GOW, WILSON & STANTON, Limited- 

 India Rubber Market Report. 



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

 4th September, 1908- 



Since the last auction there has been a steady but rather quiet 

 market. The quotation for Para has shown very little change, but 

 Plantation kinds have been rather more enquired for. 



The quantity on offer at to-day's sale was smaller than that for 

 the corresponding auction last year, several parcels which had been 

 expected being too late to be included. 



There was a fairly good demand for most descriptions at about 

 id. per lb. advance on last auction quotations. The better kinds of 

 Crepe chiefly attracted attention and were well competed for, the 

 highest price in the sale, viz., 4 7 being realised for a pale lot of this 

 grade. The next best price was 4, 6, which was paid for a parcel of 

 Gikiyanakande Worm. Sheet and biscuits sold at from 4 1^ 

 to 4 2^ according to quality, the finest lot — a parcel from Syston Estate 

 — being withdrawn for want of competition. 



The lower grades of Crepe were hardly as strong as at the last 

 sale, but Scrap was more sought after than has lately been the case.
