THE MARKET FOR RUBBER SCRAP. 



Copyright, 1918. 

 NEW YORK. 



THE tendency is upward, at least in some lines. The fact 

 that makers of auto tires under six inches can now make 

 seventy-five per cent of their former output, instead of the 

 fifty per cent to which they have been limited for some time, is 

 expected to have an influence on scrap prices. Shipping facili- 

 ties, it is thought, will be somewhat better, which will improve 

 the general demand. 



Boots and Shoes.— An increase in the movement is noticeable 

 at, say, around, 8% cents, while really good lots are worth 9 

 cents, c. i. f. mills. 



Inner Tubes.— A very light demand with prices practically 

 unchanged. 



Mechanicals. — As dull as ever, prices the same. 



Tires.— B white tires are selling at 5^ and even 6 cents. 

 Mixed tires cannot be had now for less than Syi cents.

THE MARKET FOR COTTON AND OTHER FABRICS. 



Copyright, 1918. 

 NEW YORK. 

 r^L'E to the signing of the armistice, to the decision of the 

 ■"-^ committee not to fix prices, and to the Government's for- 

 bidding domestic and foreign short selling there have been vio- 

 lent fluctuations during the past month in the New York cotton 

 market. On October 30, middling uplands was 30.75 cents, on 

 November 25, it was 29.75 cents. 



Se.\ l.sLAND Cotton. — Market continues very quiet, with little 

 or no cotton changing hands, such little demand as there is being 

 at lower figures than owners are willing to accept. Every now 

 and then small distress lots are offered, indicating that it would 

 I)ay mills to send orders in force for a few days, provided they 

 need any cotton. Average extra choice sells for 70 cents at New 

 York. 



Cotton Fabrics. — The market has been lifeless witli no change 

 in prices. Present prices on hose and belting duck will remain 

 the same until January 1. While Government business has sub- 

 sided, the mills are sold ahead on regular orders to next July, 

 and it is not reasonable to look for change in prices for the next 

 six months.
