GOW, WILSON & STANTON, LTD., 
INDIAN RUBBER MARKET REPORTS. 
* 3 . 
Rood Lane, London, E.C. 
August 3rd , 1906>. 
At to-day’s auction, 202 packages of Ceylon and Straits 
Settlements Plantation grown rubber were under offer, of which 
about 162 were sold. The total weight amounted to about ii* 
tons, Ceylon contributing about and Straits Settlements nearly 8 4 . 
Considering the near approach of the holidays and the conse- 
quently small attendance, the demana for the fine quality cultivated 
rubber was fairly satisfactory, though prices were sometimes fraction- 
ally lower than rates ruling at the last auction. 
A few parcels of very fine pale bright biscuits and crape from 
Ceylon were well competed for and realised up to 5/9* per lb., the 
highest price of the Auction. 
Orders for scrap and the lower kinds of crape were again wanting, 
but for the better qualities of the latter grade there was more enquiry 
than at the last Auction.
