THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



[Ai'RiL 1, 1917. 



is shown by tlic many calls for deliveries ahead of contract dat- 

 ing. A feature of the month was the heavy buying from the Cana- 

 dian mills, also for government requirements, with delivery as the 

 principal condition of sale. Spot stocks are very .scarce and the 

 mills are sold up to the end of the year. Prices have remained 

 unchanged and very firm. 



R.MNCO.\T F.MiRUS. The reported withdrawal of certain rain- 

 coat cloths cannot be verified. The demand has been steady and 

 all fall lines are well sold up. Government business is responsible 

 for heavy buying of certain lines and spot stocks are consequently 

 low. Prices are steady, with few changes worth recording.

 month, and the tendency on the part of both buyers and 

 sellers to await developments has dominated the situation. Cop- 

 per has been quiet and unchanged. The strong position of lead 

 has remained unchanged, but later in the month easier condi- 

 tions prevailed. Spelter was dull and inactive, resulting in easier 

 prices. Antimony was quiet and unchanged until late in the 

 month when the market became stronger. 



The demand for rubber chemicals ha.^ been active in all lines, 

 but the difficulty in obtaining materials and forwarding supplies 

 appears to be even greater than a month ago. In view of the 

 abnormal situation, and with spot prices at almost prohibitive 

 figures, the necessity of booking orders as far ahead as possible 

 is apparent. 



.'Xniline Oil. The foreign and domestic demand has been 

 active and supplies are low, due to the fact that there arc now
