THE MARKET FOR RUBBER SCRAP. 



Copyright 1917. 



NEW YORK. 



THERE has been very little interest shown in the rubber scrap 

 market during the past month. The volume of actual 

 business transacted has been small and the large buyers have 

 been conspicuously absent. January is the season of the year 

 when supplies are usually allowed to diminish in view of annual 

 stock taking. Moreover, the difficulties attending railroad ship- 

 ments have had a marked effect in depressing the general business 

 situation. The easier tone of the market is therefore explained 

 and the softening of prices is only a natural result of the prevail- 

 ing adverse conditions. The continued activity of the rubber mills 

 and reclaimers affords the belief that supplies have been greatly 

 reduced and active buying will not be long deferred. Generally 



speaking, prices have undergone comparatively few changes 

 during the montli and with few exceptions the revision was 

 downward. 



Boors .\ND Shoks. This has been ihc weakest material on the 

 list and prices have declined H to J4 cent. Consumers have 

 consistently refused to buy at the prevailing prices with the- 

 expectation of lower values. Trimmed and untrimmed arctics 

 were easy, and despite minor fluctuations, prices are tlie same as 

 quoted a month ago. 



.•\i;to Tirks. The situation in tires has been devoid of interest 

 and prices have eased off accordingly. G. & G. white tires are 

 14 cent lower than a month ago. Bicycle and solid tires were 

 dull and unchanged. 



Inner Tubks. There has been little doing in tubes and busi- 

 ness has been limited to small orders as buyers are confident of 

 securing better figures. The quiet conditions ruling in the crude 

 rubber market doubtless explains the easy position of tubes. 

 Prices have fluctuated during the month but are now about the 

 same as a month ago. 



London imports of waste and reclaimed rubber for December 

 were 78,100 pounds, and Liverpool 179,400 pounds, as compared 

 to 109,300 and 20,100 pounds, respectively, for November. Ex- 

 ports for December were as follows: London, 1,158,900 pounds; 

 Liverpool, 303,200 pounds, as compared to 1,244,000 and 106,800 

 pounds for November.

THE MARKET FOR CHEMICALS AND COMPOUND- 

 ING INGREDIENTS. 



Copyright, 1917. 



NEW YORK. 



■"PHE demand for rubber chemicals and ingredients during the 

 ■'• past month has been exceedingly active. The dealers re- 

 port unprecedented business in rubber materials, and the many 

 inquiries received indicate that it will continue. Ocean rates are 

 abnormally high. Only limited space is obtainable at $40 to $60 

 a ton, the rate normally being $7.50 to $10 a ton. The heavy 

 export demand has reduced stocks of many ingredients, and re- 

 sulted in advanced prices. Imports have been seriously affected, 

 due to well-known shipping difficulties, and the recent British 

 requisition of 85 per cent of the cargo space will further com- 

 plicate trade with neutral Europe. There is every reason to 

 believe a protective tariff will eventually be levied on all rubber 

 chemicals imported into England. 



Carbon Gas Black. The heavy export demand has exhausted 

 all stocks in sight, and prices have advanced 5 cents a pound.
