THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



[October 1, 1916. 



Sheetings, Dkills anu K.nameunc Duck. The market is 

 stniiiR aiul price advances have been recorded in tlie entire list 

 during the month. Wide grades arc prominent in the demand, 

 which is al)surhinK the capacity of the mills. Rubberized sheet- 

 ing with imitation leather finish for auto tops is being substi- 

 tuted for cotton mohair. 



Tire Fabrics. The demand is very great and the mills are 

 sold up to capacity. The advancing prices of raw material and 

 inability of the manufacturers to secure the necessary labor and 

 new loom equipment have advanced prices and prolonged con- 

 tract deliveries of tire falirics to July, 1917. While it is generally 

 conceded that the large consumers are covered, there arc indi- 

 cations of a shortage in tire building fabrics.

THE MARKET FOR CHEMICALS AND OTHER 

 INGREDIENTS. 



Ci'fyriiiht 1916. 

 NEW YORK, 



■ I 'HE rubber chemical market for the past month has dc- 

 ■^ veloped no unusual features worthy of special record, 

 (jcncrally speaking, tlic situation has been dull and prices have 

 declined, with but few exceptions in the list. This was 

 expected as a natiir.il result of the high prices prevailing 

 during the past year and their return to normal levels. 

 Toward the end of September, trade was better in certain 

 i|uartcrs, both foreign and domestic; inquiries had increased 

 and, in consequence, prices were a shade firmer. These are 

 signs of returning business activity that is confidently ex- 

 pected to be fully realized by November. 



Rarytes. The trade continues to take goodly amounts of 

 liarytes, and the demand keeps pace with the production. 

 which is constantly increasing. Prices are firm and some- 

 what lower than a month ago. 



l.iTiiARGK. Contract deliveries of litharge have been freely 

 made to the mills during the month. Producers report being 

 w-ell sold ahead for some time. There is a good demand and 

 considerable inquiry for export. Prices are firm and un- 

 changed. 



i^iTHOPONE. Both foreign and domestic lithopone have 

 gradually declined during the month. There was consider- 

 able movement of this material against old contracts placed 

 some time ago at different prices. Spot stocks are not plenti-
