London, December 6th, 1907.— This was about the largest auction of 

 Plantation Rubber that has yet been held, and the stronger tone of the market was 

 well evidenced by the good competition that was forthcoming for all grades. About 

 one-half of the offerings were disposed of in the room at prices generally showing an 

 advance of from about 4d. to 6d. per lb. on last sale quotations. This is more 

 satisfactory in view of the fact that the Bank Rate remains unchanged, and that 

 the position in America as yet hardly admits of active business in that market. 

 Sheet and Biscuits were in good demand and sold readily at from about 3s. lid. to 4s. 

 4|d. per lb., the latter price being realised for some very fine dark Sheet from 

 Highlands Estate, while the highest price for Biscuits, viz., 4s. 3d, was paid for some 

 from Arapolakande and Glencorse Estates. Crepe was rather more plentiful than 

 other descriptions, and the quotation suffered to some extent in consequence. Some 

 of the palest offered, viz., that from Jebong was withdrawn for higher limits, and 

 the highest price for this grade was 4s. 2|d. paid for a small lot from Arapolakande. 

 Block continues to be less sought after than other kinds, and 66 cases of fine clear 

 amber block from Lanadron Estate were bought in for want of competition. 

 Average price of Ceylon and Malaya Plantation rubber.— To-day 481 pkgs, at 3s. 7£d„ 

 corresponding sale last year 217 pkgs, 5s- 2ftf, Hard Fine Para to-day 3s. Shd„ corre- 



sponding sale last year 5s. 2d.
