The quantity of Plantation Rubber brought forward was consider- 

 ably less than during the last few auctions. Bidding generally was 

 strong and prices showed a slight improvement. 



The highest figure was 5/9! for an exceptionally fine parcel of 

 Crepe from the Jebong Estate. Among the Ceylons some particularly 

 good biscuits from Heatherley Estates realized 5/7 1. 



Scrap also was well competed for and brought full prices.
