EDMUxn ScHLi'TKR iS: Co. report [January 31] : 

 If prices appear unduly high in face of the large visible supply 

 it must be taken into consideration that the latter is exi>ected to 

 show a considerable reduction during February April. Our advices 

 from Brazil for some time past have been that the ultimate result 

 of the crop will not exceed its predecessor to a very large extent. 

 We therefore continue to believe that it will be good policy to 

 profit by any temporary reaction. 



Rubber Scrap Prices.

 load lots in cents per poiitfd — show a slight advance as

A report reaches New York from Russia that the long discussed 

 export duty on old rubber shoes is to become effective on March 

 I, hut confirmation cannot be had among the best informed sources 

 on this side of the Atlantic. The rate mentioned — /"lo per ton — 

 would figure out about 2J cents per pound in American money.
