THE MARKET FOR RUBBER SCRAP. 



NEW YORK. 

 ■"PHERE was quite a little business during the month of Jan- 

 •* uary although the volume of transactions decreased toward 

 the end of the month. A greater volume of business in tires had 

 been expected. Reclaimers have not been receiving any large 

 orders, but they are looking forward with confidence to a return 

 to pre-war conditions that came to such an abrupt end when the 

 government started its war-time regulations and restrictions. 

 We look forward to considerable exports of reclaims and scrap 

 before long, and as the number of motor trucks in use is sure to 

 increase phenomenally, the scrap market will profit in proportion 

 to the new demand. 



Boots and Shoes— More business continues to be done in boots 

 and shoes than in other lines. A month ago prices ranged from 



THE MARKET FOR COTTON AND OTHER FABRICS. 



NEW YORK. 



A DECLINING market is one where caution is a virtue. 

 Cotton is now over $80 a bale below the prices of the early 

 part of last September, and everybody is convinced that the 

 tobogganing is far from finished. Labor troubles are spreading 

 in all the textile centers of the United States and Great Britain. 

 Southern stocks are very large and Senators from the cotton- 

 growing states have cabled to President Wilson, asking him to 

 remove all embargoes on the exportation of cotton to non- 

 enemy countries, as well as to permit exports to Germany and 

 Austria. 



Egyptian Cotton. — On January 21 the War Trade Board 

 ended all restrictions on the importations of Egj-ptian cotton. 

 Import licenses are now issued without requiring the endorse- 

 ment of the bill of lading to the Textile Alliance, Inc. This is 

 fortunate, as Egyptian cotton imports amounted to only 80,000 

 bales in 1918, whereas the average annual pre-war importations 

 were 200,000 bales. 



Sea Island Cotton. — Information from South Carolina, 

 Georgia, and Florida indicates that the Sea Island cotton crop 

 will be negligible the coming season. The amount of Sea Island 

 ginned this season up to January 16 was 41,080 bales as against 

 88,869 bales last year during the corresponding period, and 

 113,359 bales the previous year. The government estimate of
