THE MARKET FOR RUBBER SCRAP. 



NEW YORK. 



THE upward tendency has not developed further strength, 

 but there has been very little sagging during the month, 

 and as so many commodities have moved downward during the 

 last few weeks, scrap dealers may have cause for thankfulness, 

 if not for jubilation. There is great satisfaction over the fact 

 that the Government no longer places any restrictions on the use 

 of rubber by manufacturers. While, of course, crude-rubber 

 men also have reason to be glad for that, the value of reclaimed 

 rubber is so well established that scrap dealers expect both 

 better prices and more business within the next few weeks. 



THE MARKET FOR COTTON AND OTHER FABRICS. 



NEW YORK. 



THE total production of cotton in the United States for 1918- 

 1919 is now estimated by the Department of Agriculture at 

 5,595,529,000 pounds— linters not included— equivalent to 11,700,- 

 000 bales. In 1917, 11,302,375 bales had been produced, and in. 

 1916, 11,449,930 bales. This year's production thus exceeds- 

 last year's by 398,000 bales. The maximum prices and restric- 

 tions on cotton fabrics and manufacture enforced by the price- 

 fixing committee of the War Industries Board end January 1, 

 1919, when the Board itself goes out of existence. No part of 

 the stocks of cotton goods purchased by the Government wilt 

 be sold in the open market, which would disturb the cotton goods- 

 market. The greater part of the stocks will be used for Euro- 

 pean relief, and some will be sold back to the manufacturers. 



Since December 20, 1918, the follow-'ng commodities are no 

 longer on the export conservation list : Egyptian cotton, air- 

 plane cotton duck, cotton linters, rubberized silk suitable for use 

 in the manufacture of aircraft and silk schappe. 



Egyptian Cotton. — The War Trade Board announces that 

 the regulations on the importation of Egyptian cotton issued in 

 W, T. B. R. 144, June 30, 1918, are revoked. Beginning Janu- 

 ary 1, 1919, licenses will be granted to import not to exceed 40,000' 

 bales of Egyptian cotton, quality or grade unlimited. The War 

 Trade Board will control the distribution in this country of the- 

 quantities imported through the Textile Alliance, Inc. 



Sea Island Cotton. — Net receipts at Savannah this season 

 are 4,775 bales, against 19,859 last year. Interior points report 

 an increase of business with prices a cent or two higher. G\a-
