GOW, WILSON & STANTON, Limited- 

 India Rubber Market Report. 



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

 16th October, 190*. 



Since the last sale we have had an active market, and a large 

 business has been doing in all grades. As will be seen from the sta- 

 tistics given below, the position has become very strong owing to the 

 smallness of stocks in warehouse in the United States, and much of 

 the buying that has recently been taking place on that side appears to 

 be for immediate requirements. 



Only small supplies of Plantation Rubber were offered at to-day's 

 auction, which met with keen competition ; they were mostly disposed 

 of in the room at advances of from 2d. to 6d. per lb. on last sale rates. 



All grades were in request, particularly Crepe, and the highest 

 price of the sale, viz., 5/-, was realized for some tine pale lots of this 

 from the Consolidated Malay and Jebong Estates.
