THE MARKET FOR RUBBER SCRAP 

 NEW YORK 



"T^HE PREVAILING INACTIVITY noted in the reclaimed rubber 

 *■ market has brought the rubber scrap business well nigh 

 to a full stop. Reclaimers are well stocked with the various 

 grades of scrap and, according to the present outlook, will not 

 be in the market in force for months to come, owing to the 

 general demand of their customers for deferred shipment of 

 goods on order. Such interest as exists is confined to the better 

 grades of scrap, such as boots and shoes, inner tubes and tires.

NOTES ON ACCELERATORS 



In the article under the above caption by Dr. Henry F. 

 Stevens, published in The India Rubber World, August 1, 1920, 

 pages 719-720, the tabulation of figures quoted, although given 

 by Seidl, were not from his own results, but based on experi- 

 mental results of Gottlob. On this point the article should havt 

 referred to the figures as "Some figures of Gottlob recently- 

 quoted by Scidl" in order to be strictly in keeping with the facts.
