Rubber Market, “

Messrs. Zorn & Leigh-Hunt's, mid-weekly report on the rubber ehare market and list of Quota- tions, dated London, February 20th, enye After the troubles of the last few weeke, the market has, naturally enough, awaited the earrent, plantation auolions with a certain amount of nervɔQ8: ness, as in some quarters it was predicted that a "break" in prices would make itself manifest. However, nothing of the sort has occurred. Values are about 20. per lb. down compared with a fortnight ago, but this merely roprosents the shrinkage in quota tion which has occurred in the interval, and the mapidity with which large parcels have been absorbed during the first day of

Public Auction.
