London, July 6th.— At to-day's auction, 222 packages of Ceylon and Straits 

 Settlements plantation grown rubber were under offer, of which only 22 changed 

 hands in the room. The total weight amounted to about 10| tons, Ceylon contri- 

 buting 2| and Straits Settlements nearly 8. In sympathy with the Para market, 

 demand was again weak for plantation grades, few orders being in evidence. In 

 consequence, most of the offerings were retired for want of support, but where sales 

 were effected, prices marked from about Id. to 2d. per lb. decline on last rates for 

 the finer qualities, and no business was done in scrap at the auction. Plantation 

 fine to-day 5s. 8d. to 5s. 9|d., same period last year, 6s. 3d. to 6s. 4£d. Plantation 

 scrap value about 4s. 6d. to 5s., same period last year, 4s. 3kl. to 5s. 5£d. Fine hard 

 Para (South American) 5s., same period last year, 5s. 6ki. Average price of Ceylon 

 and Straits Settlements plantation rubber.— 22 packages at 5s. 8d. per lb., against 

 92 packages at 5s. 3|d per lb. at last auction.
