THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



September 1, 1921 



There are some spot uppers in this country but holders arc very 

 firm in their idea of price. Sakcllarides, on the other hand, has 

 been neglected excepting the higher grades. There is a 

 large stock of Sakel cotton in this country, and also in Alex- 

 andria, composed almost entirely of medium-grade cotton. 

 Medium-grade Sake] can be bought around 23 cents c. i. f., 

 Boston, ex-duty, but top grades are at a premium of 10 to 

 15 cents, which is out of proportion and indicates the scarcity of 

 very high-grade cotton carrying good staple. There has been a 

 great deal of talk about the so-called short-staple Sakel, but 

 some of these lots were found to be either Pillion cotton or a 

 very poor quality of Sakel such as is sometimes grown in upper 

 Egjpt or on poor land in other districts. The last crop produced 

 a great deal of poor-staple cotton and according to reports the 

 present crop is expected to show somewhat the same out-turn. 



Se.\ Isl.-knd Cotton. The latest report from the Sea Island 

 district indicates a crop of possibly four to five thousand bales 

 this season. It is believed that extra choice could be purchased 

 at 40 cents. 



Arizona Cotton. The Arizona market has been strengthened 

 somewhat by the proposed export of a fair quantity of the carry- 

 over of the last crop. It is believed, however, that No. 2 grade 

 can be bought in fair quantity at 28 to 29 cents. There has been 

 no change from estimates of 30,000 bales for the present crop, 

 but with the carry-over there should be nearly 75,000 bales 

 available for spinners this season. Altogether it would look as 

 though extra staples were in abundant supply while medium

staples such as 1-3/16 to IJ-^-inch cotton might be hard to buy 

 within the next si.x to twelve months. 



Mech.\nical Ducks and Drills. The demand is broadening 

 for these fabrics. The market has been strong and active. 

 Prices have advanced in accordance with the new range of cotton 

 values. 



Rainco.'Vt Fabrics. Business has improved considerably since 

 last month when only two or three fabrics were in demand, 

 while present inquiries cover an extended line. Small quantity 

 buying and repeated orders seem to be the general rule. Price 

 revision is downward. 



Sheetings The market on sheetings, particularly the light 

 weight, is very firm and advancing and deliveries within sixty 

 days are hard to obtain. The mills being comfortably sold for 

 60 days are unwilling to contract beyond that time unless at an 

 advance in present prices. A good fall business is expected. 



TiRK Fabrics. There has been no change in the tire fabric 

 situation, which continues to be unsettled. Buying has been for 

 immediate requirements and prices are governed by the needs of 

 the buyer and the willingness of the holder to sell.
