 very fine invoice of clean plantation quality, Avhich realised from 4s. 9d. to

London, January 5th, 1906.— At to-day's auction, 233 packages of Ceylon and 

 Straits Settlements Plantation grown rubber were offered, 183 of which were sold. 

 This was a very interesting offering amounting in all to nearly ten tons, Ceylon 

 contributing about 3j tons and the Straits 6£ tons. There were several good sized 

 parcels both of fine washed crepe, sheet and biscuit, an exceptionally attractive one 

 consisting of 33 cases of very fine long sheets cut in strips from the Bukit Rajah Co., 

 for which, however, the owners' idea was not obtainable in the room. In addition 

 to this grade the invoice included 19 packages of other kinds, the total weight 

 amounting to just over two tons. For finest quality 6s. lhd. was the price generally 

 paid, one or two lots realising 6s. lfd., and 2 cases of washed crepe brought 6s. 2d. 

 There were also some nice parcels of scrap which were well competed for, prices 

 ranging from 5s. to 5s. 6|d. for fine qualities down to 3s. 4£d. for the lowest grades 

 Average price of Ceylon and Straits Sttlements plantation rubbber. — 183 packages at
