THE RUBBER SCRAP MARKET. 



Co fy right igi6. 



NEW YORK. 



AUGUST is usually a dull month in the rubber scrap market 

 and with the e.xception of deliveries on contracts there has 

 been but little business to claim attention from the trade. The 

 easy tendency noted a month ago has continued without change 

 for the better, resulting in a heavy market with downward ten- 

 dencies. Crude rubber continues to be weak and, in fact, the 

 rubber trade in general has been apathetic towards all markets 

 at this time. Price changes have been unimportant and at the 

 close of the month the market was decidedly weak. 



Boots and Shoes. It is reported that supplies are not abun- 

 dant and that spring collections have been absorbed. During the 

 month, sales are said to have been made to the mills for 8^ 

 cents, but 8^ cents is generally considered the outside price. 



Auto Tires. Tires have continued weak and some conces- 

 sions in price have been noticed during the month. G. & G. 

 white tires were ofifered at prices ranging from 8 to 8^ cents 

 delivered, but the mills have not appeared interested. The other 

 grades are unchanged in price and easy in tone. 



Inner Tubes. There has been no interest shown in inner 

 tubes, as the manufacturers are apparently well supplied. For 

 No. 1 tubes the delivered price is held nominally at 24j^ to 25 

 cents with buying confined to small lots. Compounds are slow 

 and weak. 



Mechanicals. In mechanical .scrap some grades are stagnant 

 and prices generally weak. 



LONDON AND LIVEUrOOL STATISTICS. 



During July 74 tons of waste and reclaimed rubber were im- 

 ported into London and 252 tons exported during the same 

 period. Liverpool's imports were 26 tons and 6S tons exported.
