Hi 



Biscuits and SHEETS. — These two forms may now be classed 

 together and the quantity coming forward has not fallen off to any 

 extent. Fine well prepared lots sell very well and fetch as much 

 as fine Crepe, but there have been many parcels dark unsightly and 

 resinous. These have been very hard to sell and as much as 4^. to 

 6W. has been the difference between fine lots and inferior looking 

 ones. We have had some beautiful though small lots of Ceara 

 biscuits and in many instances they fetched the top price. The 

 fine large amber sheets, hand or machine rolled, have always been 

 easily saleable. No lots of smoked of any consequence have been 

 offered. 



Crepe.— Lately fine pale No. 1 has been realizing id. and 2d. per 

 lb. above the price for ordinary biscuits or sheets. Scrap Crepe is 

 selling very well and fetches a better price than the old hand-made 

 scrap. Chip also has now found its level, manufacturers having 

 found that it dees not contain foreign matter, as from appearances 

 one might be led to think. 



Worms.— This form of preparation has sold well, and extremely 

 good prices have been realized for all fine pale parcels. 



Block.— Has sold readily but very little has come on to the market 

 except from Lanadron Estate. There is no doubt that clear block 

 rubber even in texture and quality will always meet a ready demand 

 at very full prices. 



CASTILLOA.— Not much has been seen on the market during the 

 year, and the few lots sold have not been all that could be desired 

 as regards preparation. Fine pale clear in biscuits, sheets or blocks 

 would sell well. We have not seen this sort in Crepe form. 

 f Rambong.— This Rubber has also been in small supply, and the 

 ew small lots, especially good clean Crepe, have sold well. I his 

 form is better than the old lumps, and with a fair supply would 

 command a ready sale at a high price.
