London, August 31st.— At to-day's auction, 312 packages of Ceylon and 

 Straits Settlements Plantation grown rubber were under offer, of which about 152 

 were sold. The total weight amounted to 15 tons, Ceylon contributing about 4 and 

 Straits Settlements nearly 11. The finest qualities met with fair attention, though 

 the prices offered were frequently below sellers' limits. 5s. 8d. was the ruling price 

 for the best biscuits and sheet, and for finest crepe about M. less was. the current 

 idea. Some excellently prepared rubber was shown by the Landron (Muar) Estate, 

 and comprised 7 cases of strong pressed blocks of very pure quality. The Bukit 

 Rajah Rubber Co. also had 16 full sized cases of choice amber crepe, and for these 

 5s. 8d. was refused. Warriapolla headed the Ceylon list with a price of 5s. 8d. for a 

 small case of well prepared pale biscuits of excellent quality. Plantation fine to-day
