GOW, WILSON & STANTON, LIMITED— 
India Rubber Market Report. 
13, Rood Lane, London, E.C. 
April I 2 tk , 1907. 
At to-day's auction, 557 packages of Ceylon apd Malaya Plantation 
grown rubber were under offer, of which about 240 were sold. The 
total weight amounted to over 26 tons, Ceylon contributing about 
9f, and Malaya nearly i6£ tons. 
In sympathy with the Para market, the auction was characterised 
by rather slow competition, and prices generally marked a slight 
decline on last sale rates. Where bidding was under Merchants* 
ideas, the offerings were generally withdrawn for private treaty, 
and in these cases, as a rule, more money was forthcoming after 
the auction. None of the finest quality of Crepe changed hands. 
Another exceptionally fine lot of Rangbodde Ceara biscuits was 
well competed for and realised the highest price in the room, viz ., 
5/10! per lb. 
Scrap was a little irregular during the sale, but afterwards there 
was a better demand for this grade privately.
