LONDON RUBBER MARKET. 



London, November 23rd, 1906.— At to-day's auction, 446 packages of Ceylon 

 and Straits Settlements plantation grown rubber were under offer, of which about 

 301 were sold. The total weight amounted to about 26J tons, Ceylon contributing 

 about 6^ and Straits Settlements over 20|. There was hardly as much animation 

 in the sale to-day as at the last auction, and prices were frequently a little easier. 

 The highest quotation was made by some block rubber from Lanadron Estate, 

 which brought 5s 9£d per lb. Some very fine Ceylon biscuits from Culloden and 

 Heatherley brought 5s 7d— this being the highest quotation for biscuits. For sheet 

 the best prices was 5s 5|d per lb. No really fine crepe was brought forward.
