The quantity of Plantation Rubber brought forward was consider- 
ably less than during the last few auctions. Bidding generally was 
strong and prices showed a slight improvement. 
The highest figure was 5/9! for an exceptionally fine parcel of 
Crepe from the Jebong Estate. Among the Ceylons some particularly 
good biscuits from Heatherley Estates realized 5/7 f. 
Scrap also was well competed for and brought full prices.
