GOW, WILSON & STANTON, Limited— 
India Rubber Market Report. 
13 & 23, Rood Lane, London, E.C 
7th August, 1908- 
Since, the holidays there has been a good deal of speculative 
demand evidenced for Para grades, and quotations have in consequence 
been improved, to-day’s value being about lid. above the lowest quo- 
tations since the last auction. This improvement, howeyer, has not 
been reflected to the same extent in Plantation kinds, as the manufac- 
turing demand continues to be somewhat quiet. 
At to-day’s auction buyers were operating with caution and a 
good part of the offerings were bought in for want of competition. 
There has, however, since been more enquiry privately, and a fair 
proportion of the taken out lots has been sold at advances. 
4/6 was the highest price in the sale, Warriapolla biscuits again 
obtainig this distinction, the next highest price was 4/4* for Balkadua 
crepe. Sheet and Biscuits mostly sold at about 4 1,
