MARKET FOR COTTON AND OTHER FABRICS. 



NEW YORK. 

 A CCORDING to the official government figures recently pub- 

 ■** lished, the cotton production in the United States for 1915, 

 exclusive of linters, was 11,068,173 bales, the smallest grown since 

 1909, when the number of equivalent 500-pound bales was only 

 10,004,949. The crop for 1914, exclusive of linters, was 15,905,840 

 bales. 



EGYPTIAN COTTON. 

 The Egyptian Government has taken steps to prevent the im- 

 portation of dangerous cotton pests by prohibiting imports of 

 cotton plants, cotton lint, cottonseed, seed cotton and cotton 

 stalks. This law is much more drastic than the regulations 

 provided by the United States Department of Agriculture to 

 protect our cotton crop from imported disease. 



SEA isla:»d cotton. 



The official figures for Sea Island cotton production in 1915, 

 show that Florida produced 28,094 bales, Georgia, 57,572 bales, 

 and South Carolina, 6,178 bales, a total of 91,844 bales. There 

 was an increase of 10,000 bales compared to the 1914 crop, when 

 81,654 bales were produced, the crop being divided as follows: 

 Florida, 33,662 bales ; Georgia, 4?,395 bales ; South Carolina, 

 5,597. The estimated production of Sea Island cotton for 1916 

 is 100,000 bales. 



TIRE FABRICS. 



The demand for tire fabrics during the greater part of June, 

 has continued to engage the utmost activities of the producers. 

 Towards the end of the month, however, the smaller consum- 

 ing trade was less importunate in its demands, which led to the 

 belief in some quarters that tire fabrics were getting easier. 

 This is not altogether verified, as the prices are ruling strong 

 and show an increase over quotations made a month ago. This 

 is the commencement of the usually quiet season, of shut-downs 

 and inventory taking; moreover, the backward season and war 

 rumors all conspire to make unusual market conditions that can- 

 not be definitely explained. There has been no large source of 

 production developed recently ; raw material is high and labor 

 still continues to be high and scarce. Therefore, it would seem 

 that fundamentally the tire fabric situation is practically the same 

 as it was a month ago. 



COTTON ■ DUCK. 



Cotton duck still continues to be active, with a large demand 



for hose and belting duck. Prices have stiffened considerably, 



and an advance was expected during the last week of the past 



month. Price seems to be of secondary consideration, as the 

 question of delivery takes precedence over all terms now being 

 written in the contracts.

THE MARKET FOR CHEMICALS AND COMPOUND. 

 ING INGREDIENTS. 



NEW YORK 



•"PHE market weakness shown during the past month by many 

 ■*■ chemicals and compounding ingredients and the decline 

 in prices since April 1, is a strange anomaly. The sources of 

 production have not materially changed and basic metals in gen- 

 eral are still high, yet prices of many important chemicals used 

 by the rubber trade have declined. This has been in a measure 

 due to holders becoming uneasy and unloading. Many shipments 

 long overdue, arrived and were sold in a quiet market, resulting 

 in lower prices. Certain colors were weakened by the rumored
