THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



[April 1, 1920. 



AwzoNA Cotton. This year's crop of Pima has all been sold 

 with the exception of a limited number of bales of very low 

 grade cotton oi indifferent staple. The last prices were around 

 $1.05. Seventy cents a pound has been bid in Arizona for new 

 crop cotton without bringing any response. New crop has been 

 offered in the East at $1.02 with like results. Reports from 

 Phoenix indicate a somewhat increased acreage for next season 

 and optimists are predicting a 50,000 bale crop. 



Sea Island Cotton. Price for average extra choice is now 

 $1.10 with very little cotton offered. It is probable that there will 

 be sufficient demand between now and new crop to absorb prac- 

 tically all of the stock on hand. This means no carry-over into 

 next season. A very small acreage will be planted next year 

 in South Carolina, Georgia and Florida to Sea Island cotton. 

 Probably the crop will not amount to more than 9,000 bales. 



Ducks and Drills. The market continues firm, the demand 

 being much greater than the supply, as will continue to be 

 the case so long as there is a scarcity in the raw material. The 

 high prices continue to be quoted without a notable change. 



Raincoat Cloth. The trade has been rather quiet as manu- 

 facturers have enough stock on hand to keep them going for 

 some months to come. Prices have advanced, however, because 

 large gray goods operators are buying heavily, both spot and 

 futures. 



Sheetings. After a lull of some weeks buying has started 

 again and the buyers are finding that goods for near delivery 

 are scarce. All the mills are busy and have orders for all they 

 can do comfortably for some time to come. 



Tire Fabrics. The market for tire fabrics is practically at a 

 standstill, as there are no goods for sale and none are to be 

 had for from four to six months from now. What sales occur 

 are only of odd lots. No dealers are covering 1921 owing to the 

 high prices demanded. The yarn manufacturers ask exorbitant 

 prices and the fabric manufacturers who buy their goods must 

 add these prices to their own.
