Throughout the session the market displayed a steady under- tone with a good demand for "spot" Rubber. Fair buying interest in futures for trade and speculative accounts was also in evidence, which was induced by optimistic overnight reports received from London and New York,
&
It would appear that accumulation is indicated in view of the fact that the international political outlook is improving, whilst the statistical position of Rubber is strong, speculative holdings being practically negligible.
Towards the close of the market prices for all deliveries advanc- $10bed by 1/8 of a cent due to persistent further buying.
Closing tone was steady.
