 INDIAN RUBBER MARKET REPORTS. 



13, Rood Lane, London, E. C. July 6th, 1906. 



At to-day's auction, 222 packages of Ceylon and Straits Settle- 

 ments Plantation grown rubber were under offer, of which only 22 

 changed hands in the room. The total weight amounted to about io-| 

 tons, Ceylon contributing 2f and Straits Settlements nearly 8. 



In sympathy with the Para market, demand was again weak for 

 Plantation grades, few orders being in evidence. In consequence, 

 most of the offerings were retired for want of support, but where sales 

 were effected, prices marked from about id. to 2d. per lb. decline on 

 last rates for the finer qualities, and no business was done in Scrap at 

 the auction.
