GOW, WILSON & STANTON, Limited- 

 India Rubber Market Report. 



13 <fc 23, Rood Lane, London, E.C 



7th August, 1908- 



Since the holidays there has been a good deal of speculative 

 demand evidenced for Para grades, and quotations have in consequence 

 been improved, to-day's value being about l^d. above the lowest quo- 

 tations since the last auction. This improvement, however, has not 

 been reflected to the same extent in Plantation kinds, as the manufac- 

 turing demand continues to be somewhat quiet. 



At to-day's auction buyers were operating with caution and a 

 good part of the offerings were bought in for want of competition. 

 There has, how 7 ever, since been more enquiry privately, and a fair 

 proportion of the taken out lots has been sold at advances. 



4 6 was the highest price in the sale, Warriapolla biscuits again 

 obtainig this distinction, the next highest price was 4/4i for Balkadua 

 crepe. Sheet and Biscuits mostly sold at about 4/1.
