Rubber has remained wonderful- ly steady closing prices being slightly over last week's levels in all three markets. Reports from New York state that business on the Exchange has been better and that sales on the 20th, exceeded 2,200 tons, thus beating all records since the spring, whilst Akron is said to regard the outlook us:pro- mising.

In London also there has been good trade buying and increased speculative interest.

In Singapore, on the other hand, little business has been done on ne count of a shortage of free "rub- ber, all available stocks being re- quired for immediate shipment against previously made contracle. Importa of native rubber from the Dutch East Indies have dwindled, though it is not clear to whe-

The tone of the rubber share, market during the week has been firm, with a scarcity of sellers in spite of buyers raising their limits, and business in consequence has been on a small scale. Üla Benuts were done up to 274 cents and Temerlohs at 514 cents.
