Saps and Exudations. 



London March 20th, 1907.— At to-day's auction, 428 packages of Ceylon and 

 Malaya Plantation grown rubber were under offer, of which about 329 were sold- 

 The total weight amounted to about 26| tous, Ceylon contributing about 5§, and 

 Malaya over 20| tons. Competition was not quite so general as at the last 

 auction, no doubt to some extent owing to the near approach of the Easter Holidays. 

 Fine block was again in request, a large parcel from Lanadron Estate (Johore) 

 realising from 5s lid to 5s Hid per lb., this being the highest price of the auction. 

 The finest grades of crepe mostly changed hands at about last rates, but the lower 

 kinds were somewhat irregular. Quotations for fine sheet shewed little change, but 

 scrap was rather less enquired for. Plantation Fine To-day.— 5s 7^d to 5s Hid, same 

 period last year, 6s 2|d to6s3|d. Plantation Scrap.— Is 5d to 4s 7d, same period 

 last year, 4s 5d to 5s 5d. Fine hard Para (South American).— 5s, same period last 

 year, 5s 5|dj. Average price of Ceylon and Malaya plantation Rubber 323 packages 

 at 5s 6^ per lb,, against 100 packages at 5s lid per lb. s?me period last year. Parti-
