WEEKLY RUBBER REPORT. 

 GUTHRIE & CO., LIMITED, Singapore, report [March 13, 1919]: 

 The weekly rubber auction opened yesterday rather quietly at about 

 last week's level, but the latter part of the day saw considerably increased 

 competition, there being several buyers in the market for early shipment. 

 On the first day fine pale crepe and ribbed smoked sheet both touched 

 77 cents, showing an advance of '/^-cent on the week. At the continua- 

 tion of the sale to-day some lively bidding was witnessed, and fine pale 

 crepe advanced to 77% cents (one fine lot in cases sold for 78 cents) 

 while the same figure was paid for one small lot of prime sheet. Off 

 quality sheet and crepe met with a steady demand at prices about 2 cents 

 up. Clean brown crepes more than maintained their previous value, 

 while dark and bark crepes weakened slightly. The quantity sold was 

 739 tons, out of 1210 tons cataloged.
