THE MARKET FOR RUBBER SCRAP 

 NEW YORK 



THE RUBBER SCRAP TR.\DE coiitiuucs Utterly Stagnant owing to 

 the continuation of manufacturing inactivity in the rubber in- 

 dustry. There have been no purchases of scrap by either dealers 

 or reclaimers for months. The plants of the latter arc still 

 closed and will not resume production until the demand for rub- 

 ber goods revives in marked degree. This state of affairs effec- 

 tually shuts out the scrap trade for the same indefinite period. 



The feature of the past month in rubber scrap circles was the 

 annual meeting of the Xational Association of Waste Material 

 Dealers. The sessions of the Scrap Rubber Division were chiefly 

 concerned with the effect of the present high railroad freiglit rates 

 as a bar to the free movement of low price scrap when demand 

 revives.

THE MARKET FOR COTTON AND OTHER FABRICS 



A.MKRU AN Cotton. The spot market for middling upland cotton 

 has continued to decline during the pa.st month. With 

 minor fluctuations, quotations ranged from 11.65 cents on March 

 1, to 12.35 cents on March 24, when the market firmed up and 

 prices advanced. The indications are that in the absence of a 

 more general demand the market will continue to be unsettled. 



Egyptian Cotton. Prices have recently shown a great deal 

 of strength, due no doubt to government buying, a prospective 

 sharp reduction in acreage and recent heavy rains which have
