—India Rubber W orld, February, 1906. 



THE LONDON RUBBER MARKET. 



London, June 8th.— At to-day's auction, 184 packages of Ceylon and Straits 

 Settlements plantation grown rubber were under offer, of which 123 were sold. The 

 total weight amounted to about 8 tons, Ceylon contributing 3h and Straits Settle- 

 ments 4o. The quiet tone ruling before the holidays was again in evidence. Demand, 

 as at last auction, ran chiefly on the finer kinds, and one or two parcels showing 

 particularly fine quality were well competed for up to 6s. lid. per lb., a price which 

 was paid for some Ceylon biscuits from the Ingoya estate. The figure generally paid 

 for fine biscuits was 6s. Ojd., being a decline of about |d. per lb. on last rates. There 

 were some parcels of crepe of the darker qualities offering, the darkish of which 

 were again rather neglected. For fine scrap competition was good, but the 

 lower kinds lacked attention. Plantation biscuits and sheet to-day. 6s. to 6s, 

 Hd., same period last year, 6s. 5d. to 6s. 9d. Plantation scrap. 4s. 6d. to 5s. 2d., 

 same period last year, 4s. 6d. to 5s. 7Jd. Fine hard Para (South American). 5s. 3d., 

 same period last year, 5s. 8^d. Average price of Ceylon and Straits Settlements 

 plantation rubber.— 123 packages at 5s. 8d. per lb., against 106 packages at 5s. 9Ad. 

 per lb, at last auction.
