Market Has Few
Features
Quiet the Word Which
Describes It.
The India Rubber Worlds
Monthly Review.

The India Rubber World gives the
following review of the crude rubber
market:
The month of July opened with a
dull market at New York, as is Gus
tomary at the midsummer season of
stocktaking and repairs at factories.
Manufacturers seemed fairly well sup
piled with rubber and in view of the
exceptionally large yield Of Paras for
the last crop season, and the liberal
extent of visible supplies, they have
shown little disposition during the
month to buy beyond immediate re-
quirements. At the same time, i'm
porters as rule have not been press
ing to make sales, and thus the market
has been kept fairly steady. There
has been a considerable volume of
sales in the aggregate Of small lots
changing hands, and business has been
more active when sellers have been
willing to grant concessions. There
was some improvement in the inquiry
for rubber during the third week of
July, but the month ends with a general
ly dull condition of the market. Re
ceipts at Para during the month were
considerably larger than for the first
month of the season last year. but
the Para market is reported steady.
There is still some old Para stock in
New York, but the large surplus un-
covered by the liquidation of an i'm
porting company at the beginning of
the year has almost been liquidated.
Centrals have sold practically as fast
as received at this market, while At
ricans have chiefly been neglected, as
is to be expected when coarse Para de.
clines to the level which has prevailed
lately. There were good offerings al
the last Antwerp sales, and slight
Improvement in prices, but it is un
derstood that very little of the rubber
sold was for American account. TAX
ing the list as whole, prices are al
most without change, compared with
our June report.
