THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



Ijc had as the supply has been sold out lo the end of 1920. All 

 yrades oi cotton and cotton duck used in the manufacture of 

 pneumatics have gone up from 35 to 40 per cent in the last six 

 nionlhs and the cotton used in cord tires now costs more than 

 I he rubber. Even vv'ith inferior substitutes the demand cannot 

 lie met. Prices are nominal. 



Other F.vbrics. The excess of demand over supply holds 

 good for other fabrics also, owing to the general shortage of the 

 cotton crop. .All supplies for next year are practically sold out, 

 which affects the manufacture of waterproofing materials, of 

 hose and Iielting, and also of sheetings and drills and ducks for 

 1920.

THE MARKET FOR CHEMICALS AND COMPOUND- 

 ING INGREDIENTS. 

 NEW YORK. 



THE ABNORMAL DEMANDS for supplies by rubber goods man- 

 ufacturers and the paint industry, together with the strikes 

 of steel makers, coal miners and longshoremen, have produced 

 an unprecedented shortage in all lines. In practically every line 

 products are back-ordered several months and spot stocks are 

 extremely low. 



There has been a good demand for certain earths, clays and 

 fillers, possibly as substitutes. It has been impossible to supply 

 some of these lines for the reason that production has been 

 limited. 



.\nii.ine Oil. The demand exceeds the supply. During the 

 past monlh prices have advanced three cents per pound.
