GOW, WILSON AND STANTON, LTD., 

 India Rubber Market Report. 



13, Rood Lane, London, E.C. 



January 10th, 1908. 



This, the first sale of the new year, was the largest one that has 

 yet taken place, of plantation rubber,' the quantity exceeding that 

 offered on the 6th December, 1907, by about 4 tons. 



Since the last auction of 1907, the Para market has declined to 

 the extent of about i\d. per lb., and plantation kinds generally in 

 to-day's sale were lower to about the same extent, although in a few 

 cases where the quality was especially fine, some higher prices were 

 recorded. The chief instances of this were a small parcel of the finest 

 crepe that has yet been seen (from the Malacca Rubber Plantations), 

 which realised the highest price of the sale, viz., 4/3 per lb., while some 

 very pale Rangbodde biscuits sold at 4/2 per lb. 



The general price of sheet and biscuits was from 3/8 to 3/8J. 



Considering the quiet state of the market recently, and the heavy 

 offerings, there was a well sustained demand for all grades of plantation 

 rubber.
