London, May 25th.— At to-days auction, 159 packages of Ceylon and Straits 

 Settlements Plantation grown rubber were under offer. The total weight amounted 

 to nearly 10 tons, Ceylon contributing nearly 1 and Straits Settlements 8j. Since 

 the last auction the market has maintained the quiet tone then prevailing, and 

 except for fine biscuit and sheet qualities, demand was not very keen, and conse- 

 quently the scrap grades were in many cases somewhat neglected, and here and 

 there showed a decline on last rates. The bulk of the offerings was from the Straits 

 and included one or two large invoices. Amogst these were several parcels of crepe, 

 and the darker lots proved difficult to quit, buyers being prejudiced against the 

 darker colours. For fine pale crepe, however, there is a strong demand, and a 

 parcel of this to-day realised \d. per lb. more than fine sheet. A small lot of very 

 fine pressed worm rubber was also keenly competed for and sold at 6s. 2|d. per lb.
