 India Rubber Market Report. 



13, Rood Lane, London, E.C. 



March, 6th 1908. 



Fairly large quantities of Plantation Rubber have changed hands 

 since the last auction at somewhat improved sates, and the offerings 

 to-day were on a much smaller scale than has lately been the case 

 Competition was more general for all grades than it has been for some 

 time past. 



In consequence, a large proportion of the sale was disposed of in 

 the room at rates showing an irregular advance of from 2d. to 4td. per 

 lb. on last sale quotations. 



The finest lot consisted of some very pale even biscuits from 

 Wamapolla estate, which met with brisk competition, and realised 

 3/9i to 3/10 per lb. — the highest figures obtained for Plantation Rubber 

 since the earlier part of January. 



All grades of loose crepe were again in request, brown and 

 medium kinds being especially sought after. Very dark and black block 

 and pressed sorts continue to be somewhat neglected. Orders for 

 loose scrap were fairly plentiful.
