GOW, WILSON & STANTON, Limited- 

 India Rubber Market Report. 



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

 28th May, 1909. 



Since the last sale an active demand has existed privately, princi- 

 pally for the finer descriptions of Crepe. 



To-day's auction was on a somewhat larger scale than the last, 

 but nearly all kinds came to a strong market. Bidding was animated 

 and a general advance of from 2d. to 4d. per lb. must be recorded. 



The strongest competition was for the finger grades of Crepe, Sheet 

 and Biscuits. 



The highest price of the sale, viz., 5/llf, was paid for a good 

 quantity of Fine Block from the Lanadron Estate, whilst the High- 

 lands and Lowlands Estate made the highest price for Smoked Sheet, 

 viz., 5/11 to 5/ll4j Vallambrosa coming next with 5/11 to 5/lli, and 

 Sekon following with 5/11. 



Finest Crepe sold at 5/10, this figure being obtained for a small 

 lot from the Sagga Estate. 



The lowest grades of Crepe were a little irregular, but Scrap, which 

 was in rather small supply, met with good attention and sold up to 5 0^.
