THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD

necessitated the resowing of practically all cotton which had 

 been put into the ground. It is reported that the Egyptian 

 Government will buy from farmers up to an amount not to 

 exceed two million cantars, which is practically one-tliird of all 

 the cotton raised in Egj'pt last year. This government buying 

 was started in order to help small cultivators who have been 

 unable to dispose of any of their last season's crop. It is under- 

 stood that the buying is only of a limited quantity from each cul- 

 tivator. Upper Egypts show an advance of about 5« cents a 

 pound from the low, and medium grades are worth 20 cents. 

 Better grades of Sakel are up nearly 10 cents since the first of 

 the month, and medium Sakel is quoted at 29 cents. 



Arizon.\ Cotton. Arizona cottons are selling very slowly and 

 good grades can be bought between 30 and 32 cents. It now seems 

 doulitful if even 50 per cent of last year's acreage will be planted 

 to cotton in the Salt River Valley. 



Se.-\ Isl.\nd Cotton. This has practically ceased to be a mar- 

 ket factor. We merely mention it here to point out that the 

 recent ginning census indicates that less than 2,000 bales will be 

 secured from last year's crop. 



R.Mxco.'KT Fabrics. There has been a little more interest 

 shown in raincoat materials during the past month. Inquiries 

 have been more numerous and more orders have been booked 

 than at this time last month but the situation is far from normal. 



Mechanical Ducks and Drills. This market has been in- 

 active due to the absence of volume buying. Mechanical goods 

 production has not apparently increased during the month which 

 accounts for the quiet ruling conditions of the duck market. 

 Prices, although lower than last month, arc firm and with ad- 

 vancing tendencies. 



Sheetincs. There was small interest shown in this material 

 last month and quotations have been made largely on a nominal 

 basis. Prices have declined since last month. 



Tire Fabrics. There has l>een no improvement in this market 

 nor has there been sufficient inquiry to induce fabric mills to 

 make quotations. Most tire manufacturers are stocked with 

 fabrics purchased last year, which must be absorbed. A hopeful 

 sign, however, is that the large tire manufacturers are balancing 

 their fabric stocks and preparing figures for spring and summer 

 buying. The indications are that real market interest will 

 develop within the next two months.
