GOW, WILSON & STANTON, LIMITED— 
India Rubber Market Report. 
13, Rood Lane, London, E.C. 
December 6th, 1907.- 
This was about the largest auction of Plantation Rubber that has 
yet been held, and the stronger tone of the market was well 
evidenced by the good competition that was forthcoming for all 
grades. 
About one half of the offerings were disposed of in the room at 
# prices generally showing an advance of from about 4 d. to 6 d. per lb- 
on last sale quotations. This is more satisfactory in view of the 
fact that the Bank Rate remains unchanged, and that the position 
in America as yet hardly admits of active business in that market. 
Sheet and Biscuits were in good demand and sold readily at 
from about 3/1 1 to 4/4! per lb., the latter price being realised for 
some very fine dark Sheet from Highlands Estate, while the 
highest price for Biscuits, vis., 4/3, was paid for some from 
Arapolakande and Glencorse Estates. 
Crepe was rather more plentiful than other descriptions, and the 
quotation suffered to some extent in corisequence. Some of the 
palest offered, vis., that from Jebong, was withdrawn for higher limits, 
and the highest price for this grade was 4/2! paid for a small lot 
from Arapolakande. ' 
Block continues to be less sought a^ter than other kinds, and 
66 cases of fine clear amber block from Lanadron Estate were 
bought in for want of competition.
