THE MARKET FOR RUBBER SCRAP. 



Cofyrighl, 1916. 



NEW YORK. 



TTHE rubber scrap market has shown a tendency to gradually 

 •^ work upward in sympathy wilh the advancing position of 

 crude rubber. The flurry caused by the German submarines 

 along our coasts stiffened prices somewhat, and although the 

 .scare was of short duration, it added to the strength of the 

 dealers' position. 



The opinion that the reclaimers are doing a good business is 

 supported by reports that the rubber mills are already busy on 

 the regular fall and winter work. That tlie rubber scrap market 

 will feel the result of this activity before long is the belief of 

 the large dealers who are holding out for better prices, and in 

 fact the small dealers are equally adverse to letting go their 

 holdings at the present ruling prices. Purchases therefore have 

 been usually of small volume and the general business has only 

 been fair for the month and this particular period. 



EiiOTS AND Shoes, — These have been quiet and more or less unsettled 

 during the month as the mills have not appeared to be greatly interested 

 in the prevailing nominal quotation of 9l<i cents delivered. The diversity 

 of opinion as to the available stocks and supplies and the absence of marked 

 activity has failed to establish set prices in this material. 



Auto Tires. — If anything, the tire situation has developed a certain 

 amount of strength in Octolaer. Toward the end of the month, activity 

 was noticed particularly in mixed tires. Offers were rnade of 6^ cents 

 delivered, and sales at (tVi delivered were reported. G. & G. tires have 

 been quiet and considered a dealers' proposition. Reclaimers are quoted as 

 saying that at present price of .83^ cents for this grade works out at a 

 loss to them. 



Inner Tl'Bfs. — The tone of inner tubes has been a little stronger of late 

 due to the rubber position, although activity has been lacking in all grades. 

 Dealers are reported to be carrying comparatively limited stocks and deliv. 

 ered prices have ranged between 25 and 25^'^ cents. 



Mechanicais, — .-Ml grades have been inactive, but the indications for 

 good fall business are encouracing. Hose has been particularly steady 

 and prices throughout the entire list are practically unchanged. 



London imports of waste and reclaimed rubber for September were 

 71,100 pounds; Liverpool. 61.500 pounds. Re-exports were; London, 1,800 

 pounds; Liverpool, 2,400 pounds. The September exports of waste and 

 reclaimed rubber manufactures of the United Kingdom were; London, 

 539,300 pounds; Liverpool, 191,500 pounds.
