and to-day opened very quietly, 

 and in the early stages not more than 48}< cents per pound was obtainable 

 for the best ribbed smoked sheet. Later in the day, however, additional 

 buyers came in. and, though prices for the leading grades show a reduc- 

 tion as compared with last week, there was a good demand at the lower 

 level. The top price for both fine pale crepe and ribbed smoked sheet was 

 SO'/'i cents, being a decline of one cent upon crepe and 2;!. cents upon 

 sheet. Brown and good dark crepes sold readily, but prices do not show- 

 any perceptible improvement. Of 1,170 tons catalogued, 628 tons were sold 

 The following was the course of values:
