March 15 th, r 907. 
At to-day's auction, 527 packages of Ceylon and Malaya 
Plantation grown rubber were under offer, of which about 433

rates, though biscuits and sheet where, the quality tvas not quite up 
to the finest, were inclined to be slightly easier. 
Fine crepe was again the chief feature, both in the strip and 
block form, and the highest figure mentioned was 5/iof, which was 
offered for some very pale block crepe from Linggi Estate.
