THE MARKET FOR RUBBER SCRAP 

 NEW YORK 



PRACTICALLY no busiiiess is being done in rubber .scrap of any 

 kind, due to general shutting down of reclaiming for lack of a 

 market for their products. The abnormally low level for crude 

 rubber is apparently not the primary factor producing this con- 

 dition, if it is even a contributing one. since the demand for scrap 



and reclaims is absent in the principal lines where the latter does 

 not replace crude. 



Rubber scrap prices are nominal. Reclaimers regard boots and 

 shoes that are held around 5 to 5}/2 cents with No. 1 auto peel- 

 ings around 4 cents unwarrantably high.

THE MARKET FOR COTTON AND OTHER FABRICS 

 NEW YORK 



AMERICAN Cotton has declined steadily during the past month 

 due to lack of buying interest. On October 1, spot middling 

 uplands was 25 cents compared with 31.2 cents last year. In the 

 absence of mill bu}'ing the market continued weak throughout the 

 month and on October 25 spot middling uplands was quoted 22.5 

 cents compared with 37.4 a year ago. 



Cotton planters arc refusing to sell at the present market and 

 thousands of bales arc going into storage until 30 cents will be 

 realized. 



Arizona Cotton is being offered at approximately hO cents for 

 the good grades. The staple this season is somewhat .shorter than 

 last, which should please the spinners who have been unable to 

 take the very long cotton which was grown during the last two 

 seasons. 



Egyptian Cotton. The market during the past two or three 

 days has reacted somewhat sharply and medium grade Sakel, 

 which recently could have been bought for around 50 cents, is 

 now 6 to 8 cents higher. Medium grade uppers were offered about
