THE MARKET FOR RUBBER SCRAP. 



Copyright 1916. 



NEW YORK. 



D UBBER scrap has beeit firm during the past inonth, with the 

 *^ principal interest centered in boots and shoes. The upward 

 tendency of crude rubber has had a strengthening effect on the 

 rubber scrap market, and, with few exceptions, boots and shoes 

 are the only commodities that have advanced materially. These 

 show a gain of f^ to ^ cent over the delivered price quoted a 

 month ago. 



The mills are reported to have bought quite heavily in some 

 localities, but the volume of business transacted has not been 

 sufficient to advance prices generally. Supplies are reported to 

 be below the average, and, moreover, it is generally expected that 

 at this time of the year collections will diminish. From the num- 

 ber of inquiries it is believed that the mills are considering re- 

 plenishing their stocks, which are supposed to be low. , Now 

 that rubber mills are in the market for crude rubber there is rea- 

 son to believe that reclaimers will soon follow, for reclaimed 

 rubber is the principal filler used in rubber manufacture. 



Boots and Shoes. That the reclaimers have paid as high as 

 9^4 cents, delivered, for this material is questioned; however, it 

 is reported that orders have been filled at 9^ cents, delivered. 

 Both trimmed and untrimmed arctics were firm at 7^ and 6%, 

 respectively. 



Auto Tires. Mixed tires have shown the most strength under a 

 fairly good demand at 654 to 6% cents, delivered. There has 

 been little interest taken in white G. & G. tires and prices are 

 unchanged. Bicycle and solid tires have moved fairly well dur- 

 ing the month and show a slight advance in price. 



Inner Tubes. There has been very little doing in tlie various 

 grades of tubes other than the usual inovement in No. 1 grays 

 and reds at prices ruling a month ago. 



Mechanicals. Nothing of importance has developed in this 

 material, although hose received some attention during the 

 month. Prices are about the same as last month. 



London imports of waste and reclaimed rubber for October 

 were 167.800 pounds; Liverpool, 30.000 pounds. Exports from 

 London were 971.600 pounds; Liverpool, 465,700 pounds.
