E.xports of waste and reclaimed rubber from London and 

 Liverpool for June, 1916, were 600 tons, divided as follows: 

 United States, 313 tons; Italy, 197 tons; France, 49 tons; Spain, 

 35 tons ; Java and Straits Settlements, 6 tons. 



government requirements and the market is firm with prices 

 of hose and belting duck at the same levels as a month ago. 



MARKET FOR COTTON AND OTHER FABRICS. 



NEW YORK. 



IT was generally expected that the official figures for June 

 would indicate a falling off in the condition of the present 

 cotton crop. The actual report, however, revealed a con- 

 dition of 81.1 compared with 80.2, the ten-year average. 

 Favorable^ crop progress during June is not, as a rule, ac- 

 cepted as conclusive evidence of future yield. More appre- 

 hension is felt of the uncertainty between now and the 

 maturing period, particularly on account of the restriction in 

 the use of fertilizer and the evidence that boll weevil are 

 more numerous than ever before within a restricted area. 



EGYPTI.\N COTTON. 



Cabled reports from Alexandria indicate a rather sensitive 

 market, due, no doubt, to the approaching finish of the old 

 crop stock. There is apparently a good demand from abroad, 

 which is rapidly exhausting present stocks, resulting in a 

 very narrow market that is extremely liable to fluctuate. 

 Sakelarides qualities are practically exhausted. Crop growth 

 is reported to be very satisfactory. 



SEA ISLAND COTTON. 



The weather during the month of June has been generally 

 favorable, and the crop has made satisfactory progress. The 

 entire section has had beneficial rains, which have improved 

 the outlook very much. .Although in some instances the 

 young plant is reported small and backward, the general 

 condition is quite up to a good average, and with continuance 

 of favorable weather the new crop may begin to come to 

 market the latter part of August and early September. Esti- 

 mates still are about 100.000 bales and upwards. 

 TIRE FABRICS. 



The July market for tire fabrics has generally maintained 

 a strong position, although the situation during the last week 

 of the month appeared to be somewhat easier. This was 

 due to the usual quiet that prevails at this time of the year, 

 when full deliveries are not strictly held to contract. 



Producers have therefore been able to meet their obliga- 

 tions that would have been otherwise burdensome. De- 

 liveries of new loom equipment are slow and overtime and 

 double shift operations are seriously interfered with through 

 a scarcity of textile workers. 



Sea Island building fabric has advanced, but Egyptian and 

 Peelers have recorded no change during the month. 



COTTON DUCK. 

 The demand for duck has been accelerated by orders for

 month. The mills are busy with stock taking, making repairs
