THE MARKET FOR RUBBER SCRAP. 



Copyright, rp//. 



NEW YORK. 



WHATEVER strength developed in the rubber scrap market 

 early in the month was due, no doubt, to the firm posi- 

 tion of crude rubber, which had advanced strongly. This has 

 to a certain extent supported the scrap market, which has been 

 generally firm throughout the month with prices ruling about 

 the same as those quoted a month ago. About the middle of 

 the month rumors of peace resulted in cautious trading that fea- 

 tured the market until the inevitable quiet of the holiday season 

 prevailed. The many railroad embargoes have, moreover, ad- 

 versely afifected trading at this time and caused more or less diffi- 

 culties in shipping and receiving stocks. There was an easier 

 tendency noticed during the last week of the month and lower 

 values seemed imminent, but the volume of business done was 

 insuificient to affect the level of prices. 



Boots and Shoes. There has been some business done at 10 

 cents delivered, but lOl^ cents was the accepted dealers' price 

 for SO-ton lots. It is evident that supplies are not accumulating 

 to such an extent as to be burdensome. Trimmed and un- 

 trimmed arctics have moved freely, the former bringing as high 

 as 7^4 cents and the latter 6% to 6^ cents in a firm market. 



Auto Tires. Tires have been offered rather freely. Mixed tires 

 were fairly firm, but not very interesting to the mills at 7 cents, 

 although this price may have been shaded in some instances. 

 The special grades of white G. & G. tires were dull and feature- 

 less at 8{^ cents. Bicycle and solid tires were in good demand 

 at firm prices, ranging from 4}i to 5 cents for the former and 

 Syi to S^ cents for the latter. 



Inner Tubes. The demand has been good at prices slightly in 

 advance of those quoted a month ago. Sales of No. 1 tubes have 

 been made to the mills at 26 to 26^2 cents delivered. No. 2 and 

 red tubes have been firm at llj^^ cents. 



Mechanicals. Business in all grades has been very quiet 

 and confined to small lots. Hose, however, has received some 

 attention and has been fairly firm in price, the large grade bring- 

 ing lli cents. Air-brake hose had a limited call at S^ cents 

 delivered. 



London iinports of waste and reclaimed rubber for November 

 were 109,300 pounds; Liverpool, 20,100 pounds. Exports from 

 London were 1,244,000 pounds; from Liverpool, 106,800 pounds.
