GOW, WILSON & STANTON, Limited- 

 India Rubber Market Report. 



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

 18th September, 1908. 



Since the last sale the Market has shown a general improvement, 

 and the quotation for Para has this week touched the highest point 

 recorded for nearly a year. 



There has been a good demand privately for Plantation sorts, and 

 to-day's auction, which was the largest yet held of these descriptions, 

 passed with good competition for most grades, the medium and lower 

 kinds of Crepe being in most request, and making an advance of from 

 2d. to 3d. per lb. on recent quotations. 



Sheet and Biscuits were in rather large supply, and these did not 

 show the same improvement, though the best price realised, viz., 4/3J, 

 was Id. per lb. higher than that of the last sale. 



The highest price of the auction was 4/7 realised by some pale 

 Crepe from the Consolidated Malay Eubber Estates, while a parcel 

 of the same grade from Matang sold at 4/6. 



It will be seen from the figures given below that the shipments 

 from 1st January to middle of August from Ceylon and Malaya 

 amounted to about 1,000 tons, against 1,101 tons for the whole of 

 1907. 



A report on the Trade of the Consular District of Para just issued, 

 contains interesting information regarding the Eubber Industry in 

 Brazil, and indicates the serious effect of the recent low prices on the 

 production from that country.
