per annum. Nearly all the cows from which the milk is obtained 

 for this factory are grazed on paspalum, and very few of them are 

 either hand-fed or housed during the winter months. 



Mr. JAS. KING, President of the Tweed Dairymen's Union, 

 says "That to write of the merits of paspalum would require a 

 newspaper." 



In conclusion Mr. Editor, and thanking you in advance, I beg 

 to say, I will be only too pleased to give any of your readers 

 further information if they send postage for reply to, 

 Yours faithfully,

 India Rubber Market Report. 



13, Rood Lane, London, E. C. 



March 15/A, 1907- 



At to-day's auction, 527 packages of Ceylon and Malaya 

 Plantation grown rubber were under offer, of which about 433 

 were sold. The total weight amounted to about 24* tons, Ceylon 

 contributing nearly Q, and Malaya over 18 tons. 



There was a good demand for all descriptions at about last sale 5 

 rates, though biscuits and sheet where, the quality was not quite ^ 

 to the finest, were inclined to be slightly easier. 



Fine crepe was again the chief feature, both in the strip and 

 block form, and the highest figure mentioned was 5/10I, which »a> 

 offered for some very pale block crepe from Linggi Estate. 



A parcel of nice clean Rambong crepe realised 5/<* and ^ 

 was a good enquiry for scrap,
