1! THE RUBBER SCRAP MARKET,

NEW YORK. 



3.526 '.'.'.'.'..'. T~'HERE was very little prospect early in July of much activity 



_, ^^2 ■*■ in the rubber scrap market during the month. And so it 



— '■ was proven, as week after week passed without important 



changes in market conditions or price levels. It is true that 

 values were slightly lower at the close of the month, which is 



34.266 only a natural result of weakness, due to a dull market. 



31.626 '..'....'. The mills are undoubtedly well supplied with stocks that will 



^M20 carry them over the quiet period between now and the time for 



66.540 $102,136 speeding up for fall business, .^s crude rubber responds to the 

 dictation of London, in a similar way rublier scrap is influenced 



57,740 by the conditions controlling the crude rubber market, which has 



73,486 ....... been quiet. 



^^'''^° Boots and shoes, early in the month, developed an easier 



49,700 $304,486 tendency and some dealers were making offers of 8V3 cents 



delivered. It was reported that buyers were secured at these 



89,726 ....... figures. Tires were quiet, with the e.xception of a little move- 



ggggQ meiU in mixed auto tires at 6^ cents. White goods were nomi- 



83700 nally quoted to mills at 8% to 8^ cents, and bicycle tires were 



steady at A'A to 4% cents. There was no change in No. 1, inner 

 tubes, being nominally held at 26 to 27 cents delivered. The 

 balance of the list was devoid of new features and prices were 

 nominally unchanged. 



The month closed without improvement in the generally dull 

 condition that has characterized the rubber scrap market for the 

 past month. There is belief in some quarters that a general buy- 

 ing movement is due early in August. By referring to the fol- 

 lowing market quotations of July 28, it will be seen that there 

 has been a slight downward revision of prices since a month 

 ago, and practically no cliangc during the last three weeks of 

 Jnly.
