GOW, WILSON & STANTON, Limited- 

 India Rubber Market Report For The Year 1909. 



13 & 23, Eood Lane, London, E.C. 

 26th February, 1909. 



Since our last there has been a slight improvement in the market, 

 but prices have given way during the past few days and a more quiet 

 tone has set in, the quotation for Para being id. per lb. lower than 

 the last auction. 



The offerings to-day were on a very small scale, a large consign- 

 ment in the " Theseus " arriving too late to be included. 



On the whole rates were hardly up to those established a fortnight 

 ago, Scrap especially being rather lower. The best price realised was 

 5/9f for a very pale lot of Kondasale Sheet. Warripolla Biscuits sold a 

 5/9i and P S E Crepe at 5/7i per lb. 



It is satisfactory to note that, in spite of rather quieter demand, 

 the average for Plantation Rubber remains unchanged.
