THE MARKET FOR RUBBER SCRAP 

 NEW YORK 



THE DEM.\ND for nilibcr scrap has coiitiiuicd almost totally 

 absent but the trade continues hopeful on account of the steady 

 expansion in rubber manufacturing operation. The tire factories 

 of the Akron district are reported to be operating at half 

 capacity. They are not yet actively purchasing renewal of sui>- 

 plies of raw materials which reacts on the reclaimers and dealers 

 in rubber scrap. 



Country holders and people in whose garages scrap tires origi- 

 nate are holding their stocks. Mixed auto tires are quoted at 

 one cent per pound, or less, and at that price, in many instances, 

 are worth less at shipping point than the freight rate.

 continues very quiet.
