THE MARKET FOR RUBBER SCRAP. 

 NEW YORK. 



TOURING the past monlh there has been no activity in the 

 *-^ market for scrap rubber. The stagnant condition for both 

 scrap and reclaimed rubber is attributed to the low level of 

 crude rubber and also to the lack of demand for mechanical 

 goods by such large consumers as the railroads. The latter factor 

 is regarded as soon to be eliminated in considerable degree when 

 consutning demand revives under the process of readjustment. 



The reclaimers at present are operating their plants at less 

 ihan half capacity and naturally are unresponsive to all scrap 

 ^ffers. particularly in view of the fact that the spring collections 

 are expected to be larsjer than usual and still further depress 

 prices. 



Scrap dealers are facing a perplexing situation with no imme- 

 diate relief m the way of improved conditions. Their available 

 propositions are described as of the "starvation" variety. 



Boots -VNo Shoes. Very little has been done. March average 

 prices have averaged 7^ cents. 



Inner Tubes. Practically no demand. Prices nominal. 



Mech.\nic.\ls, No improvement can be noted and prices tend 

 downward. 



Tires. The demand is insignificant even at reduced prices.
