THE MARKET FOR RUBBER SCRAP 



NEW YORK 



LIKE that fur reclaimed rubber, the demand for rubber scrap is 

 and has been for months practically iion-e.xistcnt. Prices are 

 noiTiinal without purchases, because the reclaiming plants have 

 all gone out of business temporarily. Rubber scrap and re- 

 claimed rul)bers are ab.solutcly dependent on a revival of rubber 

 goods manufacturing in all lines rather than upon tire produc- 

 tion alone.

THE MARKET FOR COTTON AND OTHER FABRICS 



NEW YORK 



' I "HE SPOT M.\RKET for middling upland cotton has fluctuated dnr- 

 ■'■ ing February from between 14.30 cents on the first of the 

 month to 13.20 cents on tlie 23rd, inostly downward, however. A 

 leading authority states that staple cottons are depressed to about 

 the lowest point touched thus far. Absence of demand and desire 

 to sell are the controlling features. 



Egyptian .«iNd Arizona Cottons. In Egyptians good grade 

 uppers can be bought today for 17 cents and medium Sakellarides 

 is worth about 23 cents. Arizona high grades are offered at 32 

 cents and can probably be bought at 30 cents. 



While it is yet early to say anything regarding the coming crop, 

 unless there is a material advance in prices between now and June, 

 the acreage of staples will be very heavily reduced. It is known 

 already that there will be curtailment in this respect in Egypt and 

 .•\rizona. Mississippi and the Carolinas will probably lead the 

 Southern States in acreage reduction.
