THE RUBBER SCRAP MARKET. 



QUIET best describes the market for scrap rubber of late, 

 following the excitement that prevailed over prices at the 

 beginning of the month. In some quarters shoes were reported 

 easier, though current quotations do not bear this out. The flurry 

 in prices served to bring out some unexpected lots, but not in 

 sufficient quantity to affect the market, the figures consumers 

 offered being no inducement to dealers. Some reclaimers asserted 

 their ability to pick up small quantities at ten cents and even a 

 little lower. 



Tires being in fairly liberal supply the situation and immediate 

 outlook in this branch are irregular and uncertain, though prices 

 are quite strong. Dealers, however, report increasing stocks on 

 hand, which does not make for higher prices, and unless the price 

 of crude rubber makes the advance foretold tires are likely to 

 remain at prevailing figures. 



Mechanical scrap is very firm in price and in good demand, 

 particularly matting, packing and hose, garden hose being in 

 special request.
