REVIEW OF THE COMMERCIAL MARKETS FOR 1910,
RUBBER.
(From Megars, Lewis & Poat's Raport). The year 1910 proved a phenomenal one for Rubbor, and the record price for Fine Para of 9a 64 por lb in November of 1909 was topped by Over 3s per lb. The violent fineteations during the middle months of the year were most ro
Ib in 24 markable, and a movement of 18
per hours was not uncoramon. We opened the year at about 78 6d for Fine Para and the price advanced practically without a check to 12a 6d in April, and even as high as 128 Bd was paid for small quantities.
Plantation Sorts opened at about 7 64 and ranged according to the price of Fine Pare, the highest price touched for Plantation being 128 10d in April.
Towards the end of April the docline set in and continued right to the end of the year, but with several violent fluctuations.
The Brazilian crop was heaviest during Janu- ery, February and March, and the Americans cace into the market early and. bought largely, their trade boing remarkably good, and con- samption increasing by leaps and bounds. Their big parehases both in Brazil and in the home markets, was the principal factor in driving the prico up in the early part of the year, and prae- tically they have been out of the murkot over since. The Continental and English manufac turers, speaking generally, did not believe these high prices could last and hold off, and took in no stock, only buying for prassing requirements on a hand-to-mouth policy. The result was that they found themselves practically without rub- bar at a time when the Brazilian receipts were.
falling and their actual trade requirements in: orassing every day.
Approximately, we may say the Americans bought first and very heavily at under 9s per lb, and the Continent and home trade, greatly helped by ball speculaticů, drove prives up to 118. and 12s.
There is no doubt that those extreme prices did curtail trade in some direction", and whore possible all sorts of mixtures have been resorted. to, but one thing is clear, that for certain par- pomes manufacturers must have fino Para Rub. ber, either wild oc cultivated, whatever the cost, Native collected und wilf rubbors during the boom alsu enjoyed extremely high prices, bat year by year the demand, and consequently the supply, is getting less as manufacturers aro turning their attention to pluutation sorts more and more.
Apropos of the above, there is a very marked tendency in all parts of the world to imitato the Eust, and prepare rabbor in the same way. East and West Africa, Contral and South America are all pending Rubbor in Shoots or Crepo, and much cleaner than formerly, but the difficulties of preparation of the rubber, the transport and control of native collectira. make this very dif- ficult and in many cases more or less impossiblo. As we mentioned in our last annual review, the domand for Plantation Rubbers continues on the increase and the outlook not less bright, The result of the past year's working as more than justifind the hopen we then expressed. Practically all manufacturers are now regular users of plantation rabbers of all grades, and during the past year many who had only taken a littlo are now large and regular buyers, and in many cases are buying Plantation grown instead of the Forest Para from Brazil.
The total output during 1910 of Flautation Rubber from all parts of the world amounted to nearly 8,000 tons and the general 'estimates of the 1911 crop varies from 12,000 to 15,000 tons. One of the futures of the past 12 months has bean the actual rate at each auction of practically every let catalogued, showing that Plantation Rubbor is wanted in whatever quantity it is offered and always saloable at a price. This price, up to now, has heen regulated by the price of Fine (Wild)-Purn, but we venture to predict that in the near futurs tho pries of No.: 1 Plantation Para will be a strong element in regulating the prios of all sorts of rubber.
Altogether the outlook is most cheerful, us the above remarks will show, and we hope to see n much steadier and less speculative market in the article during the coming year-everything points to a good sound trade.

This gasraules, although not altogether satis
fastery, has worked fairly well. New rules have been formulated for regulating this forward delivery business, and we look for a great increase ir the volume of this business in the future.
The above delivery business is quite distinct from the sales of estate outpuls and on the same lines as Fine Hurd Fara in 5, 10, 15 tons or larger lots for certain months' delivery.
Many estates bare sold their outpuls for the coming year at very satisfactory prices, and pro- vided the standard of qualities is kept up the deliveries are going through quite smoothly. It has boon our him for a long time to try
and guido Plantars as to what cure or form
pre- paralion is most wanted and fetches the highest prios on the market. Without denbt Smoked Sheets and Thick Blanket" Crepe are the most sought after and laro always commanded the highest figuro. We can safely recommend the preparation of, firstly, Smoked Sheets (Wilbe
proference), and secondly, Fine Thick Gristly Blanket Crepe. These two grades are by far the most popular, and wo think by adrocating the adoption of those, the standardisation of Plantation Para will gradually be accomplished and result in a much wider market in the future. As to the lower grades, Thick Grielly Brown Crepe and Scrap Crepe have been in excellent demand at all the sales and have always been taken in proference to the Thin Brittle Crepe, of which a much has been sent in the past. The trade generally, have, during the past year, shown that they now look far more to the quality and strength of Plantation Rubher than to "Colour." We strongly recommend planters to try and make their lots as large as possible, and avoid sending odd lots, if they can keep them until they have enough to send 5 or 10 cases minimum.
Fiens Elastica has always sold readily when la Cropo form. The quantity offered has not increased in proportion to Heron, and we opn only repeat that we do not get nearly enough.
