GOW, WILSON & STANTON, Limited— 
India Rubber Market Report For The Year 1909. 
13 & 23, Rood Lane, London, E.G. 
%6ih February , 1909. 
Since our last there has been a slight improvement in the market, 
but prices have given way during the past few days and a more quiet 
tone has set in, the quotation for Para being id. per lb. lower than 
the last auction. 
The offerings to-day were on a very small scale, a large consign- 
ment in the 1 Theseus ” arriving too late to be included. 
On the whole rates were hardly up to those established a fortnight 
ago, Scrap especially being rather lower. The best price realised was 
5/9f for a very pale lot of Ivondasale Sheet. Warripolla Biscuits sold a 
o/9i and PSE Crepe at 5/7i per lb. 
It is satisfactory to note that, in spite of rather quieter demand, 
the average for Plantation Rubber remains unchanged.
