GWO, WILSON & STANTON, Limited- 
India Rubber Market Report. 
♦ 
13, Rood Lane, London, E.C. 
March, 6th 1908. 
Fairly large quantities of Plantation Rubber have changed hands 
since the last auction at somewhat improved sates, and the offerings 
to-day were on a much smaller scale than has lately been the case' 
Competition was more general for all grades than it has been for some 
time past. 
In consequence, a large proportion of the sale was disposed of in 
the room at rates showing an irregular advance of from 2d. to 4 d. per 
lb. on last sale quotations. 
The finest lot consisted of some very pale even biscuits from 
Warriapolla estate, which met with brisk competition, and realised 
3 9i to 3/10 per lb. — the highest figures obtained for Plantation Rubber 
since the earlier part of January. 
All grades of loose crepe were again in request, brown and 
medium kinds being especially sought after. Very dark and black block 
and pressed sorts continue to be somewhat neglected. Orders for 
loose scrap were fairly plentiful.
