WEEKLY RUBBER REPORT. 



GUTHRIE & CO.. LIMITED. Singapore, report [January 6, 1919J: 



Following advices of declining prices in the London and American mar- 

 kets, the rubber auction opened on January 2, with a rather weak tone, 

 and although values show a slight imprui-enient, they are generally below 

 the level of business done prior to the auction. On the first day of the 

 sale ribbed smoked sheet sold up to 76 cents and fine pale crepe, for which 

 there was less demand than u-sual, reached 77^ cents, an advance oi Z'A 

 cents on sheet and V2 cent on crepe. These prices were barely maintained 

 as the sale proceeded and the auction closedat /i'A cents f..r -iheet and 

 77 cents for crepe. Brown and good dark crepes were in good demand at 

 prices 2 to 4 cents up. Small quantities of plain smoked and unsmoked 

 sheet were sold. 



The sale occupied the greater part if three days and 922 tons changed 

 hands out of 1,883 tons cataloged. 



The following was the course of values:

THE MARKET FOR COMMERCIAL PAPER. 



In regard to the financial situation. Albert B. Beers, broker in crude 

 rubber and commercial paper, No. 68 William street. New York, advises

 at 55^ to Sa per cent, and those not so well known 6 to 6K> per cent.
