GOW, WILSON & STANTON, Limited- 

 India Rubber Market Report. 



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

 May 8th 1908. 



Since the last auction we have had a decidedly more active 

 market, and prices have advanced for all kinds. 



The offerings to-day were on a larger scale than usual, and a good 

 proportion found buyers in the room at an advance of from 3d. to 5d. 

 per lb. on last sale rates. 



All grades were well competed for, and although a rather large 

 proportion of the sale consisted of medium crepe, this was readily 

 absorbed. 



The highest price of the auction was again realised for a parcel of 

 pale biscuits from Warriapola, which sold at 4/3i per lb., and the 

 highest price for Crepe, viz., 4/ Of per lb., was obtained for some from 

 Consolidated Malay Rubber Estates. 



More particulars have been forthcoming as to the extent of the 

 financial disorganisation in Para, which is hkely to affect Rubber 

 collection up the rivers for some considerable time, and this appears to 

 have had a stimulating effect upon the market. As will be seen from 

 the Para statistics given below, this year's figures for April show a 

 falling off of over 1,000 tons, and nearly 2,000 tons for the total crop 

 to date when compared with the same periods last year. The quanti- 

 ties, however, are still in excess of the two previous years.
