THE MARKET FOR RUBBER SCRAP. 



NEW YORK. 



HPhere has been hardly any change in the rubber scrap market 

 *■ since a month ago. Manufacturers have been buying in 

 small lots, the interest being centered around boots and shoes 

 and standard auto tires. 



Price changes in the list since last month show a quarter of a 

 cent advance in boots and shoes, a decline of one cent in standard 

 white auto tires and three-eighths in solid truck tires, otherwise 

 the list is unchanged.
