THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



Egyptian Cotton. It is estimated that the 1918 crop will 

 amount to about five million cantars but on account of the 

 quantity of the 1917 crop which was carried over and ginned 

 with the 1918 crop, the final statistics will probably show about 

 5,400,000 cantars. A cantar is approximately 98 pounds. 



It is doubtful if there will be enough cotton to cover present 

 sales of government type No. 1. Owing to the poor quality of 

 the crop, Sakellarides types of extra staple will be very scarce. 



Sea Island Cotton. The southern markets have been ex- 

 ceedingly quiet and quotations are nominal. From August 1, 

 1918, to January 31, 1919, 38,104 bales were received, compared 

 with 47,813 bales last year. After deducting exports, the stock 

 on hand was 15,268 bales, compared with 17,207 bales last year. 

 On January 31, 1919, the crop in sight at all ports was 22,340 

 bales, compared with 46,599 bales a year ago. 



Ducks. Drills, and Osnaburgs. While market conditions 

 are not what they should be at this time, they are better than 

 last month, owing to a noticeably better demand. Prices have 

 declined. 



Rainco.\t Fabrics. A few large sales were reported last 

 month but nearly all orders were very small and for spot de- 

 liveries. Buyers who have kept out of the market for a long 

 period may be at a disadvantage when the necessity comes for 

 placing quantity orders. 



TiRiv Fabrics. Although, the market was generally quiet and 

 prices easier than a month ago, there has been a steady demand 

 for comparatively small stocks for immediate delivery. Quota- 

 tions are slightly lower than at this time last month and in fact 

 considerably lower than a year ago when there was no im- 

 mediate prospect of industrial activity.
