FEDF.R,\TED MALAY STATES RUfiEER EXPORTS. 



An official cablegram, received from Kuala Lumpur, announces 

 that the export of plantation rubber from the Federated Malay 

 States during the month of September amounted to 3,334 tons 

 as compared with 3,796 tons in August and 2,879 tnns in tlie 

 corresponding month last year.

THE RUBBER SCRAP MARKET. 



October 30, 1915. 

 I "HE New York market developed considerable activity early 

 * in October, due to the spirited trading in boots and shoes. 

 It was apparently a trader's market, which the mills refused 

 to support with substantial orders. Prices asked for boots and 

 shoes were 8}i cents delivered. All other grades were inactive 

 and prices unchanged. 



The interest in boots and shoes continued during the month 

 despite the lack of large buying orders from the mills. The 

 price level was evidently too high, and consumers preferred 

 t(i wa't for lietter prices. However, actual transactions were 

 made at Syi cents. 



The rest of the list has not developed unusual interest. There 

 are excessive stocks of auto, tires, and prices are therefore 

 easier. Solid and bicycle tires, which have been slow for several 

 months, are firmer. There appears to be a surplus of white 

 tires, resulting in lower prices. Tubes are firmer, and a good 

 buying demand is anticipated by holders of tube stocks. No 

 change has been noted in the other grades of scrap, although 

 hose is receiving fair attention and prices are holding their 

 own.
