 INDIA RUBBER MARKET REPORT. 



13, Rood Lane, London, E.C. February 2nd, 1906.. 



At to-day's auction, 155 packages of Ceylon and Straits 

 Settlements Plantation grown rubber were offered, 148 of which 

 were sold. The total weight amounted to 8J tons, Ceylon and 

 the Straits Settlements each contributing tons. 



There was a good demand for all kinds, fine Crape, Sheet 

 and Biscuit changing hands at 6/2, and a few dull parcels of 

 Biscuits and Sheet at 6/1 J. Fine Scrap sold from 5 - to 5/3, 

 some lower quality selling down to 3/8. 



The Highland Estate (Straits Settlements) was represented 

 by a fine invoice of washed Sheet amounting to just over 1 ton, 

 which realized 6/2. 



In face of the large receipts from Para, to-day's rates point 

 to there being a strong and increasing demand for all grades, 

 and the tone of the market generally is satisfactory.
