BISCUITS AND Sheets. — ’These two forms may now be classed 
together and the quantity coming forward has not fallen off to any 
extent. Fine well prepared lots sell very well and fetch as much 
as fine Crepe, but there have been ipany parcels dark unsightly and 
resinous. These have been very hard to sell and as much as 4 d. to 
6 d. has been the difference between fine lots and inferior looking 
ones. We have had some beautiful though ‘small lots of Ceara 
biscuits and in many instances they fetched the top price. The 
fine large amber sheets, hand or machine rolled, have always been 
easily saleable. No lots of smoked of any consequence have been 
offered. , * 
Crepe. — Lately fine pale No. 1 has been realizing id. and 2d. per 
lb. above the price for ordinary biscuits or sheets. Scrap Crepe is 
selling very well and fetches a better price than the old hand-made 
scrap. Chip also has now found its level, manufacturers having 
found that it dees not contain foreign matter, as from appearances 
one might be led to think. 
Worms. — This form of preparation *has sold well, and extremely 
good prices have been realized for all fine pale parcels. 
Block. — Has sold readily but very little has come on to the market 
except from Lanadron Estate. There is no doubt that clear block 
rubber even in texture and quality will always meet a ready demand 
at very full prices. 
Castilloa. — Not much has been seen on the market during the 
year, and the few lots sold have not been all that could be desired 
as regards preparation. Fine pale clear in »bi scuffs, sheets or blocks 
would sell well. We have not^seen this sort in Crepe form. 
Rambong. — This Rubber has also been in small supply, and the 
few- small lots, especially good clean Crepe, have sold well. This 
form is better than the old lumps, ahd with a fair supply would 
command a ready sale at a high price.
