THE MARKET FOR RUBBER SCRAP 



NEW YORK 



"T*!!!-; nibliir scrap market is essentially stagnant. There is a 

 A small amount of business, mainly in boots and shoes, for the 

 current needs of reclaimers. The continued low prices for crude 

 rubber, high freight rates and the general slackness of industry 

 have eliminated to the vanishing point the demand for rubber 

 scrap. 



Exports of rubber scrap for the nine months ended March, 192], 

 total only one-half those for the same period of 1920. although 

 double those for the same months of 1919.

THE MARKET FOR COTTON AND OTHER FABRICS 



NEW YORK 



AMERICAN Cotton. Early in the month the spot market for 

 middling upland cotton took an upward tendency of 50 points, 

 rising on May 2 from 12.40 to 12.90. Steady rise followed, except 

 for a slight drop on the fifth, until 13.05 was reached on the twelfth. 

 Since that time spot prices have fluctuated at somewhat lower 

 levels until 12.50 had been reached on May 24, only 10 points 

 above the starting point of the month. Trade continues very 

 quiet. 



Egyptian Cotton. Prices have been relatively weak for Egyp- 

 tian cotton, due largely to lack of demand in the Alexandria 

 market which is now being affected quite as inuch by the coal 

 situation in England as by the limited buying here. 



Crop advices from Egypt continue to be unsatisfactory. The 

 crop there is having a very late start, which will increase its 

 susceptibility to worm attack. There is much fear that damage 

 from this cause may be very heavy this year, owing to the lifting 

 of the government decree that ginning shall cease after May 1. 



Arizona Cotton. Arizona Pima prices are steady. Demand is 

 very small although spinners are showing a good deal of interest
