 India Rubber Market Report. 



13, Rood Lane, London, E. C. 

 June 8t/z, 1906. 



At to-day's auction, 184 packages of Ceylon and Straits Settle- 

 ments Plantation grown rubber were under offer, of which 123 were 

 sold. The total weight amounted to about 8 tons, Ceylon contri- 

 buting 3^ and Straits Settlements 4^. 



The quiet tone ruling before the holidays was again in evidence. 

 Demand, as at last auction, ran chiefly on the finer kinds, and one 

 or two parcels showing particularly fine quality were well competed 

 for up to 6/1 4 per lb., a price which was paid for some Ceylon bis- 

 cuits from the Ingoya Estate. The figure generally paid for fine 

 biscuits was 6/0J, being a decline of about \d. per lb. on last rates. 



There were some parcels of Crape of the darker qualities offering, 

 the darkish of which were again rather neglected. For Fine Scrap 

 competition was good, but the lower kinds lacked attention.
