THE MARKET FOR RUBBER SCRAP. 

 NEW YORK. 



"TPhe rubber scrap market has not emerged from the dull state 

 ^ which has characterized it for several months back. Re- 

 claimers have purchased shoe scrap in fair volume at a steady 

 rate. The demand for tires has been mainly confined to stock 

 suitable for rebuilding purposes. The outlet, however, has not 

 been sufficient to prevent the accumulation of a large supply 

 of scrap tire,^. This situation does not create a pessimistic feel- 

 ing with the scrap dealers, who look with confidence to the 

 spring demand from the reclaimers. 



The heavy snowfalls during the middle weeks of January 

 which were general over the North from the Middle West east- 

 ward, have tended to an increased offering of scrap shoes due to 

 the conviction that a sufficient extra crop will result in the 

 spring. 



The scrap market is described as soft and prices have recently 

 dropped in sympathy with a decline in crude rubber. 



Quotations on shoes are firm, and in general more offerings of 

 scrap are noted.

THE MARKET FOR COTTON AND OTHER FABRICS. 



NEW YORK. 



AMERICAN Cotton. Save for a slight flurry in the third week 

 of January, the cotton market remained extraordinarily 

 steady and dull throughout the month as it was in the last half 

 of December, with a daily record of no sales. On January 2 

 the spot price for middUng uplands cotton was 39.25 cents ; that 

 price continued unchanged till January 20, save for a slight drop 

 on one day, when it rose to 39.75 cents, sinking to 38.75 cents 

 two days later, and gettng back again to 39.25 on January 26. 



Egyptian Cotton. The Egyptian crop is very nearly sold 

 and as the demand still continues from England and the Con- 

 tinent the market has been pushed up until today good grades 

 of Sakel are worth about $1.25 per pound. There are some lots 

 of Uppers in Egypt around $1.20, but desirable cottons are scarce.
